Document file and format

The submission of a document (dissertation, thesis, scientific publications, etc.) in the digital library is done according to your status. You may be a regular user or a member of the editorial committee. Please refer to one of the categories below depending on your profile.

1. Submission as regular user

You are a regular user of SYNTHESE if your use of the system is limited to consulting the resources available in the different collections. As such, you are not involved in the administration, evaluation, editing of the published content on SYNTHESE.

To submit a resource, you must send it to soumission@haitisynthese.org . Your submission will be evaluated by the editorial committee of SYNTHESE. At the end of this evaluation, you will be notified by e-mail of the acceptance or rejection of the submitted document. Please note that additional information may be required during the evaluation process. Before starting the submission process, make sure the file you wish to submit is on the hard drive of your computer or in a directory on your local network. Then, check if the format of your file is supported by the system.

2. Submission as a member of the editorial committee

You are a member of the editorial board if you participate in one or more tasks of administration, evaluation, revision or edition of the published content. For this purpose, you have two modes of submission in the library :

• The simplified method : to quickly file a document in the library.
• The normal or complete method that requires a more complete edition of the resource to be added to the system.

The direct or simplified submission makes it possible to quickly file a document in the library, particularly the resources being evaluated by the editorial committee of SYNTHESE. The document is assigned to a member of the editorial committee who will evaluate it according to the defined evaluation policies. The normal submission requires a more detailed knowledge of the metadata of the resource to be added (collection, subject, editor, etc.). It relates to resources that have passed the evaluation phase of the editorial committee and are pending publication in the digital library. Besides knowing the destination collection, additional steps will allow you to add further information to better identify and describe your document.
Note : Please choose the simplified method if you are unsure of your choice. You can always request assistance from an administrator.
