Filenames used on SUNScholar

  • The first vital thing about preservable digital objects is to use the correct file naming procedures.
  • The whole filename must be in small caps and have no spaces.
  • Spaces must be replaced with dashes (-).
  • There cannot be any other formatting characters such as ()#/ etc...

Convert your document or file to an open format first. See below.

Then use the following file naming convention:

authorname-firstwordoftitle-2012.docx

or if saving as a pdf file, which is preferred:

authorname-firstwordoftitle-2012.pdf

or if saving as an xml file, which is preferred:

authorname-firstwordoftitle-2012.xml

All the MSWord files (or other file formats) need to be converted to pdf for submission to SUNScholar.
