The publications tab lists the:

  • project publications: shows the publications which the Consortium has confirmed as linked to the project


In case a publication linked to the project is not listed in the ‘Suggested’ table, you can manually add it in the ‘Project publications’ table.

Suggested publications from OpenAIREActions

OpenAIRE suggests publications, which you can (see actions):

  • import: which makes the publication appear in the project publications list (see below)
  • discard: which makes the publication disappear from the list of suggested publications from OpenAIRE

Importing a publication

  • Click on a publication to open up the publication

    Please verify the information about the publication and update where necessary and complete the missing fields. If an existing DOI hasn't been imported from OpenAIRE, it is recommended to start by specifying it. Please note that data imported through OpenAIRE or linked to the DOI are read-only.

  • then click the button

(warning) Please note that:

  • Each time a beneficiary answers with "No" the question on whether a publication is in open access a warning message should appear with the following text: "In H2020 (see article 29.2 of the grant agreement) beneficiaries must ensure open-access to all peer-reviewed scientific publications relating to the results of the project. Check more information in this link to the Funding & Tenders Portal)."

The format of the "Year of publication" for a publication is checked and validated by the system: the year has to use 4 digits and, to be valid, a publication must have been/be published after the beginning of the project and maximum two years in the future. 
(warning) Please note that for some Types of Action, it is allowed to add a publication that has been published 3 years before the start year of the project. That is why, if this is not allowed for your type of Action, please make sure that your publication has been/will be published after the start year of the project.

(warning) For ERC only: two additional fields are added to the 'New/Edit publication' pop-up, the 'Project publications' table and the printed PDF: 

  1. "Name project team members that are in the author's list (excluding the Principal Investigator)" - the user can add names (comma-separated) but those names (if any) must already be present in the authors' list (optional field)
