How is the process to publish the thesis in the UVa document repository?
You can find all the information in the UVADoc blog.
Will my thesis be assigned a DOI?
The automatic assignment of DOIs in the doctoral theses included in UVaDOC is part of the agreement established between the UVa DOCTORATE SCHOOL (ESDUVa) and the University LIBRARY (BUVa), once the improvements of the functionalities in the new version of the DSpace software of the repository have been implemented.
Can I include published articles in the thesis, and texts, figures or tables by other authors?
The thesis document will be published in electronic repositories, so you should never insert published documents, or documents for which you do not have permission:
- if you wish to include published articles, simply replace them with the DOI link or their preprint or postprint version;
- in the case of unpublished material (course notes, unpublished books, correspondence, archive material, etc.), you must have the explicit authorisation of the owners of the rights.
The thesis is a scientific document, so if text is inserted, it must always be placed in quotation marks and its source must be cited. If figures or tables from other authors are inserted, their origin must be cited.
