Manuscript

Add component • Manuscript • Workspace

There are different ways to add a manuscript. :

• Upload via manuscript URL

• Upload via file format (pdf)

• [TBD] Create in-situ

You can add manuscripts through Node Drive Panel for the first two basic upload methods. Extra information on how they relate to manuscripts is available below.

In development is the ability to create and edit manuscripts within a text editor in Nodes.

The best way to ensure the discoverability of your Node is to include a standard academic manuscript that will be indexed by academic databases like Google Scholar. To ensure your manuscript (and Node) is indexed, make sure your manuscript meets the following requirements:

• The full text of your manuscript needs to be a PDF file that ends with ".pdf",

• The title of the manuscript appears in a large font on top of the first page,

• The authors of the manuscript are listed right below the title on a separate line,

• There's a bibliography section titled "References," "Bibliography," or similar at the end.

Google Scholar and other academic databases will then ensure that your Node is findable by others and track citations of your Nodes.

Manuscripts can be added either via the URL to your PDF or by uploading it as a PDF file.

Add an existing manuscript via URL

You can add a manuscript that is publicly available elsewhere via its URL. Just copy/paste the link that resolves to your web PDF into the URL field, as found in the Node Drive Panel.

You can see basic instructions for URL uploads here. Make sure that the URL ends in '.pdf' for it to be properly imported as a manuscript.

The video below demonstrates how to import a .pdf file through a web link.

Importing a manuscript/document from a .pdf URL

Before you add a manuscript, make sure its licensing allows you to publish this work elsewhere to avoid inadvertent violations of copyright.

Find out more about licenses here.

In case you're wondering why we don't offer the option to upload a manuscript via its DOI: That's because of inconsistent resolution behaviour. The only way to consistently resolve your DOIs to your manuscript via SciHub, and that's not legal for us to do.

Add a manuscript via PDF upload

If you want to upload a manuscript without a URL, you can simply upload the PDF file from your local files. See file upload options:

• Drag & Drop
• Upload from Desktop

[TBD] Create & edit a manuscript in situ

In progress: We are currently creating an in-app text editing programme, so you can create or edit your manuscripts. Either from scratch or from an uploaded file.
