How will my publications be preserved for the long term via the Digital Academic Repository of the UvA?
Through the national DARE initiative, a co-operative project in which all Dutch universities, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), SURF, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and the Royal Library (KB) participate, arrangements will be made to preserve electronic publications for the long term. It is the intention that these publications will be deposited via the university repositories in the e-Depot of the Royal Library. The Royal Library is an international leader in the area of long term preservation of digital publications. During the DARE project (2003-2007) the necessary connections will be made between the Digital Academic Repository of the UvA and the e-Depot of the KB.
Where is my personal publication list and how can I link to it?
You can see your publication list in UvA-DARE by looking for your own DAI (Digitale Author Identification) number. Your can find your DAI number by clicking on the Repository in UvA-DARE and enter your author name in the browse bar that searches by author. The DAI number is the number next to your name. With your DAI number you can also find your publication list in NARCIS. If you do not have a DAI number you can request a number at dare@uva.nl.
Where is the publication list of my institute or department and my faculty?
With the Browse option for faculities you can see your faculty or departement/institute publication list by looking for your faculty name and then select your institute/department name. You can link to these publication lists with the url's provided on the page, for example:

- A public interface through which users can search and browse the bibliographical records (metadata) of all the archived publications.

- All bibliographical records will include UvA-linker services.
- 'Notify a colleague' service, with which colleagues can be notified about a publication of interest.
How do I decide whether to make one of my publications completely available to others?
You can make your publication world-wide available without any special arrangements in these cases:
- No agreement was signed for the publication in which the ownership was transferred.
- An agreement was signed, but it leaves the possibility for making the publicationa available thorugh an institutional archive.
Sometimes an agreement has been signed with a publisher which only allows a working paper or preprint to be made public available through an archive. Usually these are allowed to remain publicly available after publication in the journal.
If an agreement has been signed in which the author has transferred all rights on the publication, then the publisher must be contacted. Regrettably, this situation occurs regularly, especially when dealing with the large, commercial publishing houses. It is therefore important to consider carefully before signing away one's rights fully and one-sided, given the effect of these agreements on the availability of publications. More information can be found on the Open Access site of the UvA.
Why am I asked to send a copy of my publication when the publication is already present in an UvA library?
In order to make your publication worldwide accessible, the UvA library can ask you to send an edition of your publication. If your publication is not online available the library will ask you for a digital copy. This can also be the last version which you have send to the publisher. A publication that is worldwide accessible can be reused for educational and research purposes. Making publications worldwide accessible is called Open Access. More information can be found on the Open Access site of UvA.
How do bibliographical records about my publications become available in this network?
The Digital Academic Repository of the Universiteit van Amsterdam complies with the requirements of the Open Archives Initiative so that bibliographical records (metadata) can be harvested from the repository and indexed in a variety of information systems. As a result, metadata about UvA publications can be found in other databases.
Where are bibliographical records about my publications to be found?
How do I cite a special page or part of my final peer reviewed manuscript?
