SAA 2015 tDAR Abstract Project
This year tDAR has partnered with SAA to preserve the meeting abstracts and make the presentations and data used to support them available in tDAR. As a presenter you can access your record in tDAR, edit the metadata, and upload a copy of your paper, presentation, poster, or other supplementary data (up to 3 files/30MB). It is easy, and you can do it on your own from home! Here’s how:
- Register for tDAR.
- Contact us at via email at SAA2015@tdar.org or by phone at (480) 965-1593 and let us know your name, presentation title and how many files you plan to upload (up to 3/30MB).
- We will give you access to the abstract record(s) and email you a voucher to cover the cost of your upload.
- Log-in to tDAR
- Head over to tDAR’s pricing page (core.tdar.org/cart/add)
- Enter your voucher number in the “Redeem Code” field
- Click “Next: Review & Choose Payment Method.” Your credit will be added to your account and you can begin uploading files!
- Navigate to your abstract record, either by locating it from among your resources under the “browse resources ” section of your dashboard (accessed by clicking “dashboard” along the top menu), or by searching for it on the search page.
- From your abstract page, select “edit” from the top menu. You may now add or change any of the metadata or keywords as well as attach a file.
