Elements Self-help Manual V2.0 February 2023 1

INTRODUCTION
This manual is designed to assist Curtin academic staff 1 to manage their publications in Elements.
The manual is intended to provide information to reduce to a minimum the work required by
academic staff to maintain an accurate record of their publications in Elements.
The focus of this manual is to use the functionality within Elements to harvest information from
existing online databases, such as Scopus and Web of Science, and to supplement this with other
data when required.

THE BASICS OF ELEMENTS
Elements is a web-based software system used by research institutions to collect, understand and
showcase their scholarly activities.
At Curtin, Elements is used for recording research and other outputs (e.g. Books, Book Chapters,
Journal Articles, Non-traditional research outputs (NTRO) etc.).
Information stored in Elements is used in:
 Staff profiles;
 Academic dashboard;
 University’s Excellence of Research in Australia (ERA) submission;
 Faculty of Business and Law accreditation;
 Staff promotion (via MyResearch dashboard);
 Work planning; and
 Other ad-hoc reporting.
To access Elements log on via Staff Portal.
In your Staff Portal, click to scroll the carousel. Select Elements and log-in with your Curtin
credentials.
It is also possible to access Elements directly by typing the following URL into your web browser:
https://elements.curtin.edu.au
Publication information is entered in the following ways:
1. Harvesting from online-databases interrogated by Elements via web APIs

2. Uploading from external resources
3. Manual entry

ELEMENTS HOME PAGE
The Home page is where you land after logging in.
On the home page, to the top left of the screen, you will see a series of icons (see image below). To
open your Profile page, click the icon circled in the image below. Following this, the edit profile
button will be visible to the top right of the screen – click this to make changes to your profile.
NOTE: Changes to your Elements profile will not affect your external staff profile, only details of
publications recorded in Elements are used on externally facing staff profiles.
Click the back button on your browser or select the Home icon to return to the home page.
Note: you will need to set up Publication search settings before Elements can find your scholarly
outputs – this is explained in the following section: HARVESTING PUBLICATIONS RECORDS.
Scroll through the My Actions prompts on your homepage. Every item has a link (click view) that
takes you to the section in Elements where tasks can be completed, including:
 Claim publications;
 Add your ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) identifier;
 Deposit publications to espace; and
 Add records.
NOTE: Not all actions will be available. For example, if you have added your ORCID to Elements
then that action will no longer appear.
The Elements Homepage includes a tile with a summary of your claimed publications. The tile
arrangement on the elements Homepage can be customised by clicking your name, visible at the top
right of the screen, to reveal a drop menu (See below). Click Configure homepage to customise tile
arrangement.

HARVESTING PUBLICATIONS RECORDS
Elements automatically harvests publication records from the following online databases:
 arXiv;
 Pubmed;
 Scopus;
 Web of Science; and
 Google Books.
Searches are based upon the author details such as Name and Affiliation. You can change the
search settings used to harvest your publications. Once a publication has been harvested it will
normally display as Pending and you will need to claim it as yours (unless it has been Auto-claimed
because you have supplied a specific author identifier as explained below).
Search settings
To change search settings either click on the link under My Actions on the homepage, or navigate to
the Menu tab (the ‘hamburger’ icon at the top left of the screen: ) and select Name-based
Search under settings.
This takes you to the Name-based search settings page.
On this page you can add different author name variants, addresses or keywords to search for.
To add a name variant just type the name in the box provided next to Name variants and then press
the symbol next to it to add it to the list of names. Use the next to each name to remove it from
the list of names variants to be searched.
Addresses and keywords can be added and removed in the same way in the appropriate locations
on the web page. Note that keywords restrict the search to publications that only contain those
keywords. You may also restrict the search to specific journals by entering journal names next to
Journals. You will have to scroll down the page to find some of the fields.

To stop the harvesting of information on publications published before a certain date, enter it next to
the Start Date.
If you wish to harvest a specific article or articles from an online database that Elements harvests
from, use the section of this page under Specific article IDs. You will need to know the identifier for
the article in that database (see Appendix A to find out how to do this) – enter each one into the
Article ID field and press the icon. Ensure the correct database is selected under Online
database. The articles will be retrieved when you click on save.
Searching specific databases can be managed under the Source-specific name-based search
terms heading (see image below). Only databases with the Search by name box ticked will be
searched for your publications. Database specific search criteria can be entered by unchecking the
checkbox in the Use default search terms (simple mode only) column, clicking on the next to
the database name, then unlocking the field you want to change the search settings on by clicking on
the padlock and then adding fields in the same way as they are added to the default fields ( to
add and to remove).

