REPOSIT is a system for documents produced at HAW Hamburg or related to HAW Hamburg. For example, articles, working papers, technical reports, dissertations or conference materials are published here.
The materials are mostly provided as Open Access Documents and are available gratis and barrier-free.

Furthermore, there are also items/records with metadata only - this is the continuation of the publication database of HAW Hamburg.

Navigation: Using the navigation, the content on REPOSIT can be sorted to according various aspects:

Publications

Extended Search: Most types of publications can be searched via Extended Search. Various filters can be used for the search. If several filters are used, they must be filled. Otherwise the search will not work. Searches such as "How many publications of type X were published by organisational unit X in year X?" or "Did professor Y publish a publication of type Y in year Y?" are possible.

Browse by Author shows a list of all authors on REPOSIT.

Browse by Institute shows a list of all organizational units of HAW Hamburg that have published metadata or/and documents on REPOSIT.

Browse by Publication Date shows a list of all entries on REPOSIT. You can search for a specific year or month.

You may sign on to the system if you:

• wish to subscribe to a collection and receive e-mail updates when new items are added
• wish to go to the "My Deposits" page that tracks your subscriptions and other interactions with REPOSIT.
• wish to edit your profile

The entire repository in REPOSIT can be searched in the search window in the upper corner. Full-text search is available. On the search results page, the number of hits can be narrowed down and sorted.

Help for searching:

What is not searched - Stop Words
The search engine ignores certain words that occur frequently in English, but do not add value to the search. These are:

"a", "and" , "are" , "as" , "at" , "be" , "but" , "by" , "for" , "if" , "in" , "into",

"is" ,"it" ,"no" , "not" , "of" , "on" , "or" , "such", "the" , "to" , "was"

Truncation
Use an asterisk (*) after a word stem to get all hits having words starting with that root, for example:

   will retrieve selects, selector, selectman, selecting.

Stemming
The search engine automatically expands words with common endings to include plurals, past tenses ...etc.

Phrase Searching
To search using multiple words as a phrase, put quotation marks (") around the phrase.

Exact word match
Put a plus (+) sign before a word if it MUST appear in the search result. For instance, in the following search the word "training" is optional, but the word "dog" must be in the result.

Eliminate items with unwanted words
Put a minus (-) sign before a word if it should not appear in the search results. Alternatively, you can use NOT. This can limit your search to eliminate unwanted hits.
For instance, in the search you will get items containing the word "training", except those that also contain the word "cat".

  or  

Boolean searching

The following Boolean operators can be used to combine terms. Note that they must be CAPITALIZED !

AND - to limit searches to find items containing all words or phrases combined with this operator, e.g.

will retrieve all items that contain BOTH the words "cats" and "dogs".

OR - to enlarge searches to find items containing any of the words or phrases surrounding this operator

will retrieve all items that contain EITHER the words "cats" or "dogs".

NOT - to exclude items containing the word following this operator, e.g.

will retrieve all items that contain the word "training" EXCEPT those also containing the word "cat".

PARENTHESES - can be used in the search query to group search terms into sets, and operators can then be applied to the whole set, e.g.

The REPOSIT content is organized around Communities which can correspond to administrative entities. Within each community there can be an unlimited number of subcommunities and an unlimited number of collections.
Each collection may contain an unlimited number of items. REPOSIT contains currently the following communities: Research Output (Research Output from HAW Hamburg) and Student Publications (Student Publications).

In REPOSIT there are currently several collections that belong to different communities. The following collections belong to the community "Research Output": Publications with fulltext (Publications with fulltext files),
Publications without fulltext (Publications without fulltext files) and Research Data. For the community "Student Publications" the following collections are planned: Theses, Student Research Data and Other Student Publications. Several items (files and metadata) form one collection.

If you would like to publish, you must first log in.

• If you are a member of HAW Hamburg, please log in to REPOSIT with your HAW Hamburg login data.
• If you do not have a HAW Hamburg account, e.g. as an external PhD student, please login for external users.

You can interrupt the publishing process at any time and continue it later. The data is automatically backed up as soon as you click on "Next". So the data will not be lost even if you cancel the publishing process accidentally.
With "Cancel/Save" you can also save your entries by clicking on "Save it, I'll work on it later". Furthermore, if you have clicked on "Cancel/Save", you can delete your publication/cancel the process or continue your publication.

The "My Deposits" area also lists all publishing processes. From here you can also continue editing or delete the process.

Select Collection:

Before you describe your document, you must first select a collection (confirm with "Manual Submission", if you want to do a manual submission).

A progress bar at the top of the page will guide you through the next steps. You can also use it for navigation. Your entries will always be saved.

(If you are denied permission to submit to the collection you choose, please contact your REPOSIT Administrator for more information.)

