There are several ways to browse the repository, including by subject, by year, by publication type and by affiliated organisational unit (department, research group, series).</p> <p>To browse the repository either select Browse from the front page or from the navigation bar at the top of the screen. Then choose which property you wish to browse by eg. "subject".</p> <p>You will be presented with a list of possible values; select one of these and you will be given a list of references to documents in the repository (if any) that match this value. To access a paper, simply click on its reference in the display. </p> <p>On the abstract page, you should be able to see what subjects and affiliations are pertinent to the current document. Clicking on one of these will take you back to the appropriate browse view. </p> <a name="Searching"></a> <h2>Searching </h2> <p>The repository offers two levels of searching, simple and advanced. They are similar, but the advanced form lets you perform a finer-grained search using more fields. Access the simple search using the <a href="&perl_url;/search">More options</a> link on the front page, or using the navigation bar at the top of the screen. To perform an advanced search, use either the <a href="&perl_url;/advsearch">Advanced search</a> link on the front page, or at the top of the simple search page. </p> <h3>Text Search Fields </h3> <p>These are used to search fields like abstract or author. These are the fields where there is a text entry area, and a popup menu just to the right of it. Type your search terms into the box. You can decide how the system will use your search terms by selecting one of the options from the popup menu just to the right of the input box. For example, suppose that you have entered the search terms "patient care": </p> <table border="0" cellspacing="5"> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right" width="20%"><strong>Match all, in any order:</strong></td> <td class="p">The system will return records where <em>all</em> of the words "patient" and "care" appear in the relevant field(s).</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Match any:</strong></td> <td class="p">The system will return records where <em>at least one</em> of the words "patient" and "care" appear in the relevant field(s).</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Match as a phrase:</strong></td> <td class="p">In this case, the system will search for your terms appearing exactly as you type them. That is, the system will return records where <em>the exact phrase</em> "patient care" appears in the relevant field(s).</td> </tr> </table> <h3>Lists of Values </h3> <p>With these you can select one or more search values from a list. If no value in the list is selected, the system will ignore this field (i.e., it will retrieve records with any value of this field.) </p> <p>In cases where an individual record may have more than one value from the list, you can also change the search behaviour by selecting "Any of these" or "All of these" from the popup menu on the right of the list. </p> <table border="0" cellspacing="5"> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right" width="20%"><strong>Any of these:</strong></td> <td class="p">Records that have <em>at least one</em> of the values that you select will be retrieved.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>All of these:</strong></td> <td class="p">Only records that have <em>all</em> the values that you select will be retrieved.</td> </tr> </table> <h3>Years </h3> <p>When you're searching a year field, you can specify a single year or range of years that you're interested in, for example: </p> <table border="0" cellspacing="5"> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right" width="20%"><strong>1999</strong></td> <td class="p">retrieves only records where the year is '1999';</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>1987-1990</strong></td> <td class="p">retrieves records with years between 1987 and 1990 inclusive;</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>1995-</strong></td> <td class="p">retrieves records with years of 1995 or later;</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>-1998</strong></td> <td class="p">retrieves records with years up to and including 1998.</td> </tr> </table> <h3>Yes/No Fields </h3> <p>Some fields can have the value yes or no, for example the "Refereed" field. In this case, the search field lets you specify whether you want retrieved records to have the value yes or no for this field, or whether you have no preference, in which case the field isn't used to find records. </p> <a name="Registering"></a> <h2>Registering</h2> <p>Certain services require you to register with the system so that it can identify you, such as the <!-- NOT DONE YET!! subscription (alerting) and --> document depositing services. When you register with the system, you can register a username, email address and password which must be confirmed. The system will email you a confirmation URL to visit to enable the password.</p> <p>Before you can start uploading items, you need to <a href="&perl_url;/users/record">provide some personal details</a>; the registration e-mail will contain instruction on how to do this. The same form is used to change user details once registered. </p> <a name="Depositing"></a> <h2>Depositing Items</h2> <p>The first thing you'll need to do, after registering, is <a href="&perl_url;/users/record">fill out your user record</a>. This should happen automatically the first time that you enter the <a href="&userhome;">Registered Users Area</a>. You can also change your user details at any time by selecting the "View/change your user record" option in the <a href="&userhome;">Registered Users Area</a>. The user record form is described <a href="#UserRecord">below</a>. </p> <p>Once you've correctly filled out your user record, the registered users page will show a number of options and any any items that you are working on or have submitted but have not yet been approved by an editor. The options are <a href="#UserWorkspace">described below</a>. Note that the options and information that appear may vary slightly, depending on whether you are in the process of depositing any papers and whether you have any papers pending entry into the main repository. </p> <h3><a name="UserRecord">Your User Record </a></h3> <p>Your user record is used to hold contact information about you. Some of this information will be associated with eprints that you upload; some of it is purely for internal repository use. General information like your name, URL, address and e-mail address are public, so it's inadvisable to put down a home address. (Usually a postal address isn't required.) Information about your operating system is purely to help the repository administrators help you if you encounter problems. </p> <p>Enter the relevant information in the form. A red asterisk (<span class="requiredstar"></span>) indicates a required field that you must fill out before you can deposit papers in to the repository. </p> <p>Note that you cannot change your e-mail address here. This is deliberate; if you inadvertently enter an incorrect e-mail address, the site will have no way of contacting you. Instructions for changing your e-mail address can be found in the <a href="&userhome;">Registered Users Area</a>. </p> <p>Rather than clicking in each box before you enter something into it, you may find that your browser will let you use the tab key to move the cursor between the boxes, allowing you to enter the information much more quickly. </p> <p>When you've entered the relevant information, click on the <strong>Update Record</strong> button at the bottom of the form. If the form is filled out correctly, you'll be taken back to the <a href="&userhome;">Registered Users Area</a>. If there's a problem with the form, the form will be presented to you again with a description of what's wrong. Correct the error and click on <strong>Update Record</strong> again. </p> <h3>Managing Your Repository Items</h3> <p>At the top of the <a href="&userhome;">Registered Users Area</a>, you will see a section called "Manage Your Items". Here you can add new items, make copies of existing items, request the removal of items and check the status of your submitted items.</p> <p>To submit a new paper, select the option <strong>Begin a new item</strong>. This option will add a fresh, empty record to your undeposited items list and allow you to start editing it. Note that you can wait until later before completing the submission, and start on another paper. Submissions that you are in the process of uploading are kept in your undeposited items list. </p> <p>If there are papers in your undeposited items list, you will see a list of those papers with some options. The title of each paper you are uploading will be shown in the list, or its ID if you haven't yet given it a title. The options are described below:</p> <table border="0" cellspacing="5"> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Edit:</strong></td> <td class="p">If you select this option, you will be able to continue depositing the paper. </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Deposit:</strong></td> <td class="p">If you're satisfied that you've completed uploading the paper and associated information as you intended, then select this option to deposit the paper in the repository. Note that if there are problems with the paper (for instance, if a document file upload hasn't worked, or the associated bibliographic information is invalid), you will be told what is wrong, and you won't be able to deposit the paper until those problems are fixed. The depositing process is described in a <a href="#Process">following section</a>.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Use as template:</strong></td> <td class="p">This button makes a clone of the paper you have selected from the list. This is useful if you are depositing a number of papers with similar information. You can fill out the common information, clone that paper, and then edit the clones so you aren't entering the same information twice.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right" width="15%"><strong>Delete:</strong></td> <td class="p">If you select this option, the paper will be removed from your undeposited items list and discarded completely. You will be asked for confirmation first, so don't worry about accidentally clicking on it. Clones of any paper that you delete are unaffected.</td> </tr> </table> <p>The pending items list shows the items that are currently awaiting editorial review. When they are accepted into the repository, they will disappear from this list and appear for a time in the recently accepted items list.</p> <p>The <strong>Review your items in the repository</strong> option will give you a list of all your items that have been accepted into the repository. They are presented in a list similar to the undeposited items list, with the following options:</p> <table border="0" cellspacing="5"> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>New version:</strong></td> <td class="p">This option makes a copy of the item in your undeposited items list. Do this if you are going to submit an updated version of the item. Any attached files will also be copied.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Use as template:</strong></td> <td class="p">If you want to submit a <em>similar</em> item this option will create a new item in your undeposited items list using the current item as a template. This option will <em>not</em> link the new item to the old one. Any attached files will not be copied.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right" width="15%"><strong>Request removal:</strong></td> <td class="p">Request that the administrator remove this item from the repository.