1. What is <strong>Lirias</strong>?<br />

<strong>Lirias</strong> (<strong>Leuven</strong> Institutional Repository and Information Archiving System) is the<br />

institutional repository of the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association. Research output (metadata and<br />

uploaded files) are archived, indexed and (in some cases) digitally distributed.<br />

2. Who has access to <strong>Lirias</strong>?<br />

Everyone has access to <strong>Lirias</strong>, to search the database. However, in order to submit<br />

publications or to make your own list of publications, you need to log on to <strong>Lirias</strong>. For<br />

that you need a u-number. For <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> personnel, the u-number is written at the back<br />

of the personnel card (‘Gebruikersnummer’).<br />

Researchers of the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association automatically have access to <strong>Lirias</strong>. Other<br />

people can apply for a minimal registration in SAP and thus obtain a u-number<br />

(https://admin.kuleuven.be/sab/od/formulier_bestaande_minimaleregistratie).<br />

3. How is <strong>Lirias</strong> Organized?<br />

3.1. Communities<br />

<strong>Lirias</strong> is organized around Communities and Sub-Communities, representing different<br />

organizational levels, such as faculties, departments, labs and research centers as listed<br />

in the organogram of the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association. The lowest entity in <strong>Lirias</strong> is the<br />

collection . This structure allows for a flexible to accommodation of the different needs of<br />

the communities in <strong>Lirias</strong>. Communities can decide on policies such as:<br />

- who contributes content<br />

- whether there will be a review process<br />

- who will have access<br />

- how to organize the workflow - reviewing, editing, metadata<br />

- how to manage the collections<br />

Each community has its own entry page displaying information, news and links reflecting<br />

the interests of that community, as well as a descriptive list of collections within the<br />

community.<br />

Depending on the organizational structure within the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association, the<br />

granularity of these communities and collections might not be as detailed as you would<br />

prefer. However, <strong>Lirias</strong> needs to adhere to the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association organizational<br />

structure and can only attribute researcher to collections to which they are actually<br />

administratively affiliated.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 4<br />

3.2. Collections<br />

Communities can maintain an unlimited number of collections in <strong>Lirias</strong>. Every collection<br />

constitutes part of a community. As a researcher, you are typically associated to the<br />

collections of the department(s) to which you are administratively affiliated. Each<br />

collection contains items (articles, books, abstracts, etc.).<br />

Collections can have different policies and workflows.<br />

Each <strong>Lirias</strong> collection has its own entry page displaying information, news and links<br />

reflecting the interests of users of that collection.<br />

3.3. Handles<br />

Every item/publication in <strong>Lirias</strong> has a unique identifier: its “handle”. This is the string of<br />

characters at the top of the page, which starts with<br />

https://lirias.kuleuven.be/handle/123456789/.<br />

Whenever you contact the Helpdesk or your Local Administrator always refer to this<br />

handle, as this helps to identify the publication about which you have a question.<br />

This is a persistent URL. This means that, unlike most URLs, this identifier will not have<br />

to be changed when the system migrates to new hardware, or when changes are made<br />

to the system. <strong>Lirias</strong> is committed to maintaining the integrity of this identifier so that<br />

you can safely use it to refer to a publication when citing it in publications or other<br />

communications. Our persistent urls are registered with the Handle System, a comprehensive system for<br />

assigning, managing, and resolving persistent identifiers for digital objects and other resources on the Internet.<br />

The Handle System is administered by the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), which<br />

undertakes, fosters, and promotes research in the public interest.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 5<br />

4. Signing on<br />

to <strong>Lirias</strong><br />

In order to sign on to <strong>Lirias</strong> a valid login is required.<br />

First you have to select the institution at which you<br />

work, and then proceed to login with your userid and<br />

password. Your access rights depend on which<br />

organizational units you belong to, and what your<br />

function is. If you believe there are more collections<br />

you should be eligible to deposit in, please contact<br />

your Local Administrator.<br />

Be aware of the fact that, as of March 2012, you can<br />

only add publications to the collection(s) to which you<br />

are affiliated administratively – the research affiliation<br />

has been abandoned.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 6<br />

5. Consulting <strong>Lirias</strong><br />

<strong>Lirias</strong> can be consulted in 2 ways, using “search” or “browse”.<br />

5.1. The Search function in <strong>Lirias</strong>: Simple and Advanced Search<br />

Simple Search<br />

Click on Simple Search and the following menu will<br />

open:<br />

“All of <strong>Lirias</strong>” is set as the default search, but you can<br />

easily adapt this by clicking on the drop-down arrow to<br />

choose a specific collection.<br />

The word(s) you enter in the search box will be searched<br />

against the title, author, subject abstract, series,<br />

sponsor and identifier fields of each record in <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

Advanced search<br />

The advanced search page allows you to specify the fields<br />

you wish to search, and to combine these searches with<br />

the Boolean operator "AND", "OR" or "NOT".<br />

You can restrict your search to a community by clicking on<br />

the arrow to the right of the top box. If you want your<br />

search to encompass all of <strong>Lirias</strong>, leave the box in the<br />

default position.<br />

Then select the field to search in the left hand column and<br />

enter the word or phrase you are searching in the right<br />

hand column. You can select the Boolean operator to<br />

combine searches by clicking on the arrow to the right of<br />

the "AND" box.<br />

Note: You must use the input boxes in order. If you leave<br />

the first one blank your search will not work.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 7<br />

Tips & Tricks for searches in <strong>Lirias</strong><br />

Boolean searching<br />

The following Boolean operators can be used to combine terms. Note that they must be<br />

