Using DocuSign for Deposit License Submissions

In order to make OIST’s intellectual output accessible worldwide, authors of published journal articles are asked to sign a one-time Deposit License that allows the OIST Graduate University Library to submit their work into OIST's Institutional Repository (or OISTIR). 
 
Please submit a Deposit License via DocuSign

Starting from this month, we will be using DocuSign to automate and streamline this process. If you have not previously submitted a Deposit License to the Library, please expect to receive an e-mail similar to the following example.


This email is sent to new faculty, researchers, technicians, and staff who may publish an article during their terms of employment.*
