Submission Administrators

Submissions to the NRC Publications Archive are made by designated Submission Administrators at each portfolio. If you are a researcher and would like to submit your publication to the Archive, please submit your publication to your designated NRC Publications Archive Submission Administrator.

If you have been designated as your Portfolio's NRC Publication Archives Submission Administrator, it is your responsibility to:

• Encourage researchers to keep all versions of their manuscript (author's, accepted and publisher's) and if possible, a signed copy of the LTP;
• Submit publications to the NRC Publications Archive on a monthly basis using the Submission Spreadsheet.
  This will involve:
  • Entering citation information (title, author, journal, etc.) about each publication into the Spreadsheet;
  • Indicating within the spreadsheet if the publication is associated with a particular program or project;
  • Submitting the spreadsheet AND an electronic copy of the appropriate full text version (when appropriate) of each publication identified in the spreadsheet to NRC-Knowledge Management (NRC-KM).