If you know the database specific search syntax you can change the database to Advanced mode
and enter a custom search term using the Search text box accessed by clicking on the symbol
next to the database name (Appendix B for links to search syntax).
When in simple mode you may also restrict the arXiv search to specific subject categories by clicking
on the symbol next to the database name and select the categories under the arXiv-specific
search terms heading.

Claiming publications records
If you have harvested publications waiting to be claimed there will be an action on your home page
asking you to do this.
If you click on the Claim Now button, you will be taken to the Pending tab on the My Publications
page.
This will show a list of your publications under three heading tabs (see above) – Claimed, Pending,
Rejected.
 Claimed – publications previously claimed, either by yourself, ROC, or via Automatic claiming.
 Pending – publications waiting to be claimed or rejected.
 Rejected – publications rejected as not authored by you.
Here you can Claim or Reject by clicking on the appropriate button (see below). Claimed
publications go into the Claimed tab and the rejected publications go into the Rejected tab.

Alternatively, to access the same Publications page you can click the menu icon (the ‘hamburger’
icon to the top left of the screen: ) and select Publications (see below).
If a publication is not collected via Elements’ auto-harvest function, it can be entered manually.
Refer to the instructions on Adding a manual publication record for further information.
Extra information about each publication can be accessed by clicking on the three vertical dots to the
right of the publication (see image below), or by simple clicking on the title itself.
All Curtin co-authors should claim the publication.

This is so that:
• Publications are added to each author’s Staff Profile
• Author names and researcher identifiers (ORCIDs) are imported into
espace

Anatomy of a publication record
When Elements harvests records for the same publication from two separate sources it will merge
them together so that there is only one record for that publication. It will also attempt to match the
records with an existing manually entered record if that exists. When you look at a publication record
in Elements there will often be multiple sets of data for the same publication, identified by the source
of the data. You can click on the data source to see the details of the data for that record.
One of the data sources will be used as the source of data for the overall record (the “official” data)
according to an order of precedence set in the system (e.g. the manual data source will be used as
the source of truth if one exists). You can, however, override this by clicking on the Set as preferred
record button for that data source.
The overall data type of the record can be edited independently of the data sources by clicking on
the pencil icon next to the type at the top of the record.

The record may also have Labels associated with it, which are record specific keywords associated
with the publication. Some of these are used by the University for ERA and accreditation purposes
and should be entered for each record where required. This is explained in further detail here.
Automatic claiming
For some data sources, you can configure author IDs specific to that data source, such as Scopus
Author ID and ResearcherID (Web of Science), to assist in finding your publications. Your ORCID
can also be added on this page, however this is a special case which is discussed on page 21.
When you do this Elements will (by default) automatically claim publications for you, so you will not
need to claim them from the Pending tab. To set the Author ID for a particular data source that
supports Author IDs click on in the Menu tab (the ‘hamburger’ icon at the top left of the screen: )
and then click on Automatic claiming.
On this screen (Automatic publication claiming) you can add new Author IDs or manage existing
ones that have been entered.
Add a new Author ID by clicking on the link for that data source under the Add external profiles
heading.
By clicking the manage button (see image below) you have the option to auto claim or auto
suggest publications (i.e. automatically claim or automatically set as pending), as well as ignore.

Existing Author IDs can be managed under the External profiles heading. In the Not Mine tab (see
image below), click on Manage. When managing, you have the option to Auto reject, where records
with this author ID will automatically be rejected, or Ignore the profile, which is the same as removing
the profile but a record of it is retained. In these two cases, the Author IDs will appear under the Not
Me and Ignored tabs respectively.
Note: e-mail addresses may be entered in Automatic Claiming and set to auto claim, auto suggest
or Ignore in the same way Author IDs can. This will determine how harvested records that include the
e-mail address will be treated by Elements.