</td> </tr> </table> <a name="Process"></a> <h2>The Depositing Process </h2> <p>The depositing process is divided into a number of stages. You can move between these stages by using the <strong>Back</strong> and <strong>Next</strong> buttons at the bottom of each screen. This should be familiar to those accustomed to using the "wizard" style of interface popular on many modern operating systems. </p> <p>Don't worry about losing information you've entered when you press the <strong>Back</strong> button on a form: the system will store everything you've entered when you press it. However, you should <em>not</em> use your browser's "back" button when you are depositing papers. </p> <p>Each stage of the process is described in the following sections. </p> <h3>Deposit Type </h3> <p>In this screen, you should select the one option on the list that best describes your paper, for example "conference or workshop item" or "article". The option you choose here will affect what bibliographic information about your deposit the system will collect in later stages. </p> <p>After selecting the deposit type, click on the <strong>Next</strong> button. </p> <h3>Succession/Commentary </h3> <p>The repository can link together different versions of the same paper, as well as commentaries and responses to commentaries. These enable a reader to move easily around those versions, commentaries and responses. </p> <p>If the paper you are depositing is a later version of a paper you previously deposited in the repository, enter its ID code into the <strong>Later Version Of</strong> field. If you used the <strong>Use as template</strong> option on the <strong>Review Items</strong> page, then this box will have already been filled out for you, but it can be overwritten. </p> <p>To find the ID of a document, use the repository's <a href="&perl_url;/search">search feature</a> to find the item. You may wish to have a second browser window opened in which to perform this search, so that you can copy and paste the ID code across to this form. </p> <p>If you are depositing a commentary on a paper in the repository, enter its ID code in the <strong>Commentary On</strong> field. If you are responding to a commentary, enter the ID code of the commentary you are responding to in this field. </p> <p>You can make sure that you've entered the correct ID codes by clicking on the <strong>Verify ID's</strong> button. The system will then show you what papers the ID codes relate to, so you can ensure that you've entered the right codes. Note that the system will not let you proceed with the deposit if either ID code is invalid. </p> <p>You can of course leave either field empty if your paper is not a later version of another, a commentary or a response. Click on the <strong>Next</strong> button when you're sure the information you've entered is correct. </p> <p>Note that you cannot deposit a later version of a paper that has been submitted by someone else. </p> <h3>Bibliographic Information </h3> <p>Next you will be asked to enter bibliographic information about your paper. The exact details that are required will vary depending on the deposit type you selected in the first stage. </p> <p>Above each input field will be a short explanation of what should be entered into the field. To the left of each input field is the field name. If the field name has a ref asterisk (<span class="requiredstar"></span>), then the field must be filled out before the paper can be deposited; all other fields are optional. </p> <p>The following are the types of input field that you may see: </p> <table border="0" cellspacing="5"> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right" width="15%"><strong>Text boxes</strong></td> <td class="p">Fairly straightforward. Just type the relevant information in, or copy and paste directly from your document.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Popup menus</strong></td> <td class="p">Just select the most appropriate option from the popup menu.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Checkboxes</strong></td> <td class="p">Used to indicate a yes or no value.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Lists</strong></td> <td class="p">Select one or more appropriate options from the list.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Page ranges</strong></td> <td class="p">Type the first page in the range into the box on the left, and the last page in the box on the right. If the range consists of a single page, just enter the page number into the left-hand box, and leave the right-hand box empty.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="p" align="right"><strong>Names</strong></td> <td class="p">You can enter title, given name, family name and lineage. Title and lineage can be ignored if you wish. Sometimes you can enter a list of names. In these cases, you can add more boxes for names by clicking on the <strong>More Spaces</strong> button on the right. Note that empty boxes are ignored.<br /> To remove names from a list just remove the name from the relevant boxes and leave it empty. Don't worry about leaving a blank box in the middle of the list; the system will "bunch up" the list.</td> </tr> </table> <p>Once you've entered the requested information, click on the <strong>Next</strong> button. If there are any omissions from the data, the system will explain what is wrong and re-display the form so that you can fix the problems. </p> <p>As with user records, most browsers will allow you to use the tab key to move between the input fields, allowing you to enter the information quickly. </p> <h3>Affiliations and Subject Categories </h3> <p>In the affiliations stage, you should select all of the organisational unit(s) within the University with which your paper is associated. For example, if your paper was published in a departmental working papers series, you would add both your department and the working paper series as affiliations. If the paper was associated with a particular research group, you would add this as well. Add all the affiliations that are appropriate to your submission to ensure that it appears in the corresponding browse pages.</p> <p>In the subject categories stage, you should select the subject or subjects from the list that best represent the content of your paper. Please try and be as accurate as possible here, and please don't just select lots of categories if you're unsure, just pick the categories that you are sure of. </p> <!-- <p>If you think there's a serious omission from the subject category list, you can suggest a new category in the two boxes below the subject list. Note that you shouldn't expect the repository to necessarily agree with your suggestion; don't be offended if they don't add your suggestion. This box is there purely for you to suggest categories you really believe are serious omissions. </p> --> <p>Once you've selected your subject categories, click on the <strong>Next</strong> button. </p> <h3>Document Storage Formats </h3> <p>This stage allows you to upload files in various formats and attach them to your deposit. You may upload as many files as required, including none. However, if you upload no files, you should provide an explanation why in the <strong>Additional Information</strong> field (for example, the publisher may allow full text access only through their web site).</p> <p>Click the <strong>Add a Format to this Item</strong> button to start uploading files. You will be presented with a list of possible document formats; choose the one that most closely matches the physical format of the file that you are uploading (for example, if you are uploading the slides of a presentation in PDF format, select "PDF" rather than "Presentation"). If there is no entry for the file format that you want to upload, select "Other".</p> <p>You can enter a brief comment about the file format if you wish (this is mandatory if you select a format of "Other"). This is strongly encouraged if you select one of the "generic" formats, such as "Audio" or "Word processor", in order to further specify the exact file format (for example, "MP3 file" or "Microsoft Word").</p> <p>You can also control who is allowed to download attached files. Select the appropriate security level from the list and click <strong>Next</strong> to continue.</p> <!-- <p>This page shows you an overview of the document files you have uploaded to the repository. The table shows the list of formats that you have uploaded on the left, and the number of files you have uploaded in that format in the middle column. </p> <p>If you want to upload some files for a format, or remove some files you've already uploaded for a format, click on the relevant "Upload/Edit" button. When you do this, you'll be presented with the "Document file upload" screen described in the next section. </p> <p>To remove all of the files for a format completely, click on the relevant "Remove" button. </p> <p>Note that you must upload files for at least one of the formats shown in bold type. </p> <p>The "Other" format allows you to upload the document in any other format you think may be useful. For example, you may wish to upload a Microsoft Word document. </p> <p>When you're happy that you've uploaded all of the document files, click on the "Finished" button. Later, you'll have a chance to make sure that the uploads have all worked, and to come back and fix anything that's amiss. </p> <p>Once you've clicked the "finished" button on this page, you'll be taken to the "Deposit Verification" page described in a later section. </p> --> <h3>Document File Upload </h3> <p>You will now be presented with an upload page from which you can select how you'd like to upload files to the repository.</p> <h4>Single file</h4> <p>Choose this option if you want to upload a single file from your computer as-is. For example, if you have a PDF file on your hard disk, you would choose this option. If you have to upload more than one file using this method (for instance, an HTML file and a corresponding .gif figure image file,) then type the number of files you wish to upload into the "Number of files to upload" box. From an existing Web site. </p> <p>If your paper is up on the Web already, this option will let you specify the URL of that paper. The repository software will copy your paper from that Web site. You should be careful with this option, though; and read the "uploading from an existing Web site" section below. As a ZIP archive/Compressed TAR archive. </p> <p>Your paper may be stored in several separate files. This is often the case if your paper is stored in HTML format and contains figures. These two options let you use the ZIP tool (available on all operating systems) or the "tar" and "compress" tools (commonly used on UNIX systems) to collect all of those files into one compacted file. Now click on the "Upload" button. </p> <p>If you selected "plain files" or are uploading a compressed file, you will be presented with a screen where you can either type in the full filename and path of the document file or compressed file into the text field, or (recommended) click on the "Browse..." button, and select the relevant file using the file selector1. If you're uploading more than one file, there will be a corresponding number of these fields to fill out. </p> <p>If you selected "from an existing Web site," enter the full URL of the first page of the actual document; don't just enter the URL of the Web site the document appears in or the URL of an index or contents page. See the section "uploading from an existing Web site" below. </p> <p>When you've entered the filenames or URLs, click on the "Upload" button. You'll then be taken back to the "Document File Upload" screen.