How do I modify a publication?

If you are logged in to the site, use the publications search page to find the publication you wish to edit.

If you have permissions to modify the publication, you will see several links on the left-hand margin:

Edit publication allows you to change the fields associated with the publication -- the author, title, journal, and so on.
Change type allows you to change the publication type. You can also use this page to restrict access to GSRC members or associate the publication with a group.
Upload files allows you to upload additional electronic version of this publication.

(For more detailed instructions, see the question on adding publications -- the screens are essentially the same.)

You will be able to modify a publication record and upload files if either

You are the person who originally created the publication record, or
The publication is associated with a GSRC work-group or SIG, and you are a member of that work-group or SIG.

If neither of these is the case, go to the bottom of the page for the publication, where you will see something like "Posted by Fred Nerfs on September 6th, 1999." Then send email to Fred Nerfs.

The design of the publications facility does not permit regular users to delete publications. This is a design choice that was implemented because once something is published, it should remain in the record of publications.

If you would like a publication deleted because it was accidentally entered twice, please send email to www@gigascale.org