IMPORTING RECORDS INTO ELEMENTS FROM OTHER SOURCES
If a publication record has not been harvested by Elements but appears in an online database, you
may manually import the records from this database if the records can be saved in Endnote format
(.ris file).
These files can be imported by selecting the Import link found in the Menu tab in Elements.
Specific online guides for importing from the following databases are available via the Curtin Staff
Portal, under Research > Research Integrity > Elements Training:
 Google Scholar
 EBSCO
 Engineering Village
 JSTOR
 ProQuest
 ScienceDirect
The guides can be also accessed via this link:
https://staffportal.curtin.edu.au/research/training/elements-training/importing-to-elements/

ADDING A MANUAL PUBLICATION RECORD
An individual publication record can be added manually to Elements. This should be done in the
following circumstances:
 The publication record cannot be obtained by Elements from the available online data
sources and the publication record cannot be imported from other sources.
 The information on the records harvested from online data sources is incorrect. Because
these data sources cannot be edited in Elements a manual record is required to override the
error(s).
 The publication is incorrectly classified as a research or non-research publication on your
staff profile, the manual record is required to correct this classification by setting the sub-type
and audience correctly.
Note: unlike harvested records, imported records are created as manual records and can be edited,
if necessary, to correct any errors or add missing information.
Adding a manual record for a new publication
To manually add a new publication, select +ADD NEW on the publications tile of your home page
(see below) and select the appropriate publication type (this can also be done from the Publications
page by selecting + icon in the top right corner of the screen).
See Appendix C for a description of all publication types and subtypes.
There is an automatic checking screen to help avoid creating a duplicate record, simply enter the title
and search. You can claim any records displayed or skip to continue to the manual entry form.
The manual entry form contains some fields that must be filled in, these are marked with a red
asterisk.
Guidance is provided for sub-types at the top of the page in the blue information box and for fields
where you see a large question mark. Click on the to display the help text.

Note that authors and editors are added individually and must be in the order that they appear on the
publication. If the list of authors or editors is not in the correct order then the individual entries can be
moved by clicking the corresponding arrows to the left of the author’s name.
When all information has been entered click on Save at the bottom of the screen.

Adding funding acknowledgements
The Australian Research Council (ARC) and the National Health and Medical Research Council
(NHMRC) Open Access policies require research outputs arising from ARC/NHMRC funded projects
to be made openly available within 12 months from the date of publication.
Metadata from research outputs arising from ARC/NHMRC funded projects must also be made
publicly available through an institutional repository within 3 months from the date of publication,
regardless of whether the research output is made openly accessible or not.
Refer to Open Access funder mandates for further information.
Prior to depositing a research output to espace, it is important to include the appropriate Field of
Research (FoR) code, and to include any ‘funder’ acknowledgements. This is done by adding the
appropriate label to the research output when recording it to Elements (see steps below).
The screen below will appear after you have saved your newly created manual record.
Select View your publication details.
Select Add labels to record the Funding Acknowledgement details
Select the orange plus symbol , enter the Grant ID, a dash, and the name of the funding
organisation, and then select the green plus icon to save the ID. Repeat to record multiple funding
acknowledgements.

Refer to Labels for further information.
Depositing to espace
Once funding acknowledgement information has been added to the manual record, the research
output can be deposited to espace.
Refer to Depositing to espace for further information.
Adding a manual record to a harvested publication record
To add a manual record to a harvested publication record, click on the publication’s title on the My
publications page (Publications link in the Menu tab). If you have a lot of publications use the
filters on the right-hand side to narrow down the number of publications displayed and make the
record easier to find.
Click on the Add manual record button, you will be taken to the manual entry form as above,
however some of the fields will be pre-populated with the data from the harvested record.

To edit an existing manual data source, click on the Edit record button after clicking on the
publications title on your publications page. If the Edit record button is not displayed then the record
has been locked by ROC – if you need to edit that record please contact ROC Relationships and
detail why the record needs to be edited.
Adding a manual publication record for non-traditional research outputs
A non-traditional research output (NTRO) is an umbrella term to cover those research outputs not
disseminated via the ‘traditional’ research publications such as journal articles, books/book chapters
and conference papers. Adding NTROs to Elements requires a different process than traditional
research outputs. Please refer to the Elements NTROs Supplementary Manual for a comprehensive
guide to adding manual publication records for non-traditional research outputs.

