ThinkIR: Submitting your Work

Please note: The EVPRI office has licensed a new system, Symplectic Elements, to manage faculty profile information. Libraries personnel will be working with them to migrate existing bepress profiles to the extent possible. Once the new system goes live (tentatively Fall 2024), our team will be focusing on continuing to expand open access to UofL scholarship via ThinkIR. Those who wish to make the scholarship on their Elements profile open access can continue to contact thinkIR@louisville.edu to request our team to research publication agreements and upload acceptable versions to ThinkIR/Digital Commons, which the faculty member may then link the PDF in our repository to their Elements profile.

What version do you have?

Preprint (or Author’s Original Manuscript): your original, non-peer-reviewed manuscript initially submitted to a publisher.

Postprint (or Accepted Manuscript): a peer-reviewed version of your article, prior to publisher “add-ons” such as formatting, proofreading, pagination, etc.

Version of Record (or Published Version): your final, published article (typically in PDF form, provided by the publisher). Usually not permitted to be deposited into the IR.