</p> <p>At least one file needs to be shown first. In many cases (e.g. PDF, Postscript) there will only be one file; if you've uploaded many files you will need to select the one to be shown first. This should be the first file in the document that a reader should be presented with; the .html file if your document is in HTML format, or the contents page if your document is spread over several uploaded several HTML documents. Use the "Show First" button to tell the system which file should be shown first. </p> <p>The "Delete" buttons on the right of the table can be used to remove individual files that you've uploaded in error. "Delete all files" will wipe the slate clean (for this document storage format only) so you can start again. </p> <p>You can continue to upload more files as before. If you've uploaded all necessary files, click on "Finished". This will take you back to the "Document Storage Format" page. </p> <h4>Uploading From an Existing Web Site </h4> <p>When you give the repository a URL to retrieve your document from, the repository stores a copy of the file stored at that URL. If the URL is an HTML file, the repository will also copy the images associated with that HTML file, and other HTML files linked to it. </p> <p>You must supply the URL of the first page of document itself: NOT the URL of the whole Web site, or the URL of any contents page listing multiple documents, index page or abstract page. </p> <p>http://www.myinstitution.edu/~myhomepage/paper.html And NOT www.myinstitution.edu/~myhomepage/</p> <p>In order to prevent the repository from trying to copy the whole World Wide Web by following every single link, some rules are applied when the system collects your document: </p> <p>Only files reached by "relative" links are retrieved. For example, if the HTML contains a link to node1.html then node1.html will be copied. If the link points to http://somewebsite.edu/bar.html, then that URL will not be copied. </p> <p>Only files at the same depth or deeper in the Web site file hierachy are retrieved. For example, if a link points to /index.html or ../index.html, the file will not be copied. </p> <p>This method of uploading papers cannot have a guaranteed 100% success rate. However we have been using it here at Southampton for a number of months and it usually works very well. </p> <p>If something does go wrong, it's normally best to select "delete all files" from the "Document File Upload" screen, and try another uploading method. </p> <h4>Deposit Verification </h4> <p>This page will display the abstract page for your document as it will appear in the repository. You should carefully check that all information has been uploaded correctly. Note that your paper will not appear in the "available versions" or "commentary/response" lists at the bottom of the page; this is normal. </p> <p>You should also check that the document files have been uploaded correctly, including any associated figures and links. If you spot a mistake, you can use forms' "back" buttons (not the browser's "back" button) to cycle back through the depositing process and fix any mistakes. </p> <p>If you're satisfied that everything is correct and has been uploaded correctly, and have read, understood and complied with the agreement at the bottom of the page, click on the "Deposit" button to deposit your paper in the repository. It will then be put in the editorial buffer. </p> </ep:body> </ep:page> <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?> <!DOCTYPE page SYSTEM "entities-en.dtd" > <ep:page xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ep="http://eprints.org/ep2/page"> <ep:title>&archivename; User Documentation</ep:title> <ep:body> <ul> <li><a href="#Browsing">Browsing</a></li> <li><a href="#Searching">Searching</a></li> <ul> <li>Text Search Fields</li> <li>Lists of Values</li> <li>Yes/No Fields </li> </ul> <li><a href="#Registering">Registering</a></li> <li><a href="#Depositing">Depositing Records</a></li> <ul> <li>Your User Record</li> <li>Your Workspace</li> </ul> <li><a href="#Process">Depositing Process</a> </li> <ul> <li>Deposit Type</li> <li>Succession/Commentary </li> <li>Bibliographic Information </li> <li>Subject Categories </li> <li>Document File Upload </li> </ul> </ul> <a name="Browsing"></a> <h2>Browsing </h2> <p>Browsing is a good way to access documents if you don't have a specific idea of what you're looking for. There are several ways to browse the repository, including by subject and by year.</p> <p>To browse the repository either select Browse from the front page or from the navigation bar at the top of the screen. Then choose which property you wish to browse by eg. "subject".</p> <p>You will be presented with a list of possible values, select one of these, and you will be given a list of references to documents in the repository (if any) which match this value. To access a paper, simply click on its reference in the display. </p> <p>On the abstract page, you should be able to see what subjects are pertinent to the current document. Clicking on one of those subjects will take you back to the relevant browse by subject view. </p> <a name="Searching"></a> <h2>Searching </h2> <p>The repository offers two levels of searching, simple and advanced. They are similar, but the advanced form lets you perform a finer-grained search using more fields. Access the simple search using the Search the Repository link on the front page, or using the navigation bar at the top of the screen. To perform an advanced search, use the advanced search link at the top of the simple search page. </p> <h3>Text Search Fields </h3> <p>These are used to search fields like abstract or author. These are the fields where there is a text entry area, and a popup menu just to the right of it. Type your search terms into the box. You can decide how the system will use your search terms by selecting one of the options from the popup menu just to the right of the input box.</p> <dl> <dt><h4>Match all, in any order. </h4></dt> <dd><p>In the example shown, the system will search for records in which any of the title, abstract or keywords fields contain both the word "patient" and "care". </p></dd> <dt><h4>Match any. </h4></dt> <dd><p>In the example shown, the system will search for any record with either the term "patient" or "care," in any of the title, abstract or keywords fields.</p></dd> <dt><h4>Match as a phrase. </h4></dt> <dd><p>In this case, the system will search for your terms appearing exactly as you type them. In the example, the system will return any record with the phrase "patient care" appearing in the title, abstract or keywords. </p></dd> </dl> <h3>Lists of Values </h3> <p>With these you can select one or more values from a list of values for the system to search for. If no value in the list is selected, the system will ignore this field (i.e. it will retrieve records with any value of this field.) </p> <p>In cases where each individual record may have more than one value attached to the list, you can also change search behaviour by selecting "Any of these" or "All of these" from the popup menu on the right of the list. </p> <dl> <dt><h4>Any of these. </h4></dt> <dd><p>If this is selected, any record which has any of the values you select will be retrieved. </p></dd> <dt><h4>All of these. </h4></dt> <dd><p>If you select this option, a record must have all the values you choose associated with it to be retrieved. </p></dd> </dl> <h3>Years </h3> <p>When you're searching a year field, you can specify a single year or range of years that you're interested in: </p> <dl> <dt>1999</dt> <dd>retrieves only records where the year is `1999'; </dd> <dt>1987-1990</dt> <dd>retrieves records with years between 1987 and 1990 inclusive; </dd> <dt>1995- </dt> <dd>retrieves records with years of 1995 or later; </dd> <dt>-1998</dt> <dd>retrieves records with years up to and including 1998. </dd> </dl> <h3>Yes/No Fields </h3> <p>Some fields can have the value yes or no, for example the "Refereed" field. In this case, the search field lets you specify whether you want retrieved records to have the value yes or no for this field, or whether you have no preference, in which case the field isn't used to find records. </p> <a name="Registering"></a> <h2>Registering</h2> <p>Certain services require you to register with the system so that it can identify you, such as the <!-- NOT DONE YET!! subscription (alerting) and --> document depositing services. When you register with the system, you can register a username, email address and password which must be confirmed. The system will email you a confirmation URL to visit to enable the password.</p> <p>Before you can start uploading items, you need to fill out some personal details into a form (<a href="&perl_url;/users/record">&perl_url;/users/record</a>), the registration e-mail will contain instruction on how to do this. This same form is used to change user details once registered. </p> <a name="Depositing"></a> <h2>Depositing Records</h2> <p>The first thing you'll need to do, after registering, is fill out your user record using the form at <a href="&perl_url;/users/record">&perl_url;/users/record</a>. When you click on "Deposit Papers," you'll see an option saying "View/change your user record": Select this option. The user record form is described below. </p> <p>Once you've correctly filled out your user record, the "Deposit Papers" page will show a number of options and any any items you are working on or have submitted but are not yet approved by an editor. The options are described below. Note that the options and information that appear may vary slightly, depending on whether you are in the process of depositing any papers and whether you have any papers pending entry into the main repository. </p> <h3>Your User Record </h3> <p>Your user record is used to hold contact information about you. Some of this information will be associated with eprints you upload; some of it is purely for internal repository use. General information like your name, URL, address and e-mail address are public, so it's inadvisable to put down a home address. (Usually a postal address isn't required.) Information about your operating system is purely to help the repository administrators help you if you encouter problems. </p> <p>Enter the relevant information in the form. Those boxes where the field name (on the left of the box) has an asterisk are required fields that you must fill out before you can deposit papers in to the repository. </p> <p>Note that you cannot change your e-mail address here. This is deliberate; if you inadvertently enter an incorrect e-mail address, the site will have no way of contacting you. Instructions for changing your e-mail address can be found on the "Registered Users Area". </p> <p>Rather than clicking in each box before you enter something into it, you may find that your browser will let you use the tab key to move the cursor between the boxes. In this way you can enter the information much more quickly. </p> <p>When you've entered the relevant information, click on the "Update Record" button at the bottom of the form. If the form is filled out correctly, you'll be taken back to the "Deposit Papers" page. If there's a problem with the form, the form will be presented to you again with a description of what's wrong. Correct the error and click on "Update Record" again. </p> <h3>Your Workspace </h3> <p>If you start uploading a paper, you can decide that you wish to wait until later before completing the upload, and you can start on another paper. Papers that you are in the process of uploading are in your workspace. </p> <p>If your workspace is empty, which will be the case when you first visit the page, you will see a button "Click here to start uploading a document." This button will add a fresh, empty record to your workspace and allow you to start editing it. </p> <p>If there are papers in your workspace, you will see a list of those papers with some option buttons. The title of each paper you are uploading will be shown in the list, or its ID if you haven't yet given it a title. The option buttons are described below:</p> <dl> <dt><h4>Delete </h4></dt> <dd><p>If you select a paper and click on this button, that paper will be removed from your workspace and discarded completely. You will be asked for confirmation first, so don't worry about accidentally clicking on it. Clones of any paper you delete are unaffected. </p></dd> <dt><h4>Edit </h4></dt> <dd><p>If you select a paper in your workspace and click this button, you will be able to carry on depositing that paper. </p></dd> <dt><h4>Deposit </h4></dt> <dd><p>If you're satisfied that you've completed uploading the paper and associated information as you had intended, then you can select the paper and click on this button to deposit the paper in the repository. Note that if there are problems with the paper (for instance, if a document file upload hasn't worked, or the associated bibliographic information is invalid), you will be told what is wrong, and you won't be able to deposit the paper until those problems are fixed. </p> <p>The depositing process is described in a following section. </p></dd> <dt><h4>New </h4></dt> <dd><p>This button creates a fresh record and starts the depositing process. </p></dd> <dt><h4>Clone </h4></dt> <dd><p>This button makes a clone of the paper you have selected from the list. This is useful if you are depositing a number of papers with similar information. You can fill out the common information, clone that paper, and then edit the clones so you aren't entering the same information twice. </p></dd> </dl> <a name="Process"></a> <h2>The Depositing Process </h2> <p>The depositing process is divided into a number of stages. You can move between these stages by using the "Back" and "Next" buttons at the bottom of each screen. This should be familiar to those accustomed to using the "wizard" style of interface popular on many modern operating systems. </p> <p>Don't worry about losing information you've entered when you press the "Back" button on a form: The system will store everything you've entered when you press it. However, you should not use your browser's "back" button