How do you add your research to RADAR ? Second email: brief instructions on how to get started The RADAR team always checks the version that you send through and which can be published. We are happy to have a record of an item even if you don't have a version. To get started, just go to the RADAR homepage, using the login window on the lefthand column, login using your brookes p no (p 00 xxxxx) and password. Once logged in, you will see that there is now an 'Add research' in the left-hand column which you should click on and this with take you to the contribution screens. This is all new. I'm in the process of creating a help sheet, feedback is welcome however there are some things that we are unable to change. Once you have added items then they will go into a workflow which means that we will check the record and also check which version (if any) of the output can be placed on RADAR. We will contact you to request the correct version.
