How to Deposit Your Research
1. Go to RShare and click Log in at the top right of the screen. Login with your my.torontomu.ca portal username and password to activate your RShare account.
2. To upload an item, look for the red button marked 'create new'. If you cannot see it, go to My content data and select Items.
3. Using the dropdown menus, select your group (which will correspond with your departmental group - for example, Electrical Engineering or Tourism/Hospitality, not your faculty group: be as specific as possible by typing it into the menu and selecting the best option). Select your item type from the menu: most submissions are journal articles, but RShare offers multiple item types. Once this is complete, click on the Browse Files button to select your file to add. RShare accepts most file types and can handle large file sizes. If you have no file to add, select that option at the bottom of the page.
4. Complete the appropriate fields for your item, then click Save changes. If your object already possesses a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), you can click "manage identifiers" on the right side and select 'preexisting', and add it there. If there is no preexisting DOI, RShare will generate one. Look for the boxes with a red star: title, group, item type, categories, keywords, authors, description: all must have something in there before your item can be published.
5. When the record is complete, click the red Submit for Review button. If any mandatory fields are blank, you will be prompted to complete them.
6. The deposit will checked by the Library repository team and we hope to have your submission moderated shortly. Please note that on submission of your file, you will not receive a confirmation email: we will contact you if more information about your deposit is required. Once the checks are complete, you will receive a notification that your record and files are available under the license that you have selected.
If you have any questions about uploading your item, or completing the metadata, please contact the Library repository team at rshare.library@torontomu.ca.
