archiving thesis
Following the Complete Researcher Launchpad OPD training day yesterday, I've reviewed the Research Degrees Quality code. Notes posted relating to the Viva process and Thesis requirements..
SECTION 6.8 ARCHIVING OF FINAL VERSION
Following successful completion of the examination students are required to archive, in
approved format, an electronic copy of their final examined thesis. The electronic copy must
be deposited in the institutional repository Discovery (http://discovery.dundee.ac.uk/ ) and
may be embargoed for a default 12 month period.
The Thesis Deposit Agreement should be completed prior to archiving to allow the Library
and Learning Centre (LLC) to confirm any restrictions with the supervisor. Supervisors may,
at a later date, request a reasonable extension to the embargo.
Particular funders (e.g. RCUK) require that the thesis is made openly available within 12
months. Archiving in Discovery satisfies this criteria, and will be checked and validated by
LLC staff before being made publicly available.