when you are depositing papers. </p> <p>Each stage of the process is described in the following sections. </p> <h3>Deposit Type </h3> <p>In this screen, you should select the one option on the list that best described your paper, for example "conference paper" or "journal paper (paginated)." The option you choose here will affect what bibliographic information about your deposit the system will collect in later stages. </p> <p>Then click on the "Next" button. </p> <h3>Succession/Commentary </h3> <p>The repository can link together different versions of the same paper, as well as commentaries and responses to commentaries. These enable a reader to move easily around those versions, commentaries and responses. </p> <p>If the paper you are depositing is a later version of a paper you previously deposited in the repository, enter its ID code into the "Later Version Of" box. If you used the "Clone" option on the "Review Documents" page, then this box will have already been filled out for you, but can be overwritten. </p> <p>To find the ID of a document, use the repository's Search feature to find the repository. You may wish to have a second browser window opened in which to perform this search, so that you can copy and paste the ID code across to this form. </p> <p>If you are depositing a commentary on a paper in the repository, enter its ID code in the "Commentary On" box. If you are responding to a commentary, enter the ID code of the commentary you are responding to in this box. </p> <p>You can make sure that you've entered the correct ID codes by clicking on the "Verify IDs" button at the bottom of the page. The system will then show you what papers the ID codes pertain to, so you can make sure you've entered the right codes. Note that the system will not let you proceed with the deposit if either ID code you enter is invalid. </p> <p>You can of course leave either box empty if your paper is not a later version of another, a commentary or a response. Click on the "Next" button when you're sure the information you've entered is correct. </p> <p>Note that you cannot deposit a later version of a paper that has been submitted by someone else. </p> <h3>Bibliographic Information </h3> <p>Next you will be asked to enter bibliographic information about your paper. The exact details that are required will vary depending on the deposit type you selected in the first stage. </p> <p>Above each input field will be a short explanation of what should be put in the field. To the left of each input field is the field name. If the field name has an asterisk, the field must be filled out before the paper can be deposited; other fields are optional. </p> <p>The following are the types of input field you may see: </p> <dl> <dt><h4>Text boxes. </h4></dt> <dd><p>Fairly straightforward. Just type the relevant information in, or copy and paste direct from your document. </p></dd> <dt><h4>Popup menus. </h4></dt> <dd><p>Just select the most appropriate option from the popup menu. </p></dd> <dt><h4>Checkboxes. </h4></dt> <dd><p>Used to indicate a yes or no value. </p></dd> <dt><h4>Lists. </h4></dt> <dd><p>Select one or more appropriate options from the list. </p></dd> <dt><h4>Page ranges. </h4></dt> <dd><p>Type the first page in the range into the box on the left, and the last page in the box on the right. If the range consists of a single page, just enter the page number into the left-hand box, and leave the right-hand box empty. </p></dd> <dt><h4>Names. </h4></dt> <dd><p>You can enter title, given name, family name and lineage. Title and lineage can be ignored if you wish. Sometimes you can enter a list of names. In these cases, you can add more boxes for names by clicking on the "More Spaces" button on the right. Note that empty boxes are ignored. </p> <p>To remove names from a list just remove the name from the relevant boxes and leave it empty. Don't worry about leaving a blank box in the middle of the list; the system will "bunch up" the list. </p></dd> </dl> <p>Once you've entered the relevant information, click on the "Next" button. If there are any omissions from the data, the system will explain what is wrong and re-present the form so you can fix the problems. </p> <p>As with user records, most browsers will allow you to use the tab key to move between the input fields, allowing you to enter the information quickly. </p> <h3>Addiliations and Subject Categories </h3> <p>In the affiliations stage, you should select the organisational unit(s) within the University that your paper is associated. For example, if your paper was published in a departmental working papers series, you would add both your department and the working paper series as affiliations. If the paper was associated with a particular research group, you would add this as well. Add all the affiliations that are appropriate to your submission to ensure that it appears in the corresponding browse pages.</p> <p>In the subject categories stage, you should select the subject or subjects from the list that best represent the content of your paper. Please try and be as accurate as possible here, and please don't just select lots of categories if you're unsure, just pick the categories you are sure of. </p> <p>If you think there's a serious omission from the subject category list, you can suggest a new category in the two boxes below the subject list. Note that you shouldn't expect the repository to necessarily agree with your suggestion; don't be offended if they don't add your suggestion. This box is there purely for you to suggest categories you really believe are serious omissions. </p> <p>Once you've selected your subject categories, click on the "Next" button. </p> <h3>Document Storage Formats </h3> <p>This page shows you an overview of the document files you have uploaded to the repository. The table shows the list of formats you can upload on the left, and the number of files you have uploaded in that format in the middle column. </p> <p>If you want to upload some files for a format, or remove some files you've already uploaded for a format, click on the relevant "Upload/Edit" button. When you do this, you'll be presented with the "Document file upload" screen described in the next section. </p> <p>To remove all of the files for a format completely, click on the relevant "Remove" button. </p> <p>Note that you must upload files for at least one of the formats shown in bold type. </p> <p>The "Other" format allows you to upload the document in any other format you think may be useful. For example, you may wish to upload a Microsoft Word document. </p> <p>When you're happy that you've uploaded all of the document files, click on the "Finished" button. Later, you'll have a chance to make sure that the uploads have all worked, and to come back and fix anything that's amiss. </p> <p>Once you've clicked the "finished" button on this page, you'll be taken to the "Deposit Verification" page described in a later section. </p> <h3>Document File Upload </h3> <p>If there are no files uploaded in a particular format, you will be presented with an upload menu from here you can select how you'd like to upload files to the repository.</p> <h4>Plain files</h4> <p>Choose this option if you want to upload files you have on your computer as-is. For example, if you have a PDF file on your hard disk, you would choose this option. If you have to upload more than one file using this method (for instance, an HTML file and a corresponding .gif figure image file,) then type the number of files you wish to upload into the "Number of files to upload" box. From an existing Web site. </p> <p>If your paper is up on the Web already, this option will let you specify the URL of that paper. The repository software will copy your paper from that Web site. You should be careful with this option, though; and read the "uploading from an existing Web site" section below. As a ZIP archive/Compressed TAR archive. </p> <p>Your paper may be stored in several separate files. This is often the case if your paper is stored in HTML format and contains figures. These two options let you use the ZIP tool (available on all operating systems) or the "tar" and "compress" tools (commonly used on UNIX systems) to collect all of those files into one compacted file. Now click on the "Upload" button. </p> <p>If you selected "plain files" or are uploading a compressed file, you will be presented with a screen where you can either type in the full filename and path of the document file or compressed file into the text field, or (recommended) click on the "Browse..." button, and select the relevant file using the file selector1. If you're uploading more than one file, there will be a corresponding number of these fields to fill out. </p> <p>If you selected "from an existing Web site," enter the full URL of the first page of the actual document; don't just enter the URL of the Web site the document appears in or the URL of an index or contents page. See the section "uploading from an existing Web site" below. </p> <p>When you've entered the filenames or URLs, click on the "Upload" button. You'll then be taken back to the "Document File Upload" screen.</p> <p>At least one file needs to be shown first. In many cases (e.g. PDF, Postscript) there will only be one file; if you've uploaded many files you will need to select the one to be shown first. This should be the first file in the document that a reader should be presented with; the .html file if your document is in HTML format, or the contents page if your document is spread over several uploaded several HTML documents. Use the "Show First" button to tell the system which file should be shown first. </p> <p>The "Delete" buttons on the right of the table can be used to remove individual files that you've uploaded in error. "Delete all files" will wipe the slate clean (for this document storage format only) so you can start again. </p> <p>You can continue to upload more files as before. If you've uploaded all necessary files, click on "Finished". This will take you back to the "Document Storage Format" page. </p> <h4>Uploading From an Existing Web Site </h4> <p>When you give the repository a URL to retrieve your document from, the repository stores a copy of the file stored at that URL. If the URL is an HTML file, the repository will also copy the images associated with that HTML file, and other HTML files linked to it. </p> <p>You must supply the URL of the first page of document itself: NOT the URL of the whole Web site, or the URL of any contents page listing multiple documents, index page or abstract page. </p> <p>http://www.myinstitution.edu/~myhomepage/paper.html And NOT www.myinstitution.edu/~myhomepage/</p> <p>In order to prevent the repository from trying to copy the whole World Wide Web by following every single link, some rules are applied when the system collects your document: </p> <p>Only files reached by "relative" links are retrieved. For example, if the HTML contains a link to node1.html then node1.html will be copied. If the link points to http://somewebsite.edu/bar.html, then that URL will not be copied. </p> <p>Only files at the same depth or deeper in the Web site file hierachy are retrieved. For example, if a link points to /index.html or ../index.html, the file will not be copied. </p> <p>This method of uploading papers cannot have a guaranteed 100% success rate. However we have been using it here at Southampton for a number of months and it usually works very well. </p> <p>If something does go wrong, it's normally best to select "delete all files" from the "Document File Upload" screen, and try another uploading method. </p> <h4>Deposit Verification </h4> <p>This page will display the abstract page for your document as it will appear in the repository. You should carefully check that all information has been uploaded correctly. Note that your paper will not appear in the "available versions" or "commentary/response" lists at the bottom of the page; this is normal. </p> <p>You should also check that the document files have been uploaded correctly, including any associated figures and links. If you spot a mistake, you can use forms' "back" buttons (not the browser's "back" button) to cycle back through the depositing process and fix any mistakes. </p> <p>If you're satisfied that everything is correct and has been uploaded correctly, and have read, understood and complied with the agreement at the bottom of the page, click on the "Deposit" button to deposit your paper in the repository. It will then be put in the editorial buffer. </p> </ep:body> </ep:page>

