Content Types

The following list has been adapted from the default list provided with EPrints software.

Publications

Articles - Articles in journals, magazines, newspapers. Not necessarily peer-reviewed. May be an electronic-only medium, such as an online journal or news website.
Books - Complete books or conference volumes.
Book Sections - Separately-authored chapters or sections in books.
Conference or Workshop Items - Papers, posters, speeches, lectures or presentations given at a conference, workshop or other event. If the conference item has been published in a journal or book then please use 'Book Section' or 'Article' instead.

Student theses and dissertations submitted to an institution as part of the requirements for a degree, including:

Images - Digital photographs or visual images
Video - Digital video
Audio - Sound recordings
Show/Exhibition - An artist's exhibition or site specific performance-based deposit.
Artefact - An artist's artefact or work product. Could also apply to archaeological finds.
Performance - Performance of a musical event.
Composition - A musical composition.

Datasets - Bounded collections of quantitative data (e.g. spreadsheet or XML data file).
Experiment - Experimental data with intermediate analyses and summary results.

Patents - A published patent. As-yet unpublished patent applications should never be included in a repository, because to do so might disqualify the application.

The following are grouped together by EPrints as Monographs, although many people use 'monograph' as a synonym for 'book'.

Something within the scope of the repository, but not covered by the other categories.
