Sharing a publication

Background

As an author, you can share your publications with other authors:

• You can share your publications with author groups you are a member of. After sharing your publication with an author group, the authors of this group will have access to your publication.
• Sharing is allowed for publications you created yourself. For publications of which you are not the owner, the sharing icon will be disabled.

Procedure

To share a publication, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Publications module.
2. Click Share  .
   Result: the Share publication dialog box is opened in which you see the author groups which already have access to this publication. If you didn’t share your publication yet, this list is empty.
3. Select the author group you want to share the publication with and click Ok.
   Result: The authors who are part of this group will have access to your publication. They will, however, not be able to share your publication with other authors. Share  is only activated for publications you are the owner of.
