Step 7 - Repository Launch and Registration with Harvesters

1. Plan for an official launch, preferably during Open Access week where your institution signs the Open Access Berlin Declaration.
2. Register your repository with as many harvesters as you can.
3. Check that you have enabled all the Google indexing tools.
4. Check that the sitemaps for Google are working.
5. Prepare a plan, as soon as possible, to use the handle service as the default digital object identifier (DOI) service.
