At Flinders, all HDR theses need to be uploaded to the University’s digital repository and made available for open access. This means your thesis will be freely available online for anyone to read via the library. This is a reputable way to disseminate your research and share your hard work with the wider community. There are a few considerations to take into account before your thesis can be made public though, so you\u2019ll benefit from thinking about these as early on as possible. It may be the case that the thesis you share with the world needs to look a little different to the one you prepared for your examiners.<\/p>\n
Here are the 5 things you\u2019ll need to think about in advance of submitting to the library:<\/p>\n
Any third party material (such as images) that you copy from another source will require permission from the copyright owner to reproduce publicly, even if you\u2019ve referenced them correctly. Obtaining all of these permissions can be time-consuming and you will thank yourself for doing them as you go rather than waiting until you\u2019re ready to graduate. More information is available on the Copyright page<\/a> of the Thesis Submission Guide<\/a>. An understanding of copyright is a great tool to take with you into employment, whether you pursue a future in academia or professional practice.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re ready to submit to the library, you\u2019ll be able to upload your complete as-examined thesis and also a second \u2018library copy\u2019 which can be slightly modified to address the needs listed above so that it\u2019s appropriate for public viewing. The Copyright Librarian<\/a> is on hand if you require assistance with copyright permissions or have any questions about submission to the library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Flinders, all HDR theses need to be uploaded to the University’s digital repository and made available for open access.
