As a Columbia University researcher interested in depositing my work in Academic Commons, I need to understand the guidelines. Specifically, what are the preferred file formats for submission, and what are the rules or considerations for depositing work that has been previously published or is also published elsewhere?
Navigate to academiccommons.columbia.edu Click on the 'FAQ' link. On the 'Frequently Asked Questions' page, click on the 'Uploading & Submitting' link. Locate and identify the preferred file formats for submission. Locate and identify the guidelines or restrictions on depositing previously published or simultaneously published work.
State that the system supports most file formats but prefers non-proprietary or widely used formats, and does not accept file formats that are redirects to web pages (e.g., Google Docs). Clarify that restrictions on depositing previously published work depend on the researcher's individual publication agreements with journals and publishers. Mention that Academic Commons does not make editorial decisions or peer-review content. State that Sherpa/Romeo can be a resource for checking publisher policies regarding self-archiving.
