Ok, so how do I deposit my publication in a repository?
  1. As soon as possible and at the latest on publication, deposit your published version or final peer-reviewed manuscript accepted for publication in a repository for scientific publications. Moreover, you must aim to deposit at the same time the research data needed to validate the results presented in the deposited scientific publication.

  2. Ensure open access to the deposited publication — via the repository — at the latest: on publication (for articles published in open access journals), or within six months of publication (twelve months for publications in the social sciences and humanities) in any other case.

  3. When you deposit, you must also ensure open access to the descriptive metadata that identify the deposited publication. This metadata must be in a standard format and must include all of the following:
    • the words ["European Union (EU)" and "Horizon 2020"] ["Euratom" and Euratom research and training programme 2014-2018"];
    • the name of the project, acronym and grant number;
    • the publication date, and length of embargo period if applicable, and
    • a persistent identifier.

It is not enough to add the publications to Dropbox, project websites, or academic social networks such as Academia.edu or ResearchGate.