<a name="Browsing"></a> 
<h2>Browsing </h2>
<p>Browsing is a good way to access documents if you don't have a
specific idea of what you're looking for. There are several ways to
browse the repository, including by subject, by year, by publication
type and by affiliated organisational unit (department, research group,
series).</p>

<p>To browse the repository either select Browse from the front page or
from the navigation bar at the top of the screen. Then choose which property
you wish to browse by eg. "subject".</p>

<p>You will be presented with a list of possible values; select one of
these and you will be given a list of references to documents in the
repository (if any) that match this value. To access a paper, simply
click on its reference in the display. </p>

<p>On the abstract page, you should be able to see what subjects and
affiliations are pertinent to the current document. Clicking on one of
these will take you back to the appropriate browse view. </p>

<a name="Searching"></a> <h2>Searching </h2> <p>The repository offers
two levels of searching, simple and advanced. They are similar, but the
advanced form lets you perform a finer-grained search using more fields.
Access the simple search using the <a href="&perl_url;/search">More
options</a> link on the front page, or using the navigation bar at the
top of the screen. To perform an advanced search, use either the <a
href="&perl_url;/advsearch">Advanced search</a> link on the front page,
or at the top of the simple search page. </p>

<h3>Text Search Fields </h3>
<p>These are used to search fields like abstract or author. These are
the fields where there is a text entry area, and a popup menu just to
the right of it. Type your search terms into the box. You can decide how
the system will use your search terms by selecting one of the options
from the popup menu just to the right of the input box. For example,
suppose that you have entered the search terms "patient care": </p>

<table border="0" cellspacing="5">
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right" width="20%"><strong>Match all, in any order:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">The system will return records where <em>all</em> of the words
"patient" and "care" appear in the relevant field(s).</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Match any:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">The system will return records where <em>at least one</em> of the
words "patient" and "care" appear in the relevant field(s).</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Match as a phrase:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">In this case, the system will search for your terms appearing
exactly as you type them. That is, the system will return records where
<em>the exact phrase</em> "patient care" appears in the relevant
field(s).</td>
	</tr>
</table>

<h3>Lists of Values </h3>
<p>With these you can select one or more search values from a list. If
no value in the list is selected, the system will ignore this field
(i.e., it will retrieve records with any value of this field.) </p>

<p>In cases where an individual record may have more than one value
from the list, you can also change the search behaviour by selecting
"Any of these" or "All of these" from the popup menu on the right of
the list. </p>

<table border="0" cellspacing="5">
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right" width="20%"><strong>Any of these:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">Records that have <em>at least one</em> of the values that you
select will be retrieved.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>All of these:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">Only records that have <em>all</em> the values that you select
will be retrieved.</td>
	</tr>
</table>

<h3>Years </h3>
<p>When you're searching a year field, you can specify a single year or
range of years that you're interested in, for example: </p>

<table border="0" cellspacing="5">
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right" width="20%"><strong>1999</strong></td>
		<td class="p">retrieves only records where the year is '1999';</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>1987-1990</strong></td>
		<td class="p">retrieves records with years between 1987 and 1990 inclusive;</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>1995-</strong></td>
		<td class="p">retrieves records with years of 1995 or later;</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>-1998</strong></td>
		<td class="p">retrieves records with years up to and including 1998.</td>
	</tr>
</table>

<h3>Yes/No Fields </h3>
<p>Some fields can have the value yes or no, for example the "Refereed"
field. In this case, the search field lets you specify whether you want
retrieved records to have the value yes or no for this field, or whether
you have no preference, in which case the field isn't used to find
records. </p>

<a name="Registering"></a> 
<h2>Registering</h2>

<p>Certain services require you to register with the system so that it
can identify you, such as the  document depositing services. When you register with
the system, you can register a username, email address and password
which must be confirmed. The system will email you a confirmation URL to
visit to enable the password.</p> <p>Before you can start uploading
items, you need to <a href="&perl_url;/users/record">provide some
personal details</a>; the registration e-mail will contain instruction
on how to do this. The same form is used to change user details once
registered. </p>

<a name="Depositing"></a> 
<h2>Depositing Items</h2>

<p>The first thing you'll need to do, after registering, is <a
href="&perl_url;/users/record">fill out your user record</a>. This
should happen automatically the first time that you enter the <a
href="&userhome;">Registered Users Area</a>. You can also change your
user details at any time by selecting the "View/change your user record"
option in the <a href="&userhome;">Registered Users Area</a>. The user
record form is described <a href="#UserRecord">below</a>. </p>

<p>Once you've correctly filled out your user record, the registered
users page will show a number of options and any any items that you are
working on or have submitted but have not yet been approved by an
editor. The options are <a href="#UserWorkspace">described below</a>.
Note that the options and information that appear may vary slightly,
depending on whether you are in the process of depositing any papers and
whether you have any papers pending entry into the main repository. </p>

<h3><a name="UserRecord">Your User Record </a></h3>

<p>Your user record is used to hold contact information about you. Some of
this information will be associated with eprints that you upload; some of it is
purely for internal repository use. General information like your name, URL,
address and e-mail address are public, so it's inadvisable to put down a
home address. (Usually a postal address isn't required.) Information about
your operating system is purely to help the repository administrators help
you if you encounter problems. </p>

<p>Enter the relevant information in the form. A red asterisk (<span
class="requiredstar">*</span>) indicates a required field that you must
fill out before you can deposit papers in to the repository. </p>

<p>Note that you cannot change your e-mail address here. This is
deliberate; if you inadvertently enter an incorrect e-mail address, the
site will have no way of contacting you. Instructions for changing your
e-mail address can be found in the <a href="&userhome;">Registered Users
Area</a>. </p>

<p>Rather than clicking in each box before you enter something into it,
you may find that your browser will let you use the tab key to move the
cursor between the boxes, allowing you to enter the information much
more quickly. </p>

<p>When you've entered the relevant information, click on the
<strong>Update Record</strong> button at the bottom of the form. If the
form is filled out correctly, you'll be taken back to the <a
href="&userhome;">Registered Users Area</a>. If there's a problem with
the form, the form will be presented to you again with a description of
what's wrong. Correct the error and click on <strong>Update
Record</strong> again. </p>

<h3>Managing Your Repository Items</h3>

<p>At the top of the <a href="&userhome;">Registered Users Area</a>, you
will see a section called "Manage Your Items". Here you can add new
items, make copies of existing items, request the removal of items and
check the status of your submitted items.</p>

<p>To submit a new paper, select the option <strong>Begin a new
item</strong>. This option will add a fresh, empty record to your
undeposited items list and allow you to start editing it. Note that you
can wait until later before completing the submission, and start on
another paper. Submissions that you are in the process of uploading are
kept in your undeposited items list. </p>

<p>If there are papers in your undeposited items list, you will see a
list of those papers with some options. The title of each paper
you are uploading will be shown in the list, or its ID if you haven't
yet given it a title. The options are described below:</p>

