The record can now be accessed by the other students registered at the same course as well as the teacher, the record is NOT publically accessible at this stage of the workflow. The purpose of this stage is to make possible the distribution of papers amongst students registered on the same course before seminars. When the paper is approved the teacher sends the record to the reviewer who revises the bibliographical information before making the record public. If the bibliographic information is inconclusive the record is returned to the teacher. After the record has been modified it is sent to the reviewer. Once the record is public it is available in the public interface as well as accessible from search engines. Records from LUP student papers are imported to national services for student papers, Uppsök and uppsatser.se.
