How do I submit my research to the Repository?
The Library needs a License and Submission agreement to host your scholarly work. To obtain an agreement contact the repository administrator at nehehemann@yukonu.ca cc library@yukonu.ca
Research funded by the Tri-Agency
Any research output that is funded by the Tri-Agency requires copyright clearance for submission of a post-print to an institutional repository from the publisher as outlined in Tri-Agency Open Access Policy on Publications: https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/eng/h_F6765465.html.
If there are any omissions or more information is required a repository administrator will be in contact with you.
If you have any questions about submissions contact Library Services or The YukonU Research Services Office for submission help.
What can I submit to the repository?
Any research output produced while at YukonU. This includes research projects, reports, capstone projects, articles (pre-prints, post prints,and publisher copies), book chapters, technical reports, multimedia presentations (PowerPoint presentation as a PDF, podcasts, images, videos in MP3, WAV, mp4, mov, qt, m4v, avi, mkv, ogg).
Can I include my publication in the repository and still publish in a journal?
Most journal publishers now allow authors to deposit their papers in repositories, but different journals have different rules. If you are unsure about a particular journal, email the Research Services Office (RSO). Some allow inclusion in a repository before (pre-print) or after (post-print) the paper's publication. Some have an embargo period between publication and deposit in a repository. Some will also stipulate how post-prints should be formatted. If you're ready to sign a publishing agreement, make sure you investigate the option to self-archive (in the university repository).
Is all content in YURSpace open to the public?
YURSpace is primarily intended to be an open access repository. The repository provides as much open access information as possible. Projects with industry partners can still be published. Only the metadata (data about the project or research output) will be open.
Where can I submit my datasets?
Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR)
FRDR Portage, Compute Canada (CC) and the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) have collaborated to produce the Federated Research Data Repository. Servers are located in B.C. and Ontario. There is a theoretical dataset limit of 4TB due to the limitation of the Archivematica data preservation system. To submit a dataset, log into FRDR and click on “Deposit Dataset” in the toolbar at the top of the page. Click on “Submit a New Dataset” in the “New Submission” box. This will take you to a page titled Submit: Select Storage Group. Make sure you select “YukonU" under Special Storage Groups!
Borealis: The Canadian Data Repository
Borealis is a publicly accessible and secure Canadian data repository provided by Scholars Portal on behalf of the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) and other participating institutions. Borealis can be used by affiliated researchers to deposit, share, and archive research data. The limit for an individual file upload on Borealis is 2.5 GB. There is no set limit on the overall storage per dataverse. Larger datasets should be uploaded to FRDR.
Open Science Framework (OSF)
Open Science Framework (OSF) is a free and open source cloud-based data management system developed by the Center for Open Science (COS). OSF uses Google Cloud for active and archival storage and Amazon Glacier as a backup location. The U.S. is OSF’s default storage location. A variety of storage locations are available, including Canada (Montreal). There is no limit on storage per project and no cap on the amount of OSF Storage per user. Direct upload of individual files to OSF Storage has a 5GB limit. If data needed for a project already exists in one of the services above, it can be connected to OSF rather than transferring it. This feature is also useful if a file exceeds the 5 GB limit for upload. OSF has built-in version control and provides access to previous versions of files, including those stored on add-ons. A list of available storage add-ons in OSFnincludes platforms like Amazon S3, ownCloud, Dataverse, GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab.
Once datasets are deposited they will be linked to the research output published in YURSpace.