<table border="0" cellspacing="5">
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Edit:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">If you select this option, you will be able to continue
		depositing the paper. </td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Deposit:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">If you're satisfied that you've completed uploading the
		paper and associated information as you intended, then select
		this option to deposit the paper in the repository. Note that if
		there are problems with the paper (for instance, if a document
		file upload hasn't worked, or the associated bibliographic
		information is invalid), you will be told what is wrong, and you
		won't be able to deposit the paper until those problems are
		fixed. The depositing process is described in a <a
		href="#Process">following section</a>.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Use as template:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">This button makes a clone of the paper you have selected
		from the list. This is useful if you are depositing a number of
		papers with similar information. You can fill out the common
		information, clone that paper, and then edit the clones so you
		aren't entering the same information twice.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right" width="15%"><strong>Delete:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">If you select this option, the paper will be removed from
		your undeposited items list and discarded completely. You will
		be asked for confirmation first, so don't worry about
		accidentally clicking on it. Clones of any paper that you delete
		are unaffected.</td>
	</tr>
</table>

<p>The pending items list shows the items that are currently awaiting
editorial review. When they are accepted into the repository, they will
disappear from this list and appear for a time in the recently accepted
items list.</p>

<p>The <strong>Review your items in the repository</strong> option will
give you a list of all your items that have been accepted into the
repository. They are presented in a list similar to the undeposited
items list, with the following options:</p>

<table border="0" cellspacing="5">
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>New version:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">This option makes a copy of the item in your undeposited

		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Use as template:</strong></td>
		<td class="p">If you want to submit a <em>similar</em> item this option
		will create a new item in your undeposited items list using the

<a name="Process"></a> 
<h2>The Depositing Process </h2>

<p>The depositing process is divided into a number of stages. You can
move between these stages by using the <strong>Back</strong> and
<strong>Next</strong> buttons at the bottom of each screen. This should
be familiar to those accustomed to using the "wizard" style of interface
popular on many modern operating systems. </p>

<p>Don't worry about losing information you've entered when you press
the <strong>Back</strong> button on a form: the system will store
everything you've entered when you press it. However, you should
<em>not</em> use your browser's "back" button when you are depositing
papers. </p>

<p>Each stage of the process is described in the following sections. </p>

<h3>Deposit Type </h3>

<p>In this screen, you should select the one option on the list that
best describes your paper, for example "conference or workshop item" or
"article". The option you choose here will affect what bibliographic
information about your deposit the system will collect in later stages.
</p>

<p>After selecting the deposit type, click on the <strong>Next</strong>
button. </p>

<h3>Succession/Commentary </h3>

<p>The repository can link together different versions of the same
paper, as well as commentaries and responses to commentaries. These
enable a reader to move easily around those versions, commentaries and
responses. </p>

<p>If the paper you are depositing is a later version of a paper you
previously deposited in the repository, enter its ID code into the
<strong>Later Version Of</strong> field. If you used the <strong>Use as
template</strong> option on the <strong>Review Items</strong> page, then
this box will have already been filled out for you, but it can be
overwritten. </p>

<p>To find the ID of a document, use the repository's <a
href="&amp;perl_url;/search">search feature</a> to find the item. You
may wish to have a second browser window opened in which to perform this
search, so that you can copy and paste the ID code across to this form.
</p>

<p>If you are depositing a commentary on a paper in the repository,
enter its ID code in the <strong>Commentary On</strong> field. If you
are responding to a commentary, enter the ID code of the commentary you
are responding to in this field. </p>

<p>You can make sure that you've entered the correct ID codes by
clicking on the <strong>Verify ID's</strong> button. The system will
then show you what papers the ID codes relate to, so you can ensure that
you've entered the right codes. Note that the system will not let you
proceed with the deposit if either ID code is invalid. </p>

<p>You can of course leave either field empty if your paper is not a
later version of another, a commentary or a response. Click on the
<strong>Next</strong> button when you're sure the information you've
entered is correct. </p>

<p>Note that you cannot deposit a later version of a paper that has been
submitted by someone else. </p>

<h3>Bibliographic Information </h3>

<p>Next you will be asked to enter bibliographic information about your
paper. The exact details that are required will vary depending on the
deposit type you selected in the first stage. </p>

<p>Above each input field will be a short explanation of what should be
entered into the field. To the left of each input field is the field
name. If the field name has a ref asterisk (<span
class="requiredstar">*</span>), then the field must be filled out before
the paper can be deposited; all other fields are optional. </p>

<p>The following are the types of input field that you may see: </p>

<table border="0" cellspacing="5">
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right" width="15%"><strong>Text boxes</strong></td>
		<td class="p">Fairly straightforward. Just type the relevant
		information in, or copy and paste directly from your
		document.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Popup menus</strong></td>
		<td class="p">Just select the most appropriate option from the
		popup menu.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Checkboxes</strong></td>
		<td class="p">Used to indicate a yes or no value.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Lists</strong></td>
		<td class="p">Select one or more appropriate options from the list.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Page ranges</strong></td>
		<td class="p">Type the first page in the range into the box on
		the left, and the last page in the box on the right. If the
		range consists of a single page, just enter the page number into
		the left-hand box, and leave the right-hand box empty.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr valign="top">
		<td class="p" align="right"><strong>Names</strong></td>
		<td class="p">You can enter title, given name, family name and
		lineage. Title and lineage can be ignored if you wish. Sometimes
		you can enter a list of names. In these cases, you can add more
		boxes for names by clicking on the <strong>More Spaces</strong>
		button on the right. Note that empty boxes are ignored.<br />
		To remove names from a list just remove the name from the
		relevant boxes and leave it empty. Don't worry about leaving a
		blank box in the middle of the list; the system will "bunch up"
		the list.</td>
	</tr>
</table>

<p>Once you've entered the requested information, click on the
<strong>Next</strong> button. If there are any omissions from the data,
the system will explain what is wrong and re-display the form so that
you can fix the problems. </p>

<p>As with user records, most browsers will allow you to use the tab key
to move between the input fields, allowing you to enter the information
quickly. </p>

<h3>Affiliations and Subject Categories </h3>

<p>In the affiliations stage, you should select all of the
organisational unit(s) within the University with which your paper is
associated. For example, if your paper was published in a departmental
working papers series, you would add both your department and the
working paper series as affiliations. If the paper was associated with a
particular research group, you would add this as well. Add all the
affiliations that are appropriate to your submission to ensure that it
appears in the corresponding browse pages.</p>

<p>In the subject categories stage, you should select the subject or
subjects from the list that best represent the content of your
paper. Please try and be as accurate as possible here, and please don't
just select lots of categories if you're unsure, just pick the categories
that you are sure of. </p>

<p>Once you've selected your subject categories, click on the
<strong>Next</strong> button. </p>

<h3>Document Storage Formats </h3>

<p>This stage allows you to upload files in various formats and attach
them to your deposit. You may upload as many files as required,
including none. However, if you upload no files, you should provide an
explanation why in the <strong>Additional Information</strong> field
(for example, the publisher may allow full text access only through
their web site).</p>

<p>Click the <strong>Add a Format to this Item</strong> button to start
uploading files. You will be presented with a list of possible document
formats; choose the one that most closely matches the physical format of
the file that you are uploading (for example, if you are uploading the
slides of a presentation in PDF format, select "PDF" rather than
"Presentation"). If there is no entry for the file format that you want
to upload, select "Other".</p>

<p>You can enter a brief comment about the file format if you wish (this
is mandatory if you select a format of "Other"). This is strongly
encouraged if you select one of the "generic" formats, such as "Audio"
or "Word processor", in order to further specify the exact file format
(for example, "MP3 file" or "Microsoft Word").</p>

<p>You can also control who is allowed to download attached files.
Select the appropriate security level from the list and click
<strong>Next</strong> to continue.</p>

<!-- 
<p>This page shows you an overview of the document files you have
uploaded to the repository. The table shows the list of formats that you
have uploaded on the left, and the number of files you have uploaded in
that format in the middle column. </p>

<p>If you want to upload some files for a format, or remove some files
you've already uploaded for a format, click on the relevant
"Upload/Edit" button. When you do this, you'll be presented with the
"Document file upload" screen described in the next section. </p>

<p>To remove all of the files for a format completely, click on the
relevant "Remove" button. </p>

<p>Note that you must upload files for at least one of the formats shown
in bold type. </p>

<p>The "Other" format allows you to upload the document in any other
format you think may be useful. For example, you may wish to upload a
Microsoft Word document. </p>

<p>When you're happy that you've uploaded all of the document files, click
on the "Finished" button. Later, you'll have a chance to make sure that
the uploads have all worked, and to come back and fix anything that's
amiss. </p>

<p>Once you've clicked the "finished" button on this page, you'll be
taken to the "Deposit Verification" page described in a later
section. </p>
 -->

<h3>Document File Upload </h3>

<p>You will now be presented with an upload page from which you can
select how you'd like to upload files to the repository.</p>

<h4>Single file</h4>

<p>Choose this option if you want to upload a single file from your
computer as-is. For example, if you have a PDF file on your hard disk, you
would choose this option. If you have to upload more than one file using
this method (for instance, an HTML file and a corresponding .gif figure
image file,) then type the number of files you wish to upload into the
"Number of files to upload" box. From an existing Web site. 
</p>

<p>If your paper is up on the Web already, this option will let you
specify the URL of that paper. The repository software will copy your paper
from that Web site. You should be careful with this option, though; and
read the "uploading from an existing Web site" section below. 
As a ZIP archive/Compressed TAR archive. </p>

