Registration as a Depositor for the LJMU Research Archive
At the moment it is not possible to register as a depositor- if you have items you would like to be considered for inclusion please contact the Project Officer.
Registration
First time depositors (whether academic staff, administrator or other party) must agree with the Research Archive Deposit Agreement (PDF) before they can be registered as a depositor. A person acting on behalf of the author may make the agreement. Read the Deposit Agreement then use the "Register" link at the bottom of this page to open the registration form, enter your LJMU username and password and follow the instructions. For more details see the User Guide.
Why is a deposit agreement required?
LJMU Research Archive supports the long-term preservation and free access to research documents produced by members of LJMU. To undertake this role, L&SS staff need permission to store, copy and manipulate the material in order to ensure that it can be preserved and made available in the future.
This deposit agreement is designed to give L&SS staff the rights to do this and to confirm that the depositor has the right to submit the material to the archive. The agreement is non-exclusive and the depositor does not give away any of their rights to LJMU Research Archive.
Your right to publish your work(s)
Rights granted to LJMU Research Archive through this agreement are non-exclusive. You are free to publish the work(s) in its/their present or future version(s) elsewhere and no ownership is assumed by the Research Archive when storing the research material.
You will be informed by email, from dtl@digitool.jmu.ac.uk, when your registration is complete.
