General tools rely on authors self-submitting and providing the file (either Publisher PDF or AAM). Has a wide swath of options to integrate with repositories.
Share your Paper: Bulk Checker
Pros
Checks permissions and consolidates information: Deposit statements, licenses, Journal and publisher info, and embargos.
Great for identifying low hanging fruit from large databases (sorting the Publisher PDF articles that can be added to SW from all of our Faculty Publications as reported by Web of Science)
Great for manual processes in identifying what is needed before reaching out to Faculty for either Author’s accepted manuscripts or permission to include files.
Cons
Long deposit statements may be truncated due to field length.
List may return Journal or Publisher permissions when there may be an article specific permission in play
The spreadsheet can get corrupted, especially if you delete old doi’s. If that happens you just get a new spreadsheet/bulk checker document.
