Journal articles
Provide each article as a separate PDF, with references contained within. We strongly recommend that your journal's guidelines for authors suggest they provide DOIs for all cited papers that have them.
If the journal's articles will have DOIs assigned to them, some additional work is required to support reference linking, a requirement of our membership in CrossRef. This also enables the display of an article's references on the landing page for that article, in OJS. For reference linking:
We advise you to make reference formatting requirements known to your authors, to make your work easier. The essential requirements are that:
A list of references is provided at the end of each article.
References must be in alphabetical order, or presented as a numbered list.
No line breaks within a reference.
Any reference style is allowable, but whatever is used, it should be used consistently.
Some journals apply a Creative Commons license to all papers. If this is the case, embed the text and, if possible, the graphic, for the applicable license in each paper.

Uploading content
For journals using the OJS review and/or production workflows, journal staff will generally perform the upload and enter additional metadata, as needed.
For journals that do not use OJS workflows, CUL program staff will generally perform the upload. Metadata will be provided by journal staff via an excel template.