CAPITALIZED!<br />

AND - to limit searches to find items containing all words or phrases combined with this<br />

operator, e.g.<br />

"cats" and "dogs".<br />

will retrieve all items that contain BOTH the words<br />

OR - to enlarge searches to find items containing any of the words or phrases surrounding<br />

this operator<br />

"cats" or "dogs".<br />

will retrieve all items that contain EITHER the words<br />

NOT - to exclude items containing the word following this operator, e.g.<br />

will retrieve all items that contain the word<br />

"training" EXCEPT those also containing the word "cat".<br />

Parentheses can be used in the search query to group search terms into sets, and operators<br />

can then be applied to the whole set, e.g.<br />

Do not use words such as:<br />

"a", "and" , "are" , "as" , "at" , "be" , "but" , "by" , "for" , "if" , "in" , "into",<br />

"is" ,"it" ,"no" , "not" , "of" , "on" , "or" , "such", "the" , "to" , "was"<br />

Truncation<br />

Use an asterisk (*) after a word stem to get all hits having words starting with that root, for<br />

example:<br />

will retrieve selects, selector, selectman, selecting.<br />

Stemming<br />

The search engine automatically expands words with common endings to include plurals, past<br />

tenses ...etc.<br />

Phrase Searching<br />

To search using multiple words as a phrase, put quotation marks (") around the phrase.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 8<br />

Exact word match<br />

Put a plus (+) sign before a word if it MUST appear in the search result. For instance, in the<br />

following search the word "training" is optional, but the word "dog" must be in the result.<br />

Eliminate items with unwanted words<br />

Put a minus (-) sign before a word if it should not appear in the search results. Alternatively,<br />

you can use NOT. This can limit your search to eliminate unwanted hits. For instance, in the<br />

search<br />

or<br />

you will get items containing the word "training", except those that also contain the word<br />

"cat".<br />

5.2. The Browse Function in <strong>Lirias</strong><br />

Browse allows you to go through a list of publications in<br />

some specified order:<br />

Browse Organizational Units opens the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong><br />

Association organogram, where you can select the<br />

(sub)communities or collections you wish to search in.<br />

Browse by Title allows you to move through an<br />

alphabetical list of all titles of publications in <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

Browse by Author allows you to move through an<br />

alphabetical list of the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association authors of<br />

publications in <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

Browse by Date allows you to move through a list of all<br />

publications in <strong>Lirias</strong> in reverse chronological order.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 9<br />

6. Submitting a publication in <strong>Lirias</strong><br />

6.1. Submitting a publication in <strong>Lirias</strong> in 6 steps<br />

As a logged-in user of <strong>Lirias</strong>, you can submit new publications (called ‘items’). If you are<br />

appointed a delegate in <strong>KU</strong> Loket (for <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> researchers only), you will be able to<br />

submit new items in the collections associated with the person who appointed you as his<br />

or her delegate.<br />

Depending on the collection you are submitting to, your publication will be immediately<br />

visible in <strong>Lirias</strong>, or it will pass through a stage of Quality Control. At any point in the<br />

submission process you can stop and save your work for a later date by clicking on the<br />

"cancel/save" button at the bottom of the page. The data you have already entered will<br />

be stored until you come back to the submission process, and you will be reminded on<br />

your "My <strong>Lirias</strong>" page that you have a submission in process. If somehow you<br />

accidentally exit the submit process, you can always resume from your "My <strong>Lirias</strong>" page.<br />

You can also cancel your submission at any point.<br />

In your “My <strong>Lirias</strong>” page, you click the button “Start a New Submission”, and follow the<br />

steps as described below. Alternatively, you can choose to import several publications in<br />

one go. In that case, click the “Mass Import” button. In both options the first steps are<br />

the same.<br />

At the top of the submit pages you will find 6 buttons representing each step in the<br />

submission process. As you move through the process these ovals will change color.<br />

Once you have started you can also use these buttons to move back and forth within the<br />

submission process by clicking on them. You will not lose data by moving back and forth.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 10<br />

Step 1: Choose Collection<br />

Click on the arrow at the right of the drop-down box to see a list of Collections. Your<br />

administrative affiliation determines the range of collections amongst which you can<br />

choose. If you are a delegate for several collections, you will be able to choose amongst<br />

those. Move your mouse to the collection to which you wish to add your publication and<br />

click. You can only choose one collection.<br />

The choice of a collection is compulsory. When you forget to choose a collection, you will<br />

not be able to proceed.<br />

The choice of collection will determine whether or not your submission will be forwarded<br />

to Quality Control.<br />

If your publication has been published/written at a time when you were not affiliated with<br />

the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association, please select the collection "Non-Association publications".<br />

(If you are denied permission to submit to the collection you choose, please contact your<br />

Local Administrator for more information.)<br />

You must be authorized by a community to submit publications to a collection. If you<br />

would like to submit a publication to <strong>Lirias</strong>, but don't see an appropriate community,<br />

please contact your Local Administrator to find out how you can get your community set<br />

up in <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

Click on the "next" button to proceed, or "cancel/save" button to stop and save or cancel<br />

your submission.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 11<br />

Step 2: External Source or Item from Template<br />

In the first page with descriptive information, two important options are available<br />

“External source” or “Insert item from template”.<br />

External source


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 12<br />

The first option allows you to import information about a publication from an external<br />

database. At the moment, import from ISI Web of Knowledge and PubMed are supported.<br />

In the ISI import, you have the possibility to select one or more of the ISI indexes.<br />

Furthermore, you have the option to perform a query on an author name. Make sure you<br />

specify this query as "AU=(author name)" and that you specify a publication date range<br />

that is narrow enough. A final search option allows you to search for a specific document<br />

type. This is available for both ISI and PubMed.<br />

Clicking the “next” button, will show you all search results. Now you can now select the<br />

record you wish to import. Select by clicking on the buttons in front of each publication<br />

and click “next”, and you will be presented with all the information that was imported for<br />

this publication. The contents of these fields can be adjusted or edited if necessary.<br />

If, however, a search result is not selectable (you cannot click on the buttons in front of<br />

the publications), it implies that <strong>Lirias</strong> already contains a publication with the same ISI or<br />

