Register publications in DiVA

KTH strives to enhance the visibility of its research, making significant contributions not only to the global scientific community but also ensuring its impact resonates widely within society. Therefore, publications written by researchers in their capacity of KTH employees should be registered in DiVA.

Who should register?

Staff at the library import bibliographic information from Web of Science and Scopus at a regular basis. Publications not covered by these databases must be registered by the authors themselves. The authors can also self-archive a full text of an article in DiVA (check copyright first.)

It is the responsibility of every author to make sure that their own publications are registered in DiVA and that they are correctly registered.

Registering publications

Log into DiVA and register your publications. Please note that help texts can be found in the registration form (marked with a question mark).

You only have to register published papers. If you have unpublished papers connected to your compilation thesis you should register those in DiVA.

To avoid duplicates, check that the publication is not registered already. If you have several publications registered in another database you can import them into DiVA, for example from Web of Science and Scopus.

Would you like to self-archive your publication? First, make sure you have the right to put a copy of your publication in DiVA, see Open policy finder . Please read our open access  pages first. Your pdf will not be visible immediately after uploading it. Staff at the library will check publisher conditions etc, which may take a few days.
