  • Verifying and including the citation/publication details of your work within its metadata;
  • Converting any MS Word file/s to PDF format (if required and appropriate) for storage and access within the repository;
  • Exposing your publication in the repository to make it available to the global research community and discoverable via the Internet, e.g. Google, Google Scholar, etc.;
  • Abiding by and managing any embargos associated with your publication or work;
