Using the Research Archive
The DeepDyve Research Archive (available with our Enterprise Plans) is an online repository of journal article PDFs that your team owns. You upload your purchased PDFs (or purchase them through us), and they are available for review, reading, download, and annotation by anyone on your team, right in the browser.
The first thing you need to use the Research Archive is an enterprise account. Don't have one? Contact us!
What type of files can be added to Research Archive?
- Currently the Research Archive accepts only individual PDFs or ZIP files containing PDFs. They can be articles as well as any other PDF content. If you try to import other types of files they will be ignored.
- When you purchase PDFs from a DeepDyve partner, they will show up automatically in your Research Archive.
- If you purchase from a publisher with whom we don't have a relationship, we use a document delivery service to get the article for us. You will get an email from our partner with a link to download your document. You can then add this to the Research Archive in the same way as below.
- If you acquire articles from other sources, follow the upload process below.
Who can add articles to the Research Archive?
For security purposes, all users on an enterprise account default to NOT having the ability to upload articles, except for the account administrator. If you wish to be able to use the upload feature, ask DeepDyve administrator to contact DeepDyve to have this feature turned on for you.