PubMed ID, possibly imported by one of the co-authors. In that case, make sure your u-<br />

number has been added to the list of authors. Contact the Local Administrator or<br />

As long as the submission process has not been fully executed, no co-author or delegates can<br />

submit this publication from the same source to add it to their publication list. In that case, the<br />

imported publications appear as “Unfinished submissions” in your My-<strong>Lirias</strong> page.<br />

Insert item from template<br />

If you do not wish to import items from an external database, you can choose to submit a<br />

new item making use of one of the predefined item templates.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 13<br />

Each of the templates contains a different selection of descriptive fields.<br />

The following templates are available:<br />

- Journal Article or preprint = for all journal articles<br />

- Book Chapter = for chapters in a book<br />

- Book = for all monographs, as author or editor, or for part of a series<br />

- Conference Paper or Abstract = for all conference proceedings and abstract in so<br />

far as they have not been published in a journal<br />

- Doctoral Thesis = PhD, only pre-2004 or non-<strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> publications (all other<br />

PhDs are automatically retrieved from SAP)<br />

- Review = reviews all belong here, even if they have been published in a journal<br />

- Other item = internal and external reports, translations, science popularization,<br />

and everything else which does not fit into one of the categories above<br />

Click on the "next" button to proceed, or "cancel/save" button to stop and save or cancel<br />

your submission.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 14<br />

Step 3: Describe Your Item<br />

Depending on the template which you have chosen, you will now be presented with<br />

different fields.<br />

The information you fill in here constitutes the metadata record (the information about<br />

your publication) that will enable users to retrieve your item using search engines. The<br />

richer the metadata, the more "findable" your publication will be, so please take the time<br />

to fill in as many fields as are applicable to your publication.<br />

Be aware that fields indicated with * are mandatory.<br />

Author*<br />

This can be a person, organization or service responsible for creating or<br />

contributing to the content of the publication. By clicking on the "Add<br />

More" button you can add as many authors as needed. Through the "look<br />

up" button, you can search within SAP's records for <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association<br />

staff. Always use the look up button for <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association<br />

staff. This ensures the connection of a u-number to an author (so<br />

that the author will see this publication in his/her list), and<br />

gaurantees a uniform spelling of the names. <strong>Manual</strong>ly adding a u-<br />

number is not possible.<br />

At least one author in the author’s list must have a u-number for<br />

the submission to be valid.<br />

With (joint) first or (joint) last author, you can indicate who is/are the<br />

(joint) first or the (joint) last authors of the publication. Corresponding<br />

author indicates who handles correspondence related to the publication.<br />

Title*<br />

Enter the full and proper title. If no title is provided the submission is<br />

not valid.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 15<br />

Please refrain from using punctuation marks, as this results in problems<br />

with the search mode in <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

Other Title(s)<br />

If your publication has one or more valid alternative titles, for instance, a<br />

title in another language or an abbreviation, this title can be entered here.<br />

Date of Publication*<br />

Please fill out the date of publication or public distribution for digital<br />

research output. You can leave out the day and/or month.<br />

Publisher*<br />

Enter the name of the publisher. For an article, there is no need to fill in<br />

the publisher – this information comes with the journal (see “journal and<br />

host document”). For a chapter of a book or a complete book, filling out<br />

the name of the publisher, as it is mentioned on the title page, is<br />

obligatory for all published publications.<br />

Journal & Host Document*<br />

When you have chosen the “Journal Article or preprint” template, the<br />

Journal fields will appear. For other templates, the more generic field "Host<br />

Document" will be available to capture information about the host<br />

document of a certain publication. Host document refers to any bearer of<br />

information: book, proceedings, etc.<br />

As far as concern articles in journals (IT, AT, IT-p and AT-p, WP – see<br />

publication categories), it is not possible to manually enter the journal title<br />

and choose the publication category, this in order to increase the<br />

consistency of information in <strong>Lirias</strong>. You have to look up your journal in the<br />

<strong>Lirias</strong>-database, using the “look up” button inserted next to the journal title<br />

field. In this way the correct and standardized journal title, ISSN,<br />

publisher, publication category and impact factors are inserted into your<br />

record. If you can't locate your journal in the list, contact the Helpdesk to<br />

have your journal added to the database. Be sure to first search on ISSN<br />

or parts of the journal title.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 16<br />

To look for a journal, click the "Look up" button. This button will redirect<br />

you to the following selection screen:<br />

The journal look up page will allow you to specify the following search<br />

filters:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Journal title: either enter the complete title or part of it (be aware of spelling<br />

alternatives, “and” vs. “&” etc.)<br />

ISSN number<br />

Publisher<br />

Sort options: relevance, title, ISSN, doctype and publisher<br />

Order options: ascending and descending<br />

Please take into account following guidelines for completing your journal or<br />

host document information:<br />

For volume, please always use Arabic numbers. For a book in a series, you<br />

can add the number of the book within the series. For issue, please always<br />

use Arabic numbers For pages, please always use the format: firstpagelastpage<br />

e.g. 5-23, 125-160 (use full digits, this makes calculations<br />

easier). All published publications must have the pages or the article<br />

number filled out in order to proceed with the submission.<br />

If your publication is an epub ahead of print, or if your publication is<br />

accepted (and not published yet), fill out the issue field with “epub ahead


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 17<br />

of print” or “accepted”. In this way, this information will also be visible on<br />

your publication list.<br />

Book Series<br />

In the Book or Chapter in a book template, you can fill out all information<br />

pertaining to the series in which the book has been published.<br />

(Book) Series Editors<br />

Allows you to fill out the names of the editors of the series (not the editors<br />

of single volume !).<br />

Conference*<br />

If you selected the Conference Paper or Abstract template, the conference<br />

fields can store information related to a conference or event where this<br />

paper was presented. Please note that all these fields are free text fields<br />

