As a USU faculty member, I want to submit an old research paper and a related dataset to DigitalCommons@USU. What's the preferred scanning method for optimal searchability, can I include the dataset, and what HTML tags are supported for abstract formatting?
Navigate to 'digitalcommons.usu.edu'. Click on the 'Author FAQ' link. Click on the FAQ question 'I don't have electronic versions of old working papers that I'd like to include in the repository. Is it okay to scan the printed page to a PDF file?' to reveal its answer. Click on the FAQ question 'Can I post related files (sound clips, data sets, etc.) alongside my submission?' to reveal its answer. Click on the FAQ question 'When I copy and paste abstracts into the Submit form, some formatted text reverts to plain text. What's going on?' to reveal its answer. Extract the preferred scanning method, confirmation regarding dataset inclusion, and the list of supported HTML tags.
State that the preferred method for scanning old papers is OCR capture of image scans, where users see the image but search the full-text. Confirm that related files, such as datasets, can be posted alongside the main submission. List the supported HTML tags for abstract formatting: `<p>`, `<br>`, `<strong>`, `<em>`, `<sub>`, `<sup>`.