LABELS
Labels are keywords that can be used to find publications in Elements using the search function.
One or more labels may be added to a publication record. There are Seven label categorisation
schemes; Five of these are limited to a specific list while for the remaining two categorisation
schemes, unclassified and funder acknowledgments, any number of unrestricted labels may be
added. All labels other than unclassified are used by the university in statutory reporting and
accreditation. These labels should be entered for relevant publication types.
Labels may be added to any publication record by clicking on the Labels link or Add labels when
viewing the detailed publication record (clicking on the title in the My Publications screen).
A pop-up will then appear titled Labels and an individual label can be added by pressing the orange
plus symbol next to the categorisation scheme. Type the label into the box provided or select from
the drop-down list and then press the symbol. Where there is a drop-down list you cannot enter a
label that is not on the list. For more information on each categorisation scheme click on the question
mark next to it.

Labels can also be added when adding or editing a manual record under the Keywords heading.
The different categorisation schemes are as follows:
Field of Research 2008: Field of Research 2008 (FoR) codes have been superseded by the FoR
2020 codes. Where historical 2008 FoR codes have been associated with a publication they will be
displayed here, however no new codes can be added and the orange plus symbol is not displayed.
Field of Research 2020: At least one and up to three Field of Research 2020 (FoR) codes should be
added to a publication record with a research sub-type (Research Book, Research Chapter,
Research Article, Research Review or Research Paper) or that has the Non-tradition research output
box checked. The list is restricted to four (4) digit FoR codes (see Appendix D). Due to the number
of codes, a drop-down list will not be displayed until you begin to type the code (all start with either a
‘3’, a ‘4’, or a ‘5’). Percentages must also be added to the FoR codes by clicking on the blue percent
symbol, there should be no percentage less than 20% and all percentages must sum to 100%.
Note: it is possible to add more than three (3) of each type of FoR code. FoR 2020 codes are
important as they are used as part of university statutory reporting.
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: Publications that meet the criteria for Scholarship of
Teaching and Learning (SoTL) should have the label ‘Yes’ added to them under this categorisation
scheme. Non SoTL publications may be designed with a ‘No’. Only one label may be selected for
this label type and it must be either ‘Yes or ‘No’. The number of SoTL publications is reported to
Academic Board.
Scope: A Scope label should be added to all publications authored by staff in the Faculty of
Business and Law. Possible labels are ‘State’, ‘National’ and ‘International’ – this is the extent of
the relevance of the publication content. Only one (1) label can be added to a publication for this
categorisation scheme. This label is important as it is used for the Faculty of Business and Law
AACSB accreditation.
Funder Acknowledgments (Grant Id – Organisation): A funder acknowledgement label should be

included for publications that contain funder acknowledgments. The label must be entered in the
following format: grant id first, then a single dash, and then the funding Organisation. If there is no
grant id then just enter the funding organisation only. (see: Adding funding acknowledgements for
more information)
Sustainable development goal: Publications that cater to the listed sustainability goals should
include the appropriate labels. The sustainable development goals are at the core of the UN’s 2030
Agenda, and are part of a global partnership centred on ending poverty, improving health and
education, reducing inequality, promoting economic growth and tackling climate change. To add a
label, click on the search bar and select from the drop-down menu.
Unclassified: Any number of labels may be added here and are not restricted to any list.
Once all labels have been added click on the x at the top of the label pop-up screen or click outside
the pop-up screen to close that window.
When you search for a publication by clicking on the Menu tab and then System Search you can type
labels into the search text box to find publications with that label. The search will also search
publication titles for that word.
It is possible to add Field of Research 2008, Field of Research 2020, Scholarship of Teaching
and Learning, Scope, Funder Acknowledgments, Sustainable development goal and
Unclassified labels to the same publication.

REMOVING DUPLICATES
Occasionally duplicate records will appear in Elements. This will usually be because of one of the
following:
 Elements has failed to match the same publication harvested from different sources with
each other and/or an existing manual record and thus created a duplicate record
 Two manual records have been created separately for the same publication
 An online database has a duplicate record of the publication, and both have been harvested
Duplicate records are not deleted in Elements but rather merged into a single record. To merge two
records together do the following:
1. If not already done, claim both records;
2. Add each record to the Elements workspace, by going to My Publications, clicking on the
three vertical dots to the right of the publication’s title and selecting Add to workspace (see
image below)
3. Go to the Elements workspace by clicking on the top right-hand corner of any Elements
page, where your name should be visible. This will open a drop down menu, where you can
select Workspace (see image below).

