Publication Types

When should a publication be submitted to ZORA?

When it is first published by the publisher - this can be online (e.g. electronic publication before final or printed publication).

Which types of publications are unsuitable for ZORA?

In general, ZORA does NOT accept the following publications:

• Abstracts (conference papers published as abstracts only).
• Blog posts
• Scripts/teaching materials
• Internal, unpublished research reports and papers (e.g., internal research reports to funders, commissions, or offices)
• Pre-publications (pre-prints) that have not yet been published and are precursors to subsequent publishing publications (e.g. from arXiv, MedRxiv, bioRxiv, etc.)
• Posters
• Powerpoint presentations from conferences
• Conference papers and presentations that are not published
• Articles in newspapers that are not listed in the guidelines
• Pure translations without annotations
• Bachelor theses

Are “response to letters to the editor”, “comments to the editor”, etc. included in ZORA?

Yes, if they were published in one of the publication types in the guide, typically as a journal article or book section. They are usually considered "further contribution", not "original article". If the submitter indicates "non-refereed", even if the journal as such is considered refereed, the ZORA editors leave this indication (non-refereed). Reason: such publications are in fact often non-refereed, even if they appear in a refereed journal.
