Boost your #OAscore

You can boost the percentage of your work that's free to read by uploading copies of
paywalled papers to an open repository.

1. 
   First, look through your publications list
   here on Impactstory. Find a publication that doesn't have "[full text]" next to it.
   
2. 
   Go to an open repository like figshare or
   Zenodo and upload
   the paper you've chosen. Here's more detailed instructions.
   
3. Once you've uploaded your (formerly!) paywalled paper, note the new open URL you've created.
   
4. 
   Come back to Impactstory
   and view your publications list. Click on the title of
   the paper you've uploaded. Paste your new open URL into the "Add a link
   to free fulltext"
   field at the top of the page.
   
5. 
   Done! When you view your profile you'll see your new higher score
   (you may need to wait a few seconds for it to recalculate). Tweet it for the world to see!

Publications

Impactstory uses ORCID to find and import your scholarly works.
Are you missing publications on Impactstory? Here's how to fix it.

1.
Get your publications into your ORCID

Since we import from ORCID, if your ORCID is missing articles then so are we.
Visit your ORCID to make sure it's got all your work. If not,
use their Scopus importer to remedy that situation:

2.
Ensure your works are Public on ORCID

Once you've got all your publications on your ORCID, we need to make sure
Impactstory can see them. To do that, make sure their privacy is set to Public.
If not, it's easy to fix:

3.
Re-sync Impactstory ORCID

If you've made any changes to your ORCID, they'll get synced over to Impactstory
automatically within 24 hours. Or if you're feeling like some instant gratification,
you can sync manually from your Settings page: just click the
icon at the top right of the page, then
click "Sync with my ORCID now."
