Enter your email address. You will receive an email from MD-SOAR asking you to complete your registration. Important note:When the MD-SOAR team receives your registration information, it must add you as a submitter to the collection associated with your program. It’s advisable that you use your SU email for registration so that the MD-SOAR team can easily identify your affiliation and program. If you are a student or are not registering with an SU email, you will need to contact the MD-SOAR team if you are planning to submit work, as they cannot identify your program affiliation by searching the SU directory.
Follow the link in the email from MD-SOAR to complete your registration.
Note: Once the MD-SOAR team adds you as a submitter, generally within one business day, you will be able to submit your work to the SOAR@SU collection designated for your program.
Submit an item to SOAR@SU:
Go to SOAR@SU and click on the login dropdown on the upper right hand side.
Enter your email address and password and log in. A black bar should appear on the left.
Hover over the black bar and select New > Item.
A list of collections you are authorized to submit to will populate in a popover. You can search by typing into the search box at the top of the popover and waiting for the list to update; do not press enter to search (it will take you to a submission page for the top item in the starting list if you do).
Click on the collection you want to submit the item to. The submission page will open; this can take a moment to load.
Enter the information about your item, upload your file, and select a license for your submission if applicable.
Note: Title and Type are required fields. We highly recommend you fill out as much other information as you can. Important note: If you do not want to assign a Creative Commons license, do not click on or choose one of the options in the dropdown menu in the "Creative commons license" section; once selected, there is no way to remove the license and you will have to restart the submission from scratch.
Check the box to agree to the SOAR@SU Distribution license, agreeing to grant SOAR@SU a non-exclusive right to reproduce, publicly display, and distribute your item at no cost to users world-wide.
Click "Deposit" to submit your item and its information to SOAR@SU.
Note: You may instead click "Save for later" if you wish to continue working on the submission at a later time. Saved submissions can be found by going to the little person icon in the top right (you must be logged in) and selecting "My MD-SOAR". This will take you to a list of all submissions you've ever made to SOAR@SU. To find your in-process submission, click the "Status" filter on the left and select "Workspace". Click "Edit" to resume working on your submission.
Receive confirmation: After the SOAR@SU team reviews your submission, you will receive a confirmation email that your item has been added to the collection that you selected.