You must be authorized by a community to submit items to a collection. If you would like to submit an item to REPOSIT, but don't see an appropriate community,
please contact your REPOSIT Administrator to find out how you can get your community set up in REPOSIT.

The more complete and detailed you describe the item, the better your publication will be found later. Please take enough time for this, especially for the translated titles.

Embargo

If your document may not be published immediately, but only after the expiry of a protection or confidentiality obligation, then please indicate here the date on which the document may become public. Release will automatically take place at this date.

If you specify a reason for the embargo, it will be displayed to the library in the backend. Important: The record will be displayed in search results and lists despite the embargo (but the document can't be accessed).

If you click on "Select a file or drag&drop files ...", a new window will open where you can search for a file from your local system or use the Drag&Drop function. Please also note that the system supports some file types better than others.

You can also enter a short description of the contents of the file, e.g. main volume, attachments, etc.

If REPOSIT could not automatically determine your file format, you can enter the name and version of the application used to create the file here, e.g. My Application version 1.5. and apply it to your file. But before you do so, please check the list to see if the file format is included.

Please check the uploaded file(s)

• Click on a file name. This will open the file in a new browser window and you can check its contents. If you have accidentally uploaded the wrong file, you can delete the file and replace it with the correct one.
• Using the two "Change" buttons, you can also correct the description and file format afterwards.
• You can view the checksum for your file and compare it with the one you created locally to make sure REPOSIT really contains your document.

If you really only wanted to upload one file, then click "Next" once you are satisfied with the uploaded file.

If you want to upload more files, then do this with "Add another file" for each additional file. Click "Next" when you are satisfied with the uploaded files.

If you want to upload an HTML file with embedded files, first upload all files by clicking on "Add another file".
Then select the "main page" from the documents, i.e. the index page or the start page. This ensures that the HTML file is displayed correctly. Click "Next" when you have uploaded all files.

Checksums

REPOSIT generates an MD5 checksum for every file it stores; we use this checksum internally to verify the integrity of files over time (a file's checksum shouldn't change). You can use this checksum to be sure what we've received is indeed the file you've uploaded.

If you wish to verify the file using checksums, click "Show checksums". The REPOSIT-generated MD5 checksum for every file we've received from you will show to the right of the filename. You will then need to use a local program to generate your own checksum for these files, and verify that your results match ours. On most UNIX-like systems (including Mac OS X), use md5sum. For instance, type "md5sum MYFILE" for every file you want to check; the summary should print on your screen. For Windows machines, MD5 tools are freely available: try md5 (from http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/), or md5sum, available via the textutils package in Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). All of these utilities will need to be run from a command-line, or terminal, window. The entire digest printed out when you run the md5 tool on your local copy of the file you're uploading should be exactly equal to what REPOSIT reports.

This page lets you review the information you have entered to describe the item. To correct or edit information, click on the corresponding button on the right, or use the oval buttons in the progress bar at the top of the page to move around the submission pages. When you are satisfied that the submission is in order, click on the "Next" button to continue.

Click on the "Cancel/Save" button to stop and save your data, or to cancel your submission.

Please take the time to read the terms. Then click on one of the two buttons at the bottom of the page. By clicking on "I grant the license" you agree with the license agreement and your publication will be archived in the system under this condition.

Not accepting the license agreement will not result in your document being deleted. It remains in your personal area "My Deposits". There you have the possibility to delete the publication or, after you have clarified any questions regarding the license agreement, to agree to the license agreement and thus complete the publication.

Now that your submission has been successfully entered into the REPOSIT system, it will go through the workflow process designated for the collection to which you are submitting. Some collections require the submission to go through editing or review steps, while others may immediately accept the submission. You will receive e-mail notification as soon as your item has become a part of the collection, or if for some reason there is a problem with your submission. If you have questions about the workflow procedures for a particular collection, please contact the community responsible for the collection directly. You can track the current status of your submission by going to the "My Deposits" page.

Your document receives so-called persistent identifiers upon publication. These persistent identifiers remain even in the event of migrations and URL changes, thus making your work clearly referenceable and findable.

• DOI: Upon publication, your publication also receives a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), which you can use to reference your work. DOIs are much better known in scientific publishing than URNs. You can integrate the DOI into your document before publication. This is possible in the following collections: Publications with fulltext (publications with fulltext files) and Research Data (publications with fulltext files).

The Handle System is used in the background.

If you are logged into REPOSIT you will find the following under "My Deposits":

• a list of your in-progress submissions - from this list you can resume the submission process where you left off, or you can remove the submission and cancel the item.
• a list of the submissions which you are supervising or collaborating on
• a list of submissions that are awaiting your action (if you have a collection workflow role).
• a link to a list of items that you have submitted and that have already been accepted into REPOSIT.
