After registration
Registered records will be immediately visible in DiVA, except for full-text files or attachments. These will become visible when they have been reviewed by a DiVA administrator.
The library’s DiVA administrators review all bibliographic data registered in DiVA. The purpose of this is to ensure that DiVA contains correct and complete information about the University employees’ publications.
After reviewing, the information can only be modified by a DiVA administrator. Please contact if you wish to change or add information.
After registration in DiVA, bibliographic information about the publication is exported to SwePub – a database containing references to research publications registered in Swedish university publication databases. SwePub is a collaboration between the Swedish Research Council and the National Library of Sweden. The purpose of SwePub is to form a basis for national information about research and the national analysis of research.
