The field Subject Keywords is a controlled vocabulary, meaning that it uses a particular hierarchical system that appears to be based on the Swedish Research Subject Categories. This means that not all terms will be accepted in this field. Learn more about what terms you are allowed input in the Subject Keywords field. You can include other keywords in the Description field (discussed below).

Version details: Indicate whether this deposit is a particular version (e.g., pre-print, post-print, or published version) of an existing work.

Please check with your publisher.
