Publications in ZORA

As a researcher at the University of Zurich, you are required by the UZH Open Sciences Strategy to publish a complete version of your current publications on the ZORA repository, if the legal situation allows it.

What to deposit in ZORA?

As a rule, a publication in ZORA includes the following components:

Full-text version (post-print or publisher's PDF)
Bibliographic data
Details for the academic report (vary according to publication type)

The list of accepted publication types corresponds to a requirement of the university management. Since the publications in ZORA are automatically transferred to the publication section of the academic reports, the list of publication types can only be extended after consultation with the university management.
