When should you use Trace?Whenever you want to share any of the following:
• Electronic theses or dissertations• Peer-reviewed journal articles*• Data sets*• Presentations, white papers, etc.
*Often required by funders with public access policies (compliance issue)
For Theses & Dissertations• Submit to Trace• If desired, request an embargo from the
Graduate School• Why an embargo?
• Chapter accepted as an article, not yet published
• Creative work that will be sent out for consideration as a book
For Funder Policies• Most federal funders require public access
to research resulting from grants they fund• Articles must be available in an open
repository (sometimes a specific one)• Data sets must be available in an open
repository (sometimes a specific one)
• Private funders, too
For Green Open Access• Gold OA
• Green OA / Delayed OA (12 month embargo)
• Find OA Journals that Follow Best Practices: doaj.org
Be Aware• You cannot make work public in Trace
unless your publication agreement allows• Not sure? Check Sherpa/RoMEO• Sometimes subject to an embargo period (delayed OA,
or green OA)• Deposit to Trace now, set embargo, no further action
needed
• You can negotiate your publication agreements to allow deposit to Trace
Benefits of Trace I• Items in Trace are indexed by Google
Scholar, making your work both findable and accessible
• More access = More views = More citations
Benefits of Trace II• Gives access to “potential users in
business, charitable and public sectors, and to the general public” (RCUK Policy on Open Access)
• Preservation in your institution’s library collection
Bigger Questions• Why don’t you own your own work?• Does a publisher need the copyright? No!• Can you retain your copyright? Yes!
• Retain select rights via a publication agreement amendment
• Offer a license to publish or a CC license• Some journals allow you to keep your ©
Notes to Researchers• Seek copyright permission for reuse of
figures, tables, and the like (2-4 months)• Citation is not enough• Exceptions at UT: SAGE, Wiley-Blackwell (if
figures were created by authors)
• For graduate students, much easier to go route of article chapter than chapter article (journal’s “right of first publication”)
Also…• Get an ORCID iD
• Use the ORCID search wizards to auto-populate your publications list
• On your publications list, add links to articles in Trace