<p>Your paper may be stored in several separate files. This is often the
case if your paper is stored in HTML format and contains figures. These
two options let you use the ZIP tool (available on all operating
systems) or the "tar" and "compress" tools (commonly used on UNIX
systems) to collect all of those files into one compacted file. 
Now click on the "Upload" button. 
</p>

<p>If you selected "plain files" or are uploading a compressed file, you
will be presented with a screen where you can either type in the full
filename and path of the document file or compressed file into the text
field, or (recommended) click on the "Browse..." button, and select the
relevant file using the file selector1. If you're uploading more than one
file, there will be a corresponding number of these fields to fill
out. </p>

<p>If you selected "from an existing Web site," enter the full URL of
the first page of the actual document; don't just enter the URL of the Web
site the document appears in or the URL of an index or contents page. See
the section "uploading from an existing Web site" below. </p>

<p>When you've entered the filenames or URLs, click on the "Upload"
button. You'll then be taken back to the "Document File Upload"
screen.</p>

<p>At least one file needs to be shown first. In many cases (e.g. PDF,
Postscript) there will only be one file; if you've uploaded many files you
will need to select the one to be shown first. This should be the first
file in the document that a reader should be presented with; the .html
file if your document is in HTML format, or the contents page if your
document is spread over several uploaded several HTML documents. Use the
"Show First" button to tell the system which file should be shown
first. </p>

<p>The "Delete" buttons on the right of the table can be used to remove
individual files that you've uploaded in error. "Delete all files" will
wipe the slate clean (for this document storage format only) so you can
start again. </p>

<p>You can continue to upload more files as before. If you've uploaded all
necessary files, click on "Finished". This will take you back to the
"Document Storage Format" page. </p>

<h4>Uploading From an Existing Web Site </h4>

<p>When you give the repository a URL to retrieve your document from, the
repository stores a copy of the file stored at that URL. If the URL is an
HTML file, the repository will also copy the images associated with that HTML
file, and other HTML files linked to it. </p>

<p>You must supply the URL of the first page of document itself: NOT the
URL of the whole Web site, or the URL of any contents page listing
multiple documents, index page or abstract page. </p>

<p>http://www.myinstitution.edu/~myhomepage/paper.html

And NOT

www.myinstitution.edu/~myhomepage/</p>

<p>In order to prevent the repository from trying to copy the whole World
Wide Web by following every single link, some rules are applied when the
system collects your document: </p>

<p>Only files reached by "relative" links are retrieved. For example, if
the HTML contains a link to node1.html then node1.html will be copied. If
the link points to http://somewebsite.edu/bar.html, then that URL will not
be copied. </p>

<p>Only files at the same depth or deeper in the Web site file hierachy
are retrieved. For example, if a link points to /index.html or
../index.html, the file will not be copied. </p>

<p>This method of uploading papers cannot have a guaranteed 100% success
rate. However we have been using it here at Southampton for a number of
months and it usually works very well. </p>

<p>If something does go wrong, it's normally best to select "delete all
files" from the "Document File Upload" screen, and try another
uploading method. </p>

<h4>Deposit Verification </h4>

<p>This page will display the abstract page for your document as it will
appear in the repository. You should carefully check that all information has
been uploaded correctly. Note that your paper will not appear in the
"available versions" or "commentary/response" lists at the bottom of
the page; this is normal. </p>

<p>You should also check that the document files have been uploaded
correctly, including any associated figures and links. If you spot a
mistake, you can use forms' "back" buttons (not the browser's "back"
button) to cycle back through the depositing process and fix any
mistakes. </p>

<p>If you're satisfied that everything is correct and has been uploaded
correctly, and have read, understood and complied with the agreement at
the bottom of the page, click on the "Deposit" button to deposit your
paper in the repository. It will then be put in the editorial
buffer. </p>

</ep:body>
</ep:page>

<p>To browse the repository either select Browse from the front page or
from the navigation bar at the top of the screen. Then choose which property
you wish to browse by eg. "subject".</p>

<p>You will be presented with a list of possible values, select
one of these, and you will be given a list of references to documents in
the repository (if any) which match this value.
 To access a paper, simply click on its reference in the display. </p>

<p>On the abstract page, you should be able to see what subjects are
pertinent to the current document. Clicking on one of those subjects will
take you back to the relevant browse by subject view. </p>

<a name="Searching"></a> 
<h2>Searching </h2>
<p>The repository offers two levels of searching, simple and advanced. They
are similar, but the advanced form lets you perform a finer-grained search
using more fields. Access the simple search using the Search the Repository
link on the front page, or using the navigation bar at the top
of the screen. To perform an advanced search, use the advanced search link
at the top of the simple search page. </p>

<h3>Text Search Fields </h3>
<p>These are used to search fields like abstract or author. These are the
fields where there is a text entry area, and a popup menu just to the
right of it. Type your search terms into the box. You can decide how the
system will use your search terms by selecting one of the options from the
popup menu just to the right of the input box.</p>

<dl>
<dt><h4>Match all, in any order. </h4></dt>
<dd><p>In the example shown, the system will search for records in which any
of the title, abstract or keywords fields contain both the word
"patient" and "care". </p></dd>

<dt><h4>Match any. </h4></dt>
<dd><p>In the example shown, the system will search for any record with either
the term "patient" or "care," in any of the title, abstract or
keywords fields.</p></dd>

<dt><h4>Match as a phrase. </h4></dt>
<dd><p>In this case, the system will search for your terms appearing exactly
as you type them. In the example, the system will return any record with
the phrase "patient care" appearing in the title, abstract or
keywords. </p></dd>
</dl>

<h3>Lists of Values </h3>
<p>With these you can select one or more values from a list of values for
the system to search for. If no value in the list is selected, the system
will ignore this field (i.e. it will
retrieve records with any value of this field.) </p>

<p>In cases where each individual record may have more than one value
attached to the list, you can also change search behaviour by selecting
"Any of these" or "All of these" from the popup menu on the right of
the list. </p>

<dl>
<dt><h4>Any of these. </h4></dt>
<dd><p>If this is selected, any record which has any of the values you select
will be retrieved. </p></dd>

<dt><h4>All of these. </h4></dt>
<dd><p>If you select this option, a record must have all the values you choose
associated with it to be retrieved. </p></dd>
</dl>

<h3>Years </h3>
<p>When you're searching a year field, you can specify a single year or
range of years that you're interested in: </p>

<dl>
<dt>1999</dt>
<dd>retrieves only records where the year is `1999'; </dd>
<dt>1987-1990</dt>
<dd>retrieves records with years between 1987 and 1990 inclusive; </dd>
<dt>1995- </dt>
<dd>retrieves records with years of 1995 or later; </dd>
<dt>-1998</dt>
<dd>retrieves records with years up to and including 1998. </dd>
</dl>

<a name="Registering"></a> 
<h2>Registering</h2>

<p>Certain services require you to register with the system so that it can
identify you, such as the  document depositing
services. When you register with the system, you can register a username, email address
and password which must be confirmed. The system will email you a confirmation
URL to visit to enable the password.</p>
<p>Before you can start uploading
items, you need to fill out some personal details into a form (<a
href="&perl_url;/users/record">&perl_url;/users/record</a>),
the registration e-mail will contain instruction on how to do this. This
same form is used to change user details once registered. </p>

<a name="Depositing"></a> 
<h2>Depositing Records</h2>

<p>The first thing you'll need to do, after registering, is fill out your
user record using the form at <a
href="&perl_url;/users/record">&perl_url;/users/record</a>. When
you click on "Deposit Papers," you'll see an option saying "View/change
your user record": Select this option. The user record form is described
below. </p>

<p>Once you've correctly filled out your user record, the "Deposit
Papers" page will show a number of options and any any items you are working
on or have submitted but are not yet approved by an editor. The options
are described below. Note that the options and information that appear may
vary slightly, depending on whether you are in the process of depositing
any papers and whether you have any papers pending entry into the main
repository. </p>

<h3>Your User Record </h3>

<p>Your user record is used to hold contact information about you. Some of
this information will be associated with eprints you upload; some of it is
purely for internal repository use. General information like your name, URL,
address and e-mail address are public, so it's inadvisable to put down a
home address. (Usually a postal address isn't required.) Information about
your operating system is purely to help the repository administrators help
you if you encouter problems. </p>

<p>Enter the relevant information in the form. Those boxes where the field
name (on the left of the box) has an asterisk are required fields that you
must fill out before you can deposit papers in to the repository. </p>

<p>Rather than clicking in each box before you enter something into it,
you may find that your browser will let you use the tab key to move the
cursor between the boxes. In this way you can enter the information much
more quickly. </p>

<p>When you've entered the relevant information, click on the "Update
Record" button at the bottom of the form. If the form is filled out
correctly, you'll be taken back to the "Deposit Papers" page. If there's
a problem with the form, the form will be presented to you again with a
description of what's wrong. Correct the error and click on "Update
Record" again. </p>

