User:Ipeirotis/Stern WPS migration FAQ


 * What does our dept need to do to link its wps to the archive?

There are two steps:

a. Migrate future submissions: For this, we need to train the person(s) who submit the papers to the working paper series to use the submission interface of the "Faculty Digital Archive (FDA)". Training is very easy, and should not take more than 10-15 minutes. We can also give submission permissions to faculty members that can submit the papers directly to the FDA

b. Migrate existing working papers: We will either use a workstudy for this task, or we will outsource it to some (relatively inexpensive) firm that handles data entry tasks.

Once I have the permission from the department (and a pointer to the person that should be trained), I will coordinate the migration.


 * Can we post a link to the archive, so that updates happen automatically?

This is one of the benefits of the integration with SSRN. Now, when we submit papers to the Faculty Digital Archive as part of the Stern Working Paper Series, the papers will be automatically submitted to SSRN as well.
