1 When to upload PDF files
You should upload PDF files when:
- you wish to give a calculation or an argument for a statement not already in the literature,
- you wish to give a new calculation or a new argument for a statement already in the literature,
- you need a more sophisticated layout than the Atlas supports.
Uploading PDF files allows users to contribute authored, original content to open-editing pages.
Users are encouraged, e. g. to provide new computations of invariants, new proofs of existing results and even new results.
Please provide your name and institutional address (if applicable) in the PDF file in order to be cited properly.
2 How to upload PDF files
Make sure the PDF file is ready on your local computer.
Insert a link into the page you are writing of the form
- [[Media:Filename.pdf|link text]]
The filename need not coincide with the filename on your local computer: it is the name of the uploaded file in the Manifold Atlas.
The link will appear in red on the page.
Click the link: you are presented with form where you can upload the PDF file from your local computer.
Once you have uploaded a file to the Manifold Atlas, subsequent clicks on the link will open the PDF document for viewing.
To replace a PDF file with a newer version,
- type http://www.map.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/File:Filename.pdf in your browser's address bar.