and that they are not validated in any way. However, when your<br />

conference papers has been published, the fields “Conference Name”,<br />

“Location” and “Date” need to be filled out.<br />

Identifiers<br />

Please fill in all the identifiers that apply. Click on the arrow to the right of<br />

the input box, and select from one of the choices in the drop down menu.<br />

If a publication has more than one identifier, add through “Add more”. "..<br />

Identifiers can be:<br />

ISSN-ISBN-URL-DOI-PubMed ID<br />

Other - A unique identifier assigned to the item using a<br />

system different from the specified ones.<br />

Open AIRE Project ID<br />

Some researchers having received an ERC grant are obliged to provide<br />

their publications resulting from this source as Open Access. In order to<br />

ensure that these papers are harvested and made visible by OpenAIRE<br />

(http://www.openaire.eu/) it is mandatory that the project to which the


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 18<br />

publications is related be selected. Clicking the “Select from List” button<br />

provides all projects for which an Open Access obligation is set.<br />

Publication Status*<br />

This field shows the status of your publication: submitted, accepted, or<br />

published. Later additions or corrections are allowed.<br />

Epub ahead of print is considered as an accepted publication, not a<br />

published item.<br />

DOC Type*<br />

<strong>Lirias</strong> is built around a number of predefined publication categories, DOCtypes.<br />

The available choices of DOCtypes depend on the template you<br />

chose. For the “Journal Article or Preprint” template the DOCtype has been<br />

selected for you. If you believe the wrong DOCtype is associated with the<br />

Journal you selected, please contact the Helpdesk. For all other templates,<br />

you are free to indicate the DOCtype, respecting the definitions of the<br />

publication categories (for these categories, see:<br />

http://www.kuleuven.be/research/bibliometrics/list_output.html<br />

Virtual collection<br />

Virtual collections are collections that do not appear in the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong><br />

Association organogram – hence they are virtual. These collections<br />

generally group researchers from several departments working on a<br />

common theme. Virtual collections can be added to <strong>Lirias</strong> upon simple<br />

request to the Helpdesk.<br />

Select the virtual collection to which you would like to add your<br />

publication. To select more than one value in the list or deselect all values<br />

in the list, you hold down the "CTRL" or "Shift" key.<br />

Contains*<br />

It is mandatory to select the types of documents that are included in the<br />

submission. If no files are attached, please select "description only".


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 19<br />

To select more than one value in the list, you hold down the "ctrl" or "shift"<br />

key.<br />

Language<br />

Select the language of the main content of your publication.<br />

If your publication is not a text document and language is not applicable as<br />

description, then just keep the N/A choice.<br />

Subject/Keywords<br />

You can enter as many subject keywords as are appropriate to describe<br />

the publication, from the general to the specific. The more words you<br />

provide, the more likely it is that users will find your publication in their<br />

searches. Use one input box for each subject word or phrase. You can add<br />

more input boxes by clicking on the "add more" button. Examples:<br />

Your community may suggest the use of a specific vocabulary, taxonomy,<br />

or thesaurus. If this is the case, please select your subject words from that<br />

list.<br />

Other description<br />

Any other information describing the publication you are submitting or<br />

comments that may be of interest to users of the publication can be<br />

submitted here.<br />

Click on the "next" button to proceed, or "cancel/save" button to stop and save or cancel<br />

your submission.<br />

Step 4: Upload a File<br />

You can choose not to upload a file, but realize that by doing so, you will have a<br />

publication with metadata only and this dilutes the concept of a repository. And if for<br />

some reason you can't upload the main file for this publication, upload related files. For<br />

instance full data sets and other relevant extra material not included in the original<br />

publication.<br />

Please enter the name of the file on your local hard drive corresponding to your<br />

publication.<br />

Alternatively, click "Browse...", and a new window will appear in which you can locate<br />

and select the file on your local hard drive.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 21<br />

The field Contains is a mandatory field – the drop down allows to choose from a list of<br />

typical document types (article, preprint etc.).<br />

The information you provide in File Description will help users to understand what<br />

information is in each file, for instance, "main article" or "images" or "computer program"<br />

or "data set".<br />

The file status option determines whether you will be able to replace your publication in<br />

the future. Once your file has been uploaded as Published, you will not be able to alter it.<br />

The file availability option allows you to configure online visibility and availability for your<br />

file. Public files will be available to all visitors. Intranet files will only be available to <strong>KU</strong><br />

<strong>Leuven</strong> Association logged in members. Private files will only be available for authors of<br />

the publication. Embargo files will be the same as intranet files until the end of the<br />

embargo, after which date the publications become publicly available.<br />

If you wish to upload the full text of journal articles, you will automatically see the link to<br />

the journal’s publisher or to the corresponding page in Sherpa ROMEO, the database<br />

which regist<br />

ers the archiving and copyright policy for numerous journals and publishers. Always<br />

check this policy before you decide to make your files publicly available (= Open<br />

Access).<br />

After you have uploaded a file, check the information in the table to make sure it is<br />

correct. There are two further ways to verify that your files have been uploaded<br />

correctly:<br />

<br />

<br />

Click on the filename. This will download the file in a new browser window, so that<br />

you can check the contents.<br />

Compare the file checksum displayed here with the checksum you calculate.<br />

<strong>Lirias</strong> generates an MD5 checksum for every file it stores; we use this checksum internally to verify the<br />

integrity of files over time (a file's checksum shouldn't change). You can use this checksum to be sure what<br />

we've received is indeed the file you've uploaded.<br />

If you wish to verify the file using checksums, click "Show checksums" on the "Uploaded File" page. The <strong>Lirias</strong>generated<br />

MD5 checksum for every file we've received from you will show to the right of the filename. You will<br />

then need to use a local program to generate your own checksum for these files, and verify that your results<br />

match ours. On most UNIX-like systems (including Mac OS X), use md5sum. For instance, type "md5sum<br />

