Landing page of the project

2. Find your publications

For every project landing page in OpenAIRE Portal there’s a set of tools where you can:

• Check if your publications are all  identified and related,
  • If yes,  they will automatically appear in the EC Research Participant Portal
  • If not,  you can search your publication in openAIRE and use the Link functionality to link it to your project

    

  • If your publication doesn’t appear in OpenAIRE you have to make a deposit in a compatible Repository

Ensure Open Access to the deposited publication.
An embargo of six months (or 12 months for the social sciences and humanities) is acceptable.

When you are at the Participant Portal, and if you follow the previous steps, all your work is done!

In Participant Portal you can log in and curate your publications list:

• The one’s suggested by OpenAIRE
• The one’s you’ve already uploaded

Synthesizing

Reporting made easy with OpenAIRE:

• Deposit once and OpenAIRE will facilitate the posting of your publications on your project website, CORDIS and European Commission Research Participant Portal! and your publications will automatically appear in the EC Research Participant Portal (SygMa).
• OpenAIRE can apply cleaning, transformation, disambiguation processes, and identify relationships among all research entities: publications, data, software, projects.
• When you publish or deposit in Open Access you should use a fully OpenAIRE compatible repository. If you don't, use OpenAIRE linking services afterwards and associate your research results.

Many repositories are OpenAIRE compliant: they share information with OpenAIRE allowing us to link your publications with your project.

Check if your repository is OpenAIRE compatible

Find an appropriate repository

If the repository of choice is not yet OpenAIRE compatible, use the OpenAIRE Link service to let us know about your publications.
