Visibility
UvA-DARE enhances the visibility of your publications. The data of your publications in UvA-DARE can be found by search engines (such as Google and Google Scholar) and in inclusive repositories (such as NARCIS and BASE). UvA-DARE also uses UvA-linker, which allows fellow researchers and those interested easy retrieval of your officially published work at the publisher's site. Whether this makes your publication accessible to the visitor will depend on the access rights (see the paragraph below).
Your publication freely available
Besides the bibliographic details, you can add the publication itself to UvA-DARE, in pdf or Word. Of course, you yourself decide whether you only want to archive it (in which case the electronic version is not accessible) or if you wish to give interested researchers and readers full access to the electronic publication. There are great advantages to making it worldwide available. Publications which are freely available are more often downloaded and cited.
If your publisher does not give permission to give access to the definitive publisher's version/pdf, in many cases it is permitted to make the last author's version available (i.e. the version after peer review). This version has the same scientific content, but lacks the publisher's lay-out. More information can be found at SHERPA/RoMEO and the Open Access and Copyright site of UvA.
If, however, the publisher has no objections, you can give the University Library permission to publish your publications. The University Library will then give access to the publisher's version/pdf.
Automatically generated publications list
Having your publications in UvA-DARE has another advantage: a personal publications list is automatically created. This publications list is worldwide available via the web, and is updated whenever new publications by you are added to METIS, the research information system of UvA. Furthermore, you can easily link to your list from your homepage. UVA-DARE takes care that your publications are included in any surveys made available via the web by the university, faculty, research group or institute.
