Is my work openly available on the web as soon as Ive deposited it in Manchester eScholar?
When you deposit scholarly work to Manchester eScholar and set it as open access the uniquely generated URL for that work will go live immediately. This means that anybody with access to the World Wide Web will be able to freely access your work. Newly deposited open access content will also be exposed to external search services like Google Scholar and repository harvesting services like OAIster as soon as they are deposited.