MYFILE" for every file you want to check; the summary should print on your screen. For Windows machines,<br />

MD5 tools are freely available: try md5 (from http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/), or md5sum, available via the<br />

textutils package in Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). All of these utilities will need to be run from a<br />

command-line, or terminal, window. The entire digest printed out when you run the md5 tool on your local copy<br />

of the file you're uploading should be exactly equal to what <strong>Lirias</strong> reports.<br />

To properly archive and give access to a file, we need to know what format it is, for example "PDF", "HTML", or<br />

"Microsoft Word". If the system does not automatically recognize the format of the file you have uploaded, you<br />

will be asked to describe it. If the format of the file appears in the list offered, click on it and then on "Submit".<br />

If you can't see the format in the list, click on "format not in list" and describe the format in the text box lower


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 22<br />

down on the page. Be sure to give the name of the application you used to create the file and the version of<br />

that application, for example "Autodesk AutoCAD R20 for UNIX".<br />

For more information about file formats, see <strong>Lirias</strong> Supported Formats.<br />

Once the correct file name is in the input box, click on the "next" button to proceed.<br />

Step 5: Verify Submission<br />

This page lets you review the information you have entered to describe the publication.<br />

To correct or edit information, click on the corresponding button on the right, or use the<br />

oval buttons in the progress bar at the top of the page to move around the submission<br />

pages. When you are satisfied that the submission is in order, click on the "Next" button<br />

to continue.<br />

Click on the "Cancel/Save" button to stop and save your data, or to cancel your<br />

submission.<br />

Step 6: Grant the distribution license<br />

<strong>Lirias</strong> requires agreement to this non-exclusive distribution license before your<br />

publication will be visible. Please read the license carefully. If you have any questions,<br />

contact your Local Administrator.<br />

Now that your submission has been successfully entered into the <strong>Lirias</strong> system, it will go<br />

through the workflow process designated for the collection to which you are submitting.<br />

Some collections require the submission to go through editing or review steps, while<br />

others may immediately accept the submission. You will receive e-mail notification as<br />

soon as your publication has become a part of the collection, or if for some reason there<br />

is a problem with your submission. If you have questions about the workflow procedures<br />

for a particular collection, please contact the community responsible for the collection<br />

directly. You can check the status of your submission by going to the “My <strong>Lirias</strong>” page.<br />

When your publication becomes a part of the <strong>Lirias</strong> repository it is assigned a persistent<br />

URL, or handle. Please always mention this url when contacting your administrator or the<br />

helpdesk.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 23<br />

After a publication has been submitted to <strong>Lirias</strong>, and processed by the Quality Controllers<br />

(depending on which collection the publication was submitted to), you can still perform<br />

changes to the information in the record, or add more files<br />

To do this, navigate to one of your publications either through the search or browse<br />

functionality, or through the "View My Items" button on your "My <strong>Lirias</strong>" page. When you<br />

are logged in, you will be able to see the “edit” button, if you are listed as one of the<br />

publication’s authors.<br />

Only limited changes to the author information are available though. If you perform<br />

changes to the descriptive fields, make sure to save these changes before uploading<br />

additional files. When you choose to upload a file, before saving, your changes will be<br />

lost.<br />

Be aware that some changes can only be made by the <strong>Lirias</strong> Administrators or the<br />

Helpdesk.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 24<br />

6.2. Mass Import of publications in <strong>Lirias</strong><br />

Instead of importing publications one by one (External Source), you can also opt to import<br />

several items from PubMed or ISI at once. Under “My <strong>Lirias</strong>” you click the “Mass Import”<br />

button.<br />

The subsequent steps are similar to the procedure outlined above. The only difference<br />

being that when you have opted for “Mass Import”, based on your search query a number<br />

of publications will be available for selection. You can select multiple publications and<br />

prepare them for import by clicking the “Import All Checked Records” button.<br />

The imported record overview will then show you the selection of records you made in the<br />

previous step. You are now able to remove some of these records from the selection or<br />

open them in order to start the submission process.


7. My <strong>Lirias</strong><br />

October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 25<br />

The following buttons are available on the My <strong>Lirias</strong> page:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Start a New Submission: This buttons allows you to add new publications to <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

Clicking it will redirect you to the submission process.<br />

Mass Import: The mass import button redirects you to the mass import feature that<br />

allows you to import multiple publications from ISI Web of Knowledge or PubMed.<br />

View My Items: This button redirects you to a page with all the publications to which<br />

your u-number has been linked.<br />

View Items Submitted under My Login: This button redirects you to a page with an<br />

overview of all the approved publications that were submitted using your login –<br />

implying that you or your delegate submitted these publications.<br />

<br />

View Unvalidated: Validation is necessary for publications that have been imported<br />

automatically. <strong>Lirias</strong> uses intelligent algorithms to import publications from external<br />

sources, such as PubMed. However occasional errors in these external sources exist<br />

– for example author names are misspelled or falsely attributed to a publication. This<br />

is why the validation process gives you the opportunity to confirm or decline whether<br />

a certain publication has been authored by you. At the same time, you can confirm<br />

whether the publication is <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association affiliated and edit the metadata<br />

(such as publication date, journal, …).<br />

After clicking on “view unvalidated” you are presented with a list of publications that<br />

have been automatically imported. For each of the publications, you are presented with<br />

following options when clicking on them.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Edit: allows you to edit any of the data associated with this publication.<br />

Approve: approves the publication in its current form and commit the publication to<br />

<strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

Not mine: removes you as an author of this publication but leaves all other data<br />

intact.<br />

<strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association publication: A publication is considered <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association<br />

affiliated if substantial work on this publication has been done under <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong><br />

Association affiliation and if at least one of the authors was affiliated to <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong>


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 26<br />

Association at the time of acceptance of the publication. The <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association<br />

affiliation should be clearly mentioned on the publication.<br />

Please make sure to check that the publication’s data are correct before accepting.<br />

