Depositing: Click on the "Create a new item" button. This will open a new window where you can add descriptive metadata and upload your files. More detailed instructions are available in the links in the left hand menu.
Organize your research products as you would want them to be cited. If you have research with multiple files, you can create a single item with many files or several items with a few related files. How you choose to group these should depend on how similar the files are and if you wish to apply the same metadata and licenses.
Users can deposit a variety of scholarly outputs into the Repository, including articles, white papers, conference presentations, and research data. Repository accounts have 1GB storage by default, if you need more, contact the Repository team.
Review and Acceptance: Once you submit an item for deposit, it may take several days to complete the review process. A Repository administrator will check your submission to verify it is complete and fits within the scope of the repository. We will not review the content of your submission. At this time your item may be published and available immediately or we will contact you for additional information.
Updates and Amendments: After your Repository record is published, you are able to add files and metadata to the existing record. Saving and republishing the record will send it back to the curation process where it will be re-reviewed by a Repository administrator. Changing a file, the title, or authors will create a new version of the record, but the DOI will remain the same, just versioned.
Help: The Middlebury Institutional Repository team is available to answer any of your questions about the deposit process. Email us at repository@middlebury.edu
