Add a Resource

By adding a resource to APO, authors, publishers and organisations can make their policy and research resources discoverable to thousands of policy and research professionals in Australia, New Zealand and beyond.

Every author and organisation receives a profile page with a list of their resources on APO.

Steps to add a resource:

  1. Sign up to APO if you are contributing for the first time.
  2. Log in and go to: Add a Resource (on your My APO dashboard under Create Content).
  3. Enter in the required information and either upload the resource (APO's preference) or if you don't have a copy of the resource, enter the link (in the next tab). 
  4. Review and click save.
    Note: You can only fill in the resource form once. To make any changes after saving, email editors@apo.org.au and an APO editor will edit the record for you.
  5. Your resource will then be moderated by an APO editor.
  6. You can view all your added resources on your My APO dashboard.

This service is free! But all contributions must comply with APO's Content Policy.
