There are three ways you can publish your doctoral thesis in DUO:
- Register your thesis in CRIStin and upload the file. This is the most preferred way, as your thesis is accessible in CRIStin, as well as in DUO.
- If you do not have access to CRIStin you can contact us directly at duo-hjelp@ub.uio.no
- If you have your thesis printed at the Graphic center, you can also have an electronic file sent to DUO A brief summary/abstract can be included as a separate file.
Article-based theses
If your thesis is article-based, we may need to remove some articles, depending on the various publishers' self archiving policies. We check all articles and remove the ones we do not have permission to publish. Link are provided to all published articles.
Unpublished manuscripts are removed awaiting publishing.
Monograph
If your thesis is a monograph, and you do not have content which has been published elsewhere previously, the whole thesis can be made accessible in DUO. If you plan to publish the thesis as a book through a publisher, it is advisable to talk to the publisher in advance. Some publishers are interested in having theses in DUO as good advertising, others do not want the text available online until after the book is released.
Summary/abstract
It is an advantage to register an abstract in DUO, together with the fulltext file. The abstract increases the visibility of your thesis, and helps readers assess if the thesis is relevant for them. There are no formal requirements for abstracts in DUO, but we recommend a maximum length of around 600 words. You can register your abstract in several languages.
Publishing in DUO
When you make your thesis available in DUO, it involves duties and responsibilities for both UiO and you as the author.
