You can search categories by keyword or select from the drop-down menu. 

The categories are taken from the Australian Fields of Research (FoR) Classification.

This field corresponds to your Cluster or Division and is pre-populated.

If you need to publish the item in another Group, please contact Library@SingaporeTech.edu.sg.

Select the appropriate Item type from the drop-down menu.

A small "i" icon will appear when you mouse over an item type. Click on the icon and you will see a short description to help you decide if the item type is suitable for your data.

Keywords are more specific than the Category and help others to find your work. Add as many keywords as you like. Press Enter after each one.

Add an abstract or meaningful description of the contents of the item. This should include any relevant information that pertains to your research.

If your research is funded by a grant, it can be entered in this field.

When typing in your funder information, IRR will search Dimensions, a grant database, bridging the connection between your research outputs and the funder.

If your funder is not listed in Dimensions, just type the funder information into the field and don't select anything from the drop-down menu.

This is a set of fields that allow you to create a link to a related publication for your deposited item, e.g. the publisher's version of your deposited paper, or the publication related to your deposited dataset.

Add any URL links that contain related information to your research outputs, e.g. project websites, study registrations, other publications, etc. You may enter multiple entries.

Apply an appropriate licence to the item. Deposited items in IRR should be as open as possible and as closed as necessary, and the licence will determine how others can reuse your content.

We recommend that you choose a Creative Commons or other open licence that allows for wide reuse and suggest a CC-BY-NC 4.0 for datasets and MIT or Apache 2.0 or GPL 3.0+ for code. For more information on which licence to choose, click the Check publisher Open Access Policy link on the right-hand side, or check out the Library's Copyright Guide.

If you have questions about licensing and copyright, please contact Library@SingaporeTech.edu.sg.

Enter the date of publication, date of document, date of public distribution or year of the work.

Select the version of the publication deposited. Check Sherpa Romeo to determine which version should be deposited:

• Pre-print (pre-peer review version)
• Post-print (post-peer review version)
• Published version (publisher PDF)

Published items (publications) often require a specific rights statement to be included in that item's metadata. Add the publisher's statement and/or citation as required by their self-archiving policy.

Publisher statements and policies can be found from Sherpa Romeo or on the publisher's self-archiving (or similar) web page.
