Assisted DepositIf you are affiliated with NYMC, we can handle permissions and add the full-text of your works to Touro Scholar for you! Simply submit the Touro Scholar Deposit Form with a full text version of your work and our team will do the following:
Can you check permissions for all my work?
The service is available for works published with a New York Medical College affiliation only. If you have a large body of NYMC-affiliated work that you would like us to upload, we are happy to work from your CV. Please contact Jeanette Aprile at japrile@nymc.edu.
What can I do now?
It is very likely that we will need preprints/postprints for a number of your papers, as a significant number of publishers will only allow authors to upload non-final versions of their work to institutional repositories. To help expedite the permissions process, please consider compiling your preprints/postprints and sharing them with us in advance of our permissions review. You can also share any Copyright Transfer Agreements (CTAs) that you might have from your journal or book publishers.
How else can I use the results of Assisted Deposit?
In addition to having your works posted to Touro Scholar, you may use the results from this permissions process to populate your profile on social media sites like Academia.edu, ResearchGate, Twitter, Facebook, and other online platforms, as well as your departmental website. As a result of having your works deposited in Touro Scholar, you can also opt to receive access to an author dashboard which will provide analytics information for all of your works, as well as a monthly download report delivered directly to your inbox. By driving traffic to a single source, you can keep better tabs on your readership.
Touro Scholar is an open access respository. Its purpose is to enhance the discoverability and equity of access to New York Medical College scholarship.
The level of openness of a published work will depend on the restrictions contained in the author's publishing agreement. The Health Sciences Library's assisted deposit service can help you identify how to make a version of your publication open from Touro Scholar.
We use a combination of resources to verify the permissions on your work, including the journal website, Sherpa Romeo, your publishing agreement, and, if neccessary and requested, contacting the publisher on your behalf.