Editing afterwards is only possible through the Local Administrator of your department.<br />

Within the “edit” screen, you have the possibility to manually edit all the publication’s<br />

details. Please do this with great care, especially when updating author information for<br />

other authors.<br />

If a large number of publications were imported, you have the option to remove a group<br />

of publications that are not yours, in one action. When you click “flag multiple<br />

publications as Not Mine” you will be able to mark a checkbox next to all the publications<br />

that are not yours. With one press on the button, they will be removed from your<br />

validation list.<br />

After approving a publication, the publication will be visible in My <strong>Lirias</strong> as one of your<br />

own publications. To ensure consistency, further editing of the fields is only possible by<br />

your Local Administrator.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 27<br />

8. Delegating in <strong>Lirias</strong><br />

Just like other delegations, <strong>Lirias</strong> delegations can be configured from within <strong>KU</strong> Loket.<br />

Contact the Helpdesk if you need help with this.<br />

If you are a delegate for one or more researchers, you have the following possibilities in<br />

<strong>Lirias</strong>:<br />

<br />

Submit to the researcher's collection<br />

When you login to <strong>Lirias</strong>, you will automatically have the authorization to submit<br />

publications to the collection(s) the researcher who delegated you in <strong>KU</strong>Loket<br />

belongs to. When you click on Start a new submission, the dropdown list in the<br />

next screen will contain the collection(s) you are authorized for.<br />

<br />

<br />

The button View my items, will show an empty list, unless you also submitted<br />

publications as an author.<br />

The button View items submitted under my login will give a list of all publications<br />

that you submitted and that are accepted in <strong>Lirias</strong> (in case there is quality control).<br />

So this list might contain the publications of several authors if you submitted for<br />

more than one author. Please note that publications validated and/or submitted by<br />

the researchers themselves are not contained in this list.<br />

The button Login as gives you the possibility to login under the name of your delegator<br />

without using his/her <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> userid and password. For this function to work, the<br />

delegator has to be registered in <strong>Lirias</strong> (this means he/she must have logged in at least<br />

once). If not, the delegate gets the message: “Authorization required“. In this case,<br />

registration can be requested via the <strong>Lirias</strong> Helpdesk. After logging in, you have the<br />

same options as the researcher who delegated you<br />

<br />

<br />

View my items: will show a list of all publications of this author, validated and<br />

unvalidated. Please note that the unvalidated publications, shown in this list, will not<br />

be shown in the publication list of the author.<br />

View items submitted under my login will only show the publications the researcher<br />

submitted to <strong>Lirias</strong> (and/or you, logged in as this researcher).


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 28<br />

9. Generating Bibliographies (Publication lists) in <strong>Lirias</strong><br />

<strong>Lirias</strong> offers you the possibility to generate bibliographies (publication lists).<br />

You can include publications in your lists as soon as they are added and approved in <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

To access the bibliography functionality, make sure you are logged in and click<br />

"Bibliography" in the menu bar.<br />

The process of creating a bibliography is characterized by three important steps:<br />

- choosing what configuration to use<br />

- deciding which publications to include in your list (Filters)<br />

- determining how these publications should look like (Settings).<br />

At the top of each bibliography page you will find 4 buttons representing the phases in<br />

creating your bibliography. As you move through the process the locks on the button will<br />

disappear. At the end of your configuration, you can easily navigate back to the previous<br />

phases by clicking the bullets in the progress bar.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 29<br />

9.1. Create New or Choose Configuration (Load)<br />

Upon clicking the "Bibliography" link in the Generate menu, you are presented with four<br />

options.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Predefined Configuration: Use a configuration that has been predefined by <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

Personal Configuration: Use a configuration that you created and saved earlier. This<br />

option will only be available if you have already created and saved a personal<br />

configuration.<br />

Create new Configuration: Create a new configuration, specifying your own filters<br />

and layout.<br />

Remove existing configuration: Remove a personal configuration.<br />

When you choose a predefined or existing personal configuration, you will be automatically<br />

directed to step 4. However, in step 4 you can easily move back across steps 2 and 3.<br />

The following predefined configurations are currently provided in <strong>Lirias</strong> – most of these are<br />

meant to be used when applying for research funding through the Research Coordination<br />

Note that you cannot save over predefined configurations, however you can load and edit a<br />

predefined configuration and save the changes in a personal configuration.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 31<br />

If you have opted to create a new configuration, you are being directed to step 2:<br />

9.2. Specify Filter(s)<br />

In this step you specify which publications should be included in your listing.<br />

Pressing the button creates a new filter, pressing the button removes a filter. The<br />

following filters are available, meaning that you can make selections for these fields:<br />

Timespan: Filter on publications between a given start and end date<br />

Contributor: Filter on publications by specific contributors, whom you can look up<br />

using the lookup feature.<br />

Keyword: Filter on Subject Keywords. (Use a term, exactly as it was entered in the<br />

field "Subject Keywords")<br />

Publication Type: Filter on the publication types (Articles, Books, ...)<br />

Publication Status: Filter on publications’ status (Submitted, Accepted, Published)<br />

Organizational Unit: Filter on a <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association organizational Unit, as<br />

presented in the structure of <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

Virtual Collection: Filter on a virtual collection<br />

private or Open Acess (public)<br />

Extended Publication Types: Filters on characteristics of the publications (indexed in<br />

Web of Science (“ISI identifier”), acknowledged by the VABB/GP (“VABB type”), or<br />

“other”)


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 32<br />

9.3. Choose Settings<br />

“Settings” allows you to edit the layout of your bibliography and also the grouping and<br />

sorting of your publications. You also get look at how your bibliography will look like with<br />

the settings you have chosen.<br />

You can modify different items of the layout.<br />

Edit Title<br />

You can edit the titles of the document and its separate parts (which by<br />

default is set to “Bibliography”, “IT (articles…”)) by clicking on the white<br />

space or the pencil sign.<br />

Exclude Items<br />

If you do not wish to include certain publications in your bibliography, you<br />

can "exclude" these by clicking on them. Excluded publications will be<br />

shown in grey. These will not appear on your list of publications, but are<br />

not deleted in <strong>Lirias</strong>.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 33<br />

