Reports

  • Internal report: Select this document type for reports and similar texts that are NOT intended for publication. Please note that you can post and manage these reports in the form of separate, internal collections on our server. Set the "Relevant for reporting" status to "No".
  • Report: Scientific, statistical, or technical reports that relate to an institute, faculty, or project or research project. Reports are specifically identified by a report number. Please note that we only record published reports.

Patents

  • Patent: The officially issued industrial property right for an invention. When submitting this type of document, the officially issued patent is required to create the definitive, final entry. When you are submitting the published patent application initially, enter the words "Publication of the patent application" in the field "Internal note to library staff". The library staff then assigns the subtype "Publication of the patent application" based on this information. The Center of Patents and Standards, located in the library, automatically notifies the library staff that the patent has been issued. The entry is then amended accordingly by the library staff, the subtype "Publication of the patent application" is removed, and the patent number and year of publication are adjusted. Tip: For German patents, if the letter "C" is added to the patent number, this indicates that the patent has been issued, while the letter "A" indicates that the patent application has been published. Please note: There is a period of 18 months between the filing of a patent application and its publication. Please do not submit patents until they have been published in the form of a patent application.

Other resources

  • Abstract: Synopsis or summary of a scientific article or work.
  • Event: Here you can enter events that you organized and held at RWTH Aachen University or as part of your scientific work at RWTH.
  • News: News items that have been published in newspapers, news tickers, or online blogs.
  • Preprint: Preprint version of an article or work intended for publication that will be submitted for review. In terms of the bibliography, and sometimes the content as well, this version is significantly different from the version that will be published later. Preprints have not (yet) been through the peer-review process.
  • Website: An online presence (as a set of hypertext documents). Websites are an essential part of scientific communication and are also used as references, e.g. by virtual specialized libraries. For websites that you have developed and maintained over a number of years, one entry can be submitted per year.
