Publications 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 begins 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. If your publication is still not appearing on your profile after two weeks, please contact the Librarian Support Team.