<h3>Your Workspace </h3>

<p>If you start uploading a paper, you can decide that you wish to wait
until later before completing the upload, and you can start on another
paper. Papers that you are in the process of uploading are in your
workspace. </p>

<p>If your workspace is empty, which will be the case when you first visit
the page, you will see a button "Click here to start uploading a
document." This button will add a fresh, empty record to your workspace
and allow you to start editing it. </p>

<p>If there are papers in your workspace, you will see a list of those
papers with some option buttons. The title of each paper you are uploading
will be shown in the list, or its ID if you haven't yet given it a
title. The option buttons are described below:</p>

<dl>
<dt><h4>Delete </h4></dt>
<dd><p>If you select a paper and click on this button, that paper will be
removed from your workspace and discarded completely. You will be asked
for confirmation first, so don't worry about accidentally clicking on
it. Clones of any paper you delete are unaffected. </p></dd>

<dt><h4>Edit </h4></dt>
<dd><p>If you select a paper in your workspace and click this button, you will
be able to carry on depositing that paper. </p></dd>

<dt><h4>Deposit </h4></dt>
<dd><p>If you're satisfied that you've completed uploading the paper and
associated information as you had intended, then you can select the paper
and click on this button to deposit the paper in the repository. Note that if
there are problems with the paper (for instance, if a document file upload
hasn't worked, or the associated bibliographic information is invalid),
you will be told what is wrong, and you won't be able to deposit the paper
until those problems are fixed. </p>
<p>The depositing process is described in a following section. </p></dd>

<dt><h4>New </h4></dt>
<dd><p>This button creates a fresh record and starts the depositing
process. </p></dd>

<dt><h4>Clone </h4></dt>
<dd><p>This button makes a clone of the paper you have selected from the
list. This is useful if you are depositing a number of papers with similar
information. You can fill out the common information, clone that paper,
and then edit the clones so you aren't entering the same information
twice. </p></dd>
</dl>

<a name="Process"></a> 
<h2>The Depositing Process </h2>

<p>The depositing process is divided into a number of stages. You can move
between these stages by using the "Back" and "Next" buttons at the
bottom of each screen. This should be familiar to those accustomed to
using the "wizard" style of interface popular on many modern operating
systems. </p>

<p>Don't worry about losing information you've entered when you press the
"Back" button on a form: The system will store everything you've entered
when you press it. However, you should not use your browser's "back"
button when you are depositing papers. </p>

<p>Each stage of the process is described in the following sections. </p>

<h3>Deposit Type </h3>
<p>In this screen, you should select the one option on the list that best
described your paper, for example "conference paper" or "journal paper
(paginated)." The option you choose here will affect what bibliographic
information about your deposit the system will collect in later
stages. </p>

<p>Then click on the "Next" button. </p>

<h3>Succession/Commentary </h3>

<p>The repository can link together different versions of the same paper, as
well as commentaries and responses to commentaries. These enable a reader
to move easily around those versions, commentaries and responses. </p>

<p>If the paper you are depositing is a later version of a paper you
previously deposited in the repository, enter its ID code into the "Later
Version Of" box. If you used the "Clone" option on the "Review
Documents" page, then this box will have already been filled out for you,
but can be overwritten. </p>

<p>To find the ID of a document, use the repository's Search feature to find
the repository. You may wish to have a second browser window opened in which
to perform this search, so that you can copy and paste the ID code across
to this form. </p>

<p>If you are depositing a commentary on a paper in the repository, enter its
ID code in the "Commentary On" box. If you are responding to a
commentary, enter the ID code of the commentary you are responding to in
this box. </p>

<p>You can make sure that you've entered the correct ID codes by clicking
on the "Verify IDs" button at the bottom of the page. The system will
then show you what papers the ID codes pertain to, so you can make sure
you've entered the right codes. Note that the system will not let you
proceed with the deposit if either ID code you enter is invalid. </p>

<p>You can of course leave either box empty if your paper is not a later
version of another, a commentary or a response. Click on the "Next"
button when you're sure the information you've entered is correct. </p>

<p>Note that you cannot deposit a later version of a paper that has been
submitted by someone else. </p>

<h3>Bibliographic Information </h3>

<p>Next you will be asked to enter bibliographic information about your
paper. The exact details that are required will vary depending on the
deposit type you selected in the first stage. </p>

<p>Above each input field will be a short explanation of what should be
put in the field. To the left of each input field is the field name. If
the field name has an asterisk, the field must be filled out before the
paper can be deposited; other fields are optional. </p>

<p>The following are the types of input field you may see: </p>

<dl>
<dt><h4>Text boxes. </h4></dt>

<dd><p>Fairly straightforward. Just type the relevant information in, or copy
and paste direct from your document. </p></dd>

<dt><h4>Popup menus. </h4></dt>

<dd><p>Just select the most appropriate option from the popup menu. </p></dd>

<dt><h4>Checkboxes. </h4></dt>

<dd><p>Used to indicate a yes or no value. </p></dd>

<dt><h4>Lists. </h4></dt>

<dd><p>Select one or more appropriate options from the list. </p></dd>

<dt><h4>Page ranges. </h4></dt>

<dd><p>Type the first page in the range into the box on the left, and the last
page in the box on the right. If the range consists of a single page, just
enter the page number into the left-hand box, and leave the right-hand box
empty. </p></dd>

<dt><h4>Names. </h4></dt>

<dd><p>You can enter title, given name, family name and lineage. Title and
lineage can be ignored if you wish. Sometimes you can enter a list of
names. In these cases, you can add more boxes for names by clicking on the
"More Spaces" button on the right. Note that empty boxes are
ignored. </p>

<p>To remove names from a list just remove the name from the relevant
boxes and leave it empty. Don't worry about leaving a blank box in the
middle of the list; the system will "bunch up" the list. </p></dd>

</dl>

<p>Once you've entered the relevant information, click on the "Next"
button. If there are any omissions from the data, the system will explain
what is wrong and re-present the form so you can fix the problems. </p>

<p>As with user records, most browsers will allow you to use the tab key
to move between the input fields, allowing you to enter the information
quickly. </p>

<h3>Addiliations and Subject Categories </h3>

<p>In the affiliations stage, you should select the organisational
unit(s) within the University that your paper is associated. For
example, if your paper was published in a departmental working papers
series, you would add both your department and the working paper series
as affiliations. If the paper was associated with a particular research
group, you would add this as well. Add all the affiliations that are
appropriate to your submission to ensure that it appears in the
corresponding browse pages.</p>

<p>If you think there's a serious omission from the subject category list,
you can suggest a new category in the two boxes below the subject
list. Note that you shouldn't expect the repository to necessarily agree with
your suggestion; don't be offended if they don't add your suggestion. This
box is there purely for you to suggest categories you really believe are
serious omissions. </p>

<p>Once you've selected your subject categories, click on the "Next"
button. </p>

<h3>Document Storage Formats </h3>

<p>This page shows you an overview of the document files you have uploaded
to the repository. The table shows the list of formats you can upload on the
left, and the number of files you have uploaded in that format in the
middle column. </p>

<p>To remove all of the files for a format completely, click on the
relevant "Remove" button. </p>

<p>Note that you must upload files for at least one of the formats shown
in bold type. </p>

<p>The "Other" format allows you to upload the document in any other
format you think may be useful. For example, you may wish to upload a
Microsoft Word document. </p>

<p>Once you've clicked the "finished" button on this page, you'll be
taken to the "Deposit Verification" page described in a later
section. </p>

<h3>Document File Upload </h3>

<p>If there are no files uploaded in a particular format, you will be
presented with an upload menu from here you can select how you'd like to
upload files to the repository.</p>

<h4>Plain files</h4>

<p>Choose this option if you want to upload files you have on your
computer as-is. For example, if you have a PDF file on your hard disk, you
would choose this option. If you have to upload more than one file using
this method (for instance, an HTML file and a corresponding .gif figure
image file,) then type the number of files you wish to upload into the
"Number of files to upload" box. From an existing Web site. 
</p>

<p>When you've entered the filenames or URLs, click on the "Upload"
button. You'll then be taken back to the "Document File Upload"
screen.</p>

<p>You can continue to upload more files as before. If you've uploaded all
necessary files, click on "Finished". This will take you back to the
"Document Storage Format" page. </p>

<h4>Uploading From an Existing Web Site </h4>

<p>You must supply the URL of the first page of document itself: NOT the
URL of the whole Web site, or the URL of any contents page listing
multiple documents, index page or abstract page. </p>

<p>http://www.myinstitution.edu/~myhomepage/paper.html

And NOT

www.myinstitution.edu/~myhomepage/</p>

<p>In order to prevent the repository from trying to copy the whole World
Wide Web by following every single link, some rules are applied when the
system collects your document: </p>

<p>Only files at the same depth or deeper in the Web site file hierachy
are retrieved. For example, if a link points to /index.html or
../index.html, the file will not be copied. </p>

<p>This method of uploading papers cannot have a guaranteed 100% success
rate. However we have been using it here at Southampton for a number of
months and it usually works very well. </p>

<p>If something does go wrong, it's normally best to select "delete all
files" from the "Document File Upload" screen, and try another
uploading method. </p>
