After you have submitted your paper

When you submit your paper it has to be approved by an administrator at your department (a course administrator or equivalent) before it can be published. This is why it might take a while before you can find it in DiVA.

Change or delete a registered entry

You yourself can not edit an already submitted registration. If you want to change something at a later date, contact the DiVA administrator at your department.

Does your department want to begin publishing student papers in DiVA?

In order to publish student essays/degree projects in DiVA there must be an administrator at your department who checks that each paper has been passed and can approve its publication.

Contact DiVA Helpdesk to book an introduction and to help you get started.

We need to know the names of the people who will act as DiVA administrators, the programmes, subjects, courses and possibly series that you will be registering in DiVA. We can also arrange for your administrators to be informed by e-mail when a new paper has been registered at your department.
