What should be published in full text in DiVA?

As of January 1st 2003, Uppsala University requires that the comprehensive summaries of compilation theses be made freely available when published in DiVA. There is no such requirement for monograph theses, but the doctoral student is welcome to make their monograph thesis available in DiVA (unless a publisher owns the copyright to it).

Students who register their student thesis in DiVA can decide whether to make the thesis freely available or not.

A department or division may decide that certain research publications (such as reports) should be published in full text. If you are employed at Uppsala University and are unsure of the rules, contact your department or division.

In all other cases, if you are a University employee, you decide what you want to publish in full text in DiVA, as long as it does not violate copyright.

If you have published via a publisher, you must check whether you are allowed to upload the full text of a published or forthcoming publication before you do so. In some cases, you need to get permission from the publisher. In others, you may have the right to decide how your full text is disseminated.

Sherpa Romeo is a resource that collects information on publishers' rules for parallel publishing. If you cannot find information about the relevant rules there, check the publication agreement, look for information on the publisher's website or contact them. The Library can also help to clarify the terms of publication.

Publications from Uppsala University can usually be uploaded to DiVA, unless there is a specific agreement prohibiting this.

If you choose to only archive the file in DiVA, no permission from the publisher is required.

Follow the instructions in the Publishing full-text files guide if you want to make your publication freely available in DiVA.
