UniartsCRIS: Add publications

Uniarts Helsinki's UniartsCRIS system guide. The guide is under development and will be updated during 2022-2023.

Uniarts Helsinki teachers, researchers and doctoral students report their publications, artistic activity and research activities (experts task) to UniartsCRIS system.

Submit publication with DOI

Begin submitting a publication from the “Submit a new publication” link on the front page, or from the “Add” button on the “Publications” page.

If your publication has a DOI, copy it without the prefix https://doi.org/ to the DOI field.

Publication DOI field.

Hit enter or click the magnifying glass icon. If the publication’s information is available, UniartsCRIS retrieves the reference and notifies that “DOI found from Crossref”.

Reference retrieved with publication DOI.

Choose ”Import publication metadata” next if the information is correct. If a publication was found in UniartsCRIS with the same DOI, you receive a notification that “The publication’s data already exist in the system” (see image below). You can inspect the publication but you can’t submit a new publication with the same DOI. If an edited book has a single DOI and the chapters in it don’t have individual DOIs, report such chapters without a DOI. See “Submit publication manually” on this page.

Notification when DOI is already in the system.

When you have imported the publication data, next you have to choose the form and type of publication from the drop-down menus. If you have to change your selections, choose “Empty selections”.

After selecting correct publication attributes, the rest of the submission form opens. Here you can see the information retrieved eith the DOI. Edit the metadata if necessary (f.ex. “Page numbers” field might include an article number instead of page numbers).

Add rest of the information. Mandatory fields are marked with *. See also “Submit publication manually” on this page: the detailed instructions apply to publications you submit with DOI.

Publisher information should be filled usually only when you have selected “No series” in the previous section. If you think that the publisher is in the Jufo system, choose “Yes” in the “Publisher has Jufo classification” section, and search the publisher from the list by typing in its name. If you can’t find the publisher from the list, choose “No”, and type in the publisher’s name.

Uniarts Helsinki requires researchers to self-archive their scientific, peer-reviewed publications which are published behind a paywall, when allowed by the publisher. Attach the Final Draft version of the publication by clicking the “Add new file” button and choose “I wish to self-archive my publication”. See the publishing guide’s self-archiving page for more information. The library checks the publisher’s self-archiving policy when validating the submission.

Self-archiving section.

Finally, preview the information and submit the publication for processing. If any of the required information is missing, saving the record will not work. Fill in the missing information if needed.

”Save” in the end of the preview.

After this, the publication goes to the library for validation. Library staff might include additional metadata, ask you about the publications, change its type or other information, or even delete it from UniartsCRIS if doesn’t fulfill the Ministry of Education and Culture’s publication criteria. After the library staff has checked the publication, it will appear in UniartsCRIS, and submitted further to the ministry’s VIRTA publication information service.