4. Select both publications records you wish to merge (you cannot merge more than two
records at once) - see image below;
5. Click Join; and

6. Click OK.
7. Repeat 3-6 if there are more duplicate records.
Note: where it is not expected that there are duplicates of a particular data source, you cannot
merge those records.

DELEGATION
There is the option within Elements to delegate your publication management to another user or
users. This will allow that user to “Impersonate” you in Elements and make changes to your
Elements profile and publications in the same way that you can.
Note: there is no obligation on the part of an elements delegate to manage your publications –
this must be negotiated with the intended delegate beforehand.
NOTE: When delegating your publication management to another user(s) this gives them the ability
to deposit publications into Curtin’s open access institutional repository espace
(https://espace.curtin.edu.au) on your behalf.
To manage delegation, go to the Manage Delegates link in the Menu tab. This is in the Settings
section.
Clicking on this link will take you to the Account settings page. To add a delegate start typing their
surname into the name (surname first) field. As you type a selection of names will appear under the
box you are typing into. Select the name you want and click the Add delegate button that is now
displayed. To remove a delegate, click on the next to their name.
If you have been made an Elements delegate the Impersonate another user button will appear at
the top of Elements pages. Clicking on this will give you a list of users whom you may impersonate.
There is a search function but this should not be necessary as the number of possible users should
be small for any academic staff member at Curtin.

When impersonating another user, you will be able to see and edit their account settings and
publications as though they were your own. To stop impersonating someone click on the next to
their name at the top of the screen.

HIDING OR HIGHLIGHTING A PUBLICATION ON YOUR STAFF
PROFILE VIA ELEMENTS
Publications information contained in Elements is made available for use on externally facing Curtin
Staff Profiles. No other Elements data is used in Curtin Staff Profiles. If you wish to remove a
publication from your staff profile, you can do this by setting it as Private or Internal in Elements. Go
to the My publications page by clicking on the Menu tab and then the Publications link.
Find the publication you wish to hide – you may have to use the filters on the right-hand side of the
page if you have a lot of publications listed. Note the two icons located at the top right of each
publication: & . Once you have found the publication, click on the Globe icon to access
privacy settings for that publication.
You will see the following Privacy Settings menu appear (see image below).

Here, you can choose your preferred privacy settings. Under Relationship privacy, there are three
options: Private, Internal and Public. Setting your Relationship privacy as Private or Internal will
prevent the publication from being displayed on your Curtin staff profile
NOTE: You will not be able to access or alter the Publication privacy (visible above Relationship
Privacy). If the publication is sensitive to the degree that it should not display on any Curtin staff
profile, please contact the ROC Relationships team to have the Publication Privacy level set as
private.
It is also possible to highlight a publication on your staff profile. To do this, instead of clicking on the
globe icon click on the heart icon: . The publication will then be displayed under a separate
heading of your staff profile.
At the bottom of the Privacy Settings menu you can find “Learn more about privacy”. Clicking
here will take you to a page in Elements with further details regarding managing your privacy settings
in Elements.

EXPORTING PUBLICATION RECORDS
A list of publications records may be exported from Elements in various formats. Records are
exported from the My Publications page (click on the Menu tab and then the Publications link to
get there from your home page).
Select the publications records you wish to export by checking the box next to the publication title.
You may change the number of publications displayed per page if you wish to export more records,
and use the filters to only display the publication records that you want. If you do not select any
publication records then ALL will be exported.
When you have selected the publications click on the Export button. You will be able to select from
six file formats:
 BibTex;
 ReferenceManager/Endnote;
 PDF;
 Word; or
 Excel.
In PDF and Word files the citations will be in APA6 format.

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)
An ORCID is a persistent digital identifier unique to you that distinguishes your research output from
other researchers and links your name to your research to ensure a consistent, reliable attribution of
your work. It is increasingly required by publishers and funders including the Australian Research
Council and National Health and Medical Research Council for manuscript and submission. ORCIDs
are created and managed at https://orcid.org/
Curtin research staff should register and set-up an ORCID and enter it into Elements.
Your ORCID can be entered into Elements so that publication records can be harvested based on
your ORCID profile, however as your ORCID is explicitly managed by you rather than Curtin or a
Publisher, there are some extra step required to add it.
To add your ORCID to Elements do the following:
1. Either click on the link under My Actions to Add your ORCID or click on the Automatic
claiming link under the Menu tab and on the Automatic publication claiming page click
Add ORCID.
2. Sign-in using your ORCID credentials. If you have not set up your ORCID, you can click on
the link to Register now.

