Apollo upgrade complete - preprint deposit service now available
Apollo, the University repository has been successfully upgraded. Following a period of system downtime while the upgrade took place, it is now possible to make open access, research data and doctoral thesis deposits into Apollo from Elements.
We are also happy to announce that a new preprints deposit service is now available. Researchers can use Elements to deposit preprints in Apollo:
- where there is no suitable subject repository/preprint server available
- instead of depositing them to an external subject repository/preprint server such as ArXiv
Please do not deposit preprints that have already been published on a subject repository/preprint server unless you have concerns about long-term preservation. See the Open access website for guidance on publishing preprints, including a preprint checker tool to help you select a suitable preprint server for your discipline.
