Publishing

Independent projects (degree projects) that have received a Pass grade are deposited and published in Epsilon, SLU’s electronic publishing tool, as described in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook. A deposition involves registering the student’s work and uploading a full-text copy.

As a student and author, you own the copyright of your work. You need to approve the publishing of your work. You can approve publishing by signing below. You can also approve publishing when you submit your work. In the library’s new template for independent projects, you can indicate if your paper should be published or not.

If you choose Yes, the full-text pdf file and metadata will be visible, searchable and anyone on the internet will be able to read and download it.

If more than one person is writing the paper, you need to agree to publish it.
Read about SLU’s publishing agreement: https://www.slu.se/en/subweb/library/publish-and-analyse/register-and-publish/agreement-for-publishing/.

If you choose No, only the metadata and abstract will be visible and searchable. Regardless of what you choose, the work must be deposited in Epsilon to allow electronic archiving of the full-text pdf file, as required by the Archives Act. Read the Epsilon policies on data, content and preservation.
