To best showcase your research work, and assist people to locate your NTRO in a search, in addition to the mandatory details (marked *) , please provide as much information as possible about your NTRO. The following fields are not mandatory, but are important to accurately describe your work to potential future collaborators, PhD students, grant assessors and colleagues.

• Abstract: Please record a detailed description of the work, suitable for reading by both colleagues and the public, free from jargon, and which describes the creative work. This differs from a Research Statement, which is written for academic audit.
• Selecting a Role for each Contributor

Research outputs become visible in the Repository based on their audit status. All records default to private (non-public) when entered into the Repository. Once a Library staff member commences the audit process and changes the status to Approved the record will appear on your Profile. This can take up to five days depending on how many records are waiting to be approved.
