Sometimes, you may wonder why nothing has been done with your output when you upload it to PIMS. You wait for two weeks – the amount of time we ask you to allow for outputs to be reviewed – but it never appears on your staff profile or on the Research Repository. Why is the Repository Team not reviewing your output?
The answer is that you haven’t completed the deposit process. Outputs with the ‘in progress’ status (the default status when you create a new output) are editable by you, so we cannot review them. The Repository Team will only ever review outputs and make them public once you have pressed the ‘Send to Library’ button and the status changed to ‘in review’.
If in doubt, watch our short video below for a quick reminder next time you’re uploading something.