3. Authorise Elements to connect to ORCID if prompted, and your ORCID will connect to
Elements.
4. After authorising access, your ORCID should be connected. Elements should display a
message stating: ‘ORCID connection established (see below)’.
In that page you may select the level of access Elements will have to your ORCID data. By
default, Elements will use the unique identifiers associated with your ORDIC records, such
as the DOI, to harvest the records of those specific publications from online databases
(Scopus, Web of Science etc.). You may allow Elements greater access to your ORCID
account so that it may upload your publication records in Elements to your ORCID profile if
they do not currently exist there. You may also restrict Elements to only use your ORCID to
auto-claim publication records harvested form other data sources.
See Appendix E for the mapping between Elements publication types and ORDIC
publication types when ‘read and write publication data to my ORCID account’ is selected.

5. To confirm your Elements profile is connected to ORCID from within Elements click on the
Automatic claiming link under settings in the Menu tab.
6. Under External profiles click on the ORCID ID symbol . If your ORCID is connected then it
will display as ‘connection status: configured’.
It is still possible to manually update your ORCID profile by exporting your publication records from
Elements in a BibTeX format and importing them into ORCID. However, this process has been
replaced with the ORCID functionality outlined in step 4 above.
For more information on ORCID at Curtin refer to Author identifiers in the Library’s Research Toolkit.

DEPOSITING TO ESPACE
The differing roles of Elements and espace
Integration between Elements and espace allows researchers to deposit their research outputs into
espace directly via the Elements system.
However, Elements and espace are separate platforms, with discrete roles.
Elements is Curtin’s publication management system. Elements harvests details of publications for

Curtin-affiliated researchers from external databases and facilitates manual entry of publications.
In contrast espace, Curtin's institutional repository, is an open access digital collection of Curtin
research publications and higher degree by research theses
Not all content collected in Elements is suitable for deposit to espace. It is important to determine
you are depositing content suitable for inclusion in espace before commencing the deposit process.
Research content suitable for deposit to espace
Outputs suitable for deposit in the Curtin Research Publications collection include:
 peer-reviewed journal articles

 peer-reviewed conference papers
 research outputs subject to funder open access policies.
 books and book chapters
 non-traditional research outputs (such as research reports and original creative works or
their representation).
Curtin outputs not suitable for deposit to espace
 content containing confidential or commercially sensitive material

 material subject to intellectual property (IP) protection or commercialisation
 material not to be publicly accessible for reasons of privacy or cultural sensitivity (metadata
may be accepted)
 evidence of engagement and impact activities
 preprints, research data, software
Please refer to Appendix C: Publication types and Subtypes for specific guidance on content suitable
for deposit to espace.

Meeting copyright obligations when depositing to espace
Published research outputs will display a copyright statement similar to:
© Publisher/Commissioning Body 2022. All rights reserved.

© Publisher/Commissioning Body 2022. Open Access CC BY.
© The Authors 2022. All rights reserved.

© The Authors 2022. This is an open access publication under CC BY licence.
If publications do not have a copyright statement, you must assume the content is © Publisher
2022. All rights reserved.
Publisher copyright
Research outputs with the copyright statement ‘© Publisher 2022. All rights reserved’ do not permit
the published version to be made openly available in espace without the express written permission
of the publisher.
However, an author may have self-archiving rights detailed within the publishing agreement. These
author self-archiving rights may permit an open access version of the research outputs to be ‘self-
archived’ in a suitable repository, possibly subject to an embargo period.
Author copyright
Copyright statements such as ‘© The Authors 2022’ indicate the copyright is retained by the authors.
A published version of the research can be deposited to espace by a Curtin affiliated author.
Open licences
Copyright statements such as ‘© The Authors 2022. This is an open access publication under CC BY
licence’ specifies the authors retain copyright and permit sharing of the published version under an
open licence.
Copyright statements such as ‘© Publisher 2022 Open Access CC BY’ specifies the publisher retains
copyright but permits sharing of the published version under an open licence.
The published version is permitted to be deposited in espace in both these circumstances.
Look for Creative Commons icons on research publications to determine if the published version is
suitable to be deposited to espace under an open licence.

Refer to the Guide to espace for more information on meeting copyright obligations, author self-
