Using My Papers
DeepDyve My Papers (available with our Enterprise Plans) is a personal online repository of journal article PDFs that is accessible only to you. While things you upload into the Research Archive, your team's shared repository, are available to everyone in your DeepDyve account, things you upload into My Papers can be seen only by you.
The first thing you need to use My Papers is an enterprise account. Don't have one? Contact us!
What type of files can be added to My Papers?
- As with the Research Archive, My Papers 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.
- If you purchase a paper 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 or to My Papers.
- If you acquire articles from other sources, follow the upload process below.
