In this manual, we explain how to start with creating an article, how to add a summary and a body text, how to add an icon and a banner. To add a Media Item to the Body Text, a Location, Address and Geo Location to the Article, a Hyperlink to the Body Text, a Document to the Article, and Keywords, please follow the manuals that are linked to this text.
Note: you can only add articles if you are the owner of a collection or participant in a workspace. To read more about your rights and access, check the manual Rights and access on Openresearch.
1. Go to the Workspace or Collection where you want to create your article. To read about what happens in creating the articles in the different tabs of the workspaces, go to the manual for Editing the Workspaces.
2. Click on "+Article".
3. A new window will appear asking the name of the article. Please type your title here and then click on "create".
After typing your title, you will see existing content appear on openresearch with the same or a similar title. Before you click on 'create', please check whether the article you want to create has not already been placed on openresearch by another participant or editor. If the item you want to create already exists, click on the item to duplicate it to your collection. This prevents duplication!