October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 34<br />

When sorting by date, all items are first chronologically sorted (ascending or<br />

descending) and within each equal period (year or year and month), titles are<br />

arranged alphabetically.<br />

Layout<br />

After defining the groups for your bibliography, you may want to change<br />

the default layout, or create separate layouts for each group.<br />

You can access the layout for your publications when you are in the<br />

‘Settings’ menu by pressing the layout tab on the side or the layout button<br />

at the bottom of the page.<br />

Each layout is represented by a yellow rectangle and each group (e.g.<br />

publication type) by a grey rectangle. Both layouts and groups can be<br />

dragged and dropped in the interface. You can thus easily manage your<br />

personal layout. Layouts can be deleted by dragging them to the trashcan.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 35<br />

Within the layout window new layouts can be created by clicking the<br />

"Create New" button at the bottom of the page.<br />

Existing layouts can be removed by dragging them to the trash can at the<br />

11. Making graphs & using statistics<br />

<strong>Lirias</strong> provides you with the possibility to<br />

generate graphs and stats, in the sense<br />

that automated counts on collections can<br />

be performed and visualized in a graph.<br />

The graphs and stats module is only<br />

available to users who are logged in,<br />

under the "Generate" header in the left<br />

navigation sidebar. The module always<br />

uses the actual updated data in <strong>Lirias</strong>,<br />

enabling updated graphs and statistics.<br />

Be aware of the fact that, when large<br />

collections are being selected, it can take<br />

a while before the graph gets generated.<br />

The module is composed of three parts:<br />

the Graph Data settings, the (visual)<br />

options and the graph itself.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 41<br />

11.1. Graph Data Settings<br />

The graph data settings allow you to specify the axis values and category values for the<br />

graph you wish to generate.<br />

The Y-axis always displays the number of publications. The axis values determines how<br />

the publications are grouped (e.g. by date) while the category values determines how<br />

each group is subdivided (e.g. by publication type).<br />

When you select one of the options as the axis values, the option becomes unavailable<br />

for category values, because you need a different property for categories and for axis.<br />

The options are:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Date a straightforward date range, based on the publication dates of publications.<br />

Organizational Units represent communities and collections in <strong>Lirias</strong> (and those<br />

reflect the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Association organogram).<br />

Publication Type represents the different DOC publication types.<br />

In general, it is optimal to use Date or Publication type as axis values, and organizational<br />

units as category values. To illustrate the difference between axis values and categories,<br />

here are two examples. In the first example, “date” has been selected for the axis<br />

values, and “organizational units” for the categories. In the second example, the same


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 42<br />

selections of “date” and “organizational units” were activated, but “date” was selected as<br />

categories, and “organizational units” as axis values.<br />

The advanced filters allow you to exclude selections of publications in the counts.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 43<br />

Uploaded File Filter allows you to limit the counted publications to those who have an<br />

uploaded file (such as full-text), or no files at all, attached to them.<br />

Specific Date or Date Range allows you to specify date, if you would have opted for<br />

organizational units and publication types as categories and axis.<br />

Specific Impactfactor Range allows you to specify an impact factor range filter. It is<br />

possible to define an impact factor range for both the publication year and the most recent<br />

impact factor.

11.2. Visual Options<br />

The Graph Visual options allow you to set<br />

specific parameters for the graph's layout:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Title: Set a title for your graph<br />

Label1: Set a label for your Y axis<br />

(vertical)<br />

Label2: Set a label for your X axis<br />

(horizontal)<br />

Width: Specify the Width of your graph<br />

image (in pixels). This includes the space<br />

for the category labels.<br />

Height: Specify the Height of your graph<br />

image (in pixels)<br />

Graph type: Select between one of the<br />

different graph layout options.<br />

Stacked graph types are often useful when compiling a graph of different departments<br />

within an organizational unit, but can get quite confusing in other cases.<br />

You can experiment with certain settings and render your graph. All settings will be<br />

stored, so you can easily make changes and generate a new graph.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 45<br />

11.3. Modifying and Downloading the Graph<br />

When you initially open the graphs and stats module, you are presented with an empty<br />

graph window.<br />

After you generate a graph, the size of the graph<br />

window will be adjusted and filled with content. You<br />

can right-click and save, to store the graph image.<br />

The graph is also an interactive image: clicking on a<br />

certain column gives an actual listing of the<br />

publications, represented by the column. To save the<br />

data behind the graph, click the “download zipper<br />

spreadsheet” button.<br />

If text such as categories, labels, etc. is not properly<br />

displayed, you can always try to increase the width<br />

or height of the graph. At the lower right of the<br />

graph box, you can also see a link where you can<br />

download the data in a spreadsheet format for<br />

further analysis.

12. “Manage My CV”<br />

The “Manage My CV” functionality enables <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> researchers to customize their<br />

publication lists in the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Who-is-Who registry.<br />

To configure your CV settings, login to <strong>Lirias</strong> and click "Manage My CV". This option<br />

allows you to publish your publication list on Who-is-Who with the layout you selected<br />

from the Bibliography module, without citations and impact factors however. You have<br />

the option to either apply filters, as specified in your bibliography configuration, or to<br />

show all of your publications in <strong>Lirias</strong>, and this according to the layout, grouping and<br />

sorting of the chosen bibliography configuration.<br />

The choice of configuration determines how your list of publications will look on the <strong>KU</strong><br />

<strong>Leuven</strong> “who-is-who” pages!


