Self-deposit Form to IR

\label{self-deposit-form-to-ir}
The SWORD-based article deposit form links the library’s article recruitment process with ScholarsArchive@OSU ingest. When faculty receive an article recruitment email from library staff, they can access the article deposit form using an embedded link in that email and initiate their deposit. Compared to the default DSpace deposit interface, the article deposit form divides the deposit process into intuitive, simple, and efficient sequences (Figure 1). The form also adds new features such as automated metadata creation, requests for federal agency grant metadata, and an open access policy waiver option.
