If you plan to publish your Degree Project – or parts of it – as an article in a journal, you may choose not to make it available in the library archive right away. The delay, or embargo, prevents public access of your work for a period of time. You may choose yourself for how long you want the embargo to be effective, that is, you decide from what date your Degree Project will be visible in our archive.

When you have finalized the registration of your Degree Project, a notice will be sent to an administrator at your department for verification that the Degree Project has been approved. Once this is verified, your work will be made available on the web. You will receive an email when your Degree Project has been published..

You, the author, remain the copyright owner of your work, regardless if you choose to e-publish your Degree Project or not.