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 47<br />

Under Configuration you can choose which Bibliography configuration you want to use.<br />

<br />

<br />

Predefined configurations are configurations that have been defined in <strong>Lirias</strong>. If you<br />

would like to use one of these configurations, but you require small changes, you can<br />

always load the configuration in the bibliography module, apply the changes, and<br />

save it as a personal configuration.<br />

Personal configurations are configurations that you have created and saved, in the<br />

bibliography module.<br />

Filter Preferences allow you to select whether to use the filters, as specified in the<br />

configuration, or to override those filters by just selecting all your publications in <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

The Show preview link will show you how the list will look. Immediately after you save,<br />

the changes will be visible in the <strong>KU</strong> <strong>Leuven</strong> Who-is-Who registry.<br />

Note that the display of impactfactors and citation counts on the who-is-who pages is not<br />

allowed!

13. Generating Publication Links<br />

The “Generate Publications Link” functionality enables you to generate a link, through<br />

which visitors can access (a selection of) your publications. You can refer to this link from<br />

within your own website, or you can embed the page in your website, using an Iframe.<br />

To generate a publications link, click on "Generate publications link", after logging in to<br />

<strong>Lirias</strong>. The basic principle is that, when clicking on the link you created, your publications<br />

will be shown on a list conforming to one of the layouts from the Bibliography module.<br />

You have the option to either apply the filters, as specified in your Bibliography<br />

configuration, or to show all of your publications in <strong>Lirias</strong>, according to layout, grouping<br />

and sorting of the bibliography configuration.<br />

Under Configuration you can choose which of the Bibliography configurations you would<br />

like to use.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 49<br />

<br />

<br />

Predefined configurations are configurations that have been defined in <strong>Lirias</strong>. If you<br />

would like to use one of these configurations, but you require small changes, you can<br />

always load the configuration in the bibliography module, apply the changes, and<br />

save it as a personal configuration.<br />

Personal configurations are configurations that you have created and saved, in the<br />

bibliography module.<br />

Filter Preferences allow you to select whether to use the filters, as specified in the<br />

configuration, or to override those filters by just selecting all your publications in <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

The Show preview link will show you how the list will look. Each time you change one of<br />

the preferences the "example link" will be updated, you can see the generated page by<br />

clicking on it.<br />

Display publications as ... allows you to display the individual publications on your list as<br />

lines of text or as hyperlinks that link directly to the publication information in <strong>Lirias</strong>.<br />

Example link always reflects the changes you have made in the configuration. These are<br />

the final links that you can use in other applications.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 50<br />

14. Generating Spreadsheets<br />

Using the Generate Spreadsheet link in the <strong>Lirias</strong> navigation, you can generate a<br />

spreadsheet that contains publications from <strong>Lirias</strong>, and their descriptive fields. You can<br />

use this spreadsheet for advanced filtering, searching or reporting. The spreadsheet itself<br />

is a UTF-8 encoded excel file.<br />

The spreadsheet generation process follows the following steps:<br />

14.1. Loading: Create New or Choose Configuration<br />

This step will only be visible if you have already saved or created a configuration<br />

“Choose or define new configuration” allows you to choose an existing spreadsheet<br />

configuration, create or delete an existing configuration.<br />

In all other cases, you will immediately be directed to the page where you can set your<br />

filters.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 51<br />

14.2. Specify Filter(s)<br />

Specify filter(s) allows you to specify a number of filters to apply when generating your<br />

spreadsheet. The following filters can be applied:<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

Timespan<br />

Contributor<br />

Publication Type<br />

Publication Status<br />

Keyword<br />

Virtual Collection<br />

Organizational Unit<br />

Adding or removing filters can easily be done using the green and red buttons to the right of<br />

each filter.<br />

Be aware! If the spreadsheet is too large (more than 10.000 publications-after applying<br />

the filters, you will get a notification that will ask you to change your filter settings.<br />

Alternatively you can opt to have your results queued to be generated at night. You will<br />

then receive an email with the spreadsheet attached.<br />

14.3. Save Settings<br />

Save Current Settings: You can save the current settings by giving them a specified name.<br />

Next time you want to export a spreadsheet, this personal configuration will be amongst<br />

the options you can choose (cf. 12.1).


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 52<br />

14.4. Download<br />

If the filters are properly configured, you will be able to download the generated<br />

spreadsheet.

15.3. The Helpdesk<br />

The <strong>Lirias</strong> Helpdesk can be contacted by mail. Just click on the “Helpdesk” button and a<br />

registration screen will open. Please fill out the heading (“I have a question, remark,<br />

suggestion about:”), as this helps us to assign the questions to the people working the<br />

helpdesk.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 54<br />

Upon submitting your question, you will receive an automatic email stating that your<br />

“ticket” (= your question to the Helpdesk) has been received and has been assigned a<br />

number. Upon subsequent contacts with the Helpdesk, it is useful to mention this number<br />

as it allows us to quickly retrieve your original question.<br />

We answer your questions as soon as possible.<br />

- changes to a collection to which the publication belongs<br />

15.4. Your Local Administrator & Quality Administrator<br />

Many collections have a Local Administrator (called Collection Admins) and a Reviewer<br />

(called Quality Administrator). You can see who in your department takes up this function<br />

when you go the home page of your collection (using “Browse Organizational Units”). On<br />

the lower right you find two windows mentioning who are your Collection Admin and your<br />

Quality Admin.


October 8, 2012 [LIRIAS MANUAL] 55<br />

The Quality Administrator checks whether the publication you have submitted to <strong>Lirias</strong> is<br />

correct and complete. In case this is not so, he/she can reject your submission stating what<br />

information is missing and you can resubmit the item.<br />

Your Local (or Collection) Administrator can make limited changes to those publications in<br />

the collections for which she/he is responsible only. These include:<br />

- linking u-numbers<br />

- changing the title of journals<br />

- check duplicates and merge them when applicable<br />

- modify publication categories within a template<br />

Please always check first with your Collection Administrator before contacting the Helpdesk.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
