How to upload a paper
If you would like to upload a paper/publication to wikiprogress, please do so in PDF format. If you would like to create an article based on a paper you have written, please see the write a new article page. To upload a PDF to wikiprogress, see the instructions below:
- Papers, presentations and publications can be uploaded to Wikiprogress as a PDF file only. Wikiprogress cannot accept files in Word format. To convert a .doc to a .pdf file in Microsoft Word, open the file in question, click "save as" and choose "PDF" from the "save as type" drop-down box.
- Click on "Upload file" in the toolbox menu that is located on the left of each page
- Browse for the file that you wish to upload
- Please ensure that the name of the file you are uploading is descriptive. If you are uploading a paper or publication, please ensure the name of the file is the title of the paper/publication.
- In the file description summary explain why you have the copyright for the file; e.g. you created the file or have the right of the copyright holder. You may not upload material for which you do not have the copyright.
- Also, give a brief summary of what this file is, e.g. the authors of the paper, the organization, the year it was published or conference it was presented at etc.
- Your uploaded file will appear in the list of "all uploaded files". However, ideally you will use the uploaded file in an article, e.g. by inserting a link to the file. Directions for this can be found below.
- Please ensure that you add links to all uploaded files (for which you are the author) to your user profile on wikiprogress.
