White Rose Research Online

Welcome to the shared, open access repository from the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York

The repository contains a growing collection of research outputs from across all three Universities.

White Rose Libraries

The libraries of the universities of leeds, sheffield and york, repositories.

White Rose Libraries share the UK’s only collaboratively managed institutional repositories, providing access to full-text research and theses from scholars of the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York through shared infrastructure.

White Rose Research Online (established in 2004) and White Rose Etheses Online (added in 2007) together form one of the most highly-used institutional repository services in the UK, with over 18 million downloads of full-text articles and doctoral theses.

Strategic direction for the repositories comes from the WRL Repositories Board. An Operational team, chaired by the WRL Executive Manager and consisting of key colleagues from across the three sites, manages the development and operation of the repositories service. Technical support and development is provided by John Salter, the dedicated WRL Technical Officer based at the University of Leeds- where the service is hosted. This structure brings efficiencies in terms of costs and adds value in increasing the knowledge and expertise available, while ensuring the collaborative operated service still reflects individual institutional policies and so provides an institutional repository for each University in the truest sense.

University of Leeds Publications Policy

The University of Leeds produces research of world-class quality. In alignment with our Research Culture statement we are committed to ensuring that the outputs of our research are freely accessible to maximise the potential for economic, social and cultural impact.  Some researchers and many outside the academic community have not traditionally had immediate access to the outputs of our research because of the restrictions placed by publishers on access to subscription-based scholarly journals. We share the commitment of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), Coalition S, Wellcome and other external funders to enable immediate access to the outputs of publicly funded research for all.    

This policy applies, from January 2023, to all research outputs produced by postgraduate researchers and research staff, unless specific instruction is provided. While particular emphasis is placed on the deposit of peer-reviewed research articles, including reviews and conference papers, the deposit of other outputs, e.g. monographs is also encouraged, where possible, to fully reflect a researcher’s activity, supporting broader discussion of their contribution to their field and ensuring a permanent, preserved account of institutional output. The University’s Publications Database and Institutional Repository provide the mechanism for recording details of all outputs and the means for making full versions easily available online.  

The rationale and benefits for the policy are outlined in the sections below.  Author Requirements are listed with further guidance available from the links under Advice and Guidance .  

• To underpin the Open Research and Impact theme of the institutional Research Culture statement [1] .  
• To raise the profile of University of Leeds research.   
• To provide a full record of researcher and institutional research output.  
• To ensure that research funder open research requirements are met, including those of UKRI, Wellcome and the Concordat on Open Research Data. 
• To ensure that publications are eligible for submission to the REF or equivalent.  
• To complement the University of Leeds Research Data Management Policy which requires the long-term storage and preservation of research data, in particular data that enables the validation of research outputs and reported results.
• Making outputs open access facilitates knowledge exchange and open research. Small and Medium-sized enterprises and other businesses who do not have subscriptions to journal literature will be able to access outputs that are freely available over the web.
• Outputs deposited in the institutional repository will be indexed by Google Scholar and other search engines, thus increasing visibility, access, subsequent citation and increases the potential for attracting collaborators.  
• Researchers have a comprehensive record of their research output.  
• Publications, data and links will be available to feed to School and personal webpages.  
• The deposit of research outputs in the institutional repository will ensure their long term preservation and storage.

Author requirements

• Authors must comply with their funders’ policies relating to open access and research data management.  
• Authors must register for an individual ORCiD identifier and should link it to their University Publications Database profile [2] , include it on any personal webpage, when submitting publications, when applying for grants, and in any research workflow to ensure that the individual is credited for their work and that the correct institutional affiliation is achieved.   
• Authors must use a standardised institutional affiliation “University of Leeds” in all research outputs to ensure clear affiliation with the University of Leeds.  
• Authors must specify authors’ contributions in all research outputs to ensure individuals’ roles are identifiable and duly recognised.  
• Authors must include a Data Access Statement in all research outputs even where there are no data associated with the publication or the data are inaccessible. The statement informs readers where the associated underlying research materials are available and how they can be accessed.   
• Authors must acknowledge the source of grant funding associated with a research output in all research outputs. Information about the grant should also be linked, by the author, to the record of the publication in the University Publications Database. Grant information in the University Publications Database is fed automatically from the University’s Grant Information System [3] .   
• Authors must retain the necessary rights to make the accepted manuscripts of research articles, including reviews and conference papers, publicly available under the terms of a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licence. Recommended wording to include in manuscript submissions is in Appendix 1. This requirement does not apply but is strongly recommended for outputs solely or jointly authored by PGRs (only).  
• Authors must record bibliographic details of all research outputs in the University’s publications database. For peer-reviewed research articles, including reviews and conference papers, this must be done as soon as possible after acceptance for publication. When creating the record in the University’s publications database, complete the appropriate fields to confirm that a data access and a rights retention statement have been added to the output itself. 
• Authors must deposit full text copies of final accepted peer-reviewed research articles, including reviews and conference papers into the institutional repository, via the University’s publications database as soon as possible after acceptance for publication. Where the output is already available open access via the publisher website a link may be provided instead. The deposit of other outputs e.g. monographs is also encouraged where copyright permits.  
• Where copyright allows and there are no confidentiality or commercial constraints, the research outputs in the institutional repository must be made ‘open access’, i.e. freely accessible over the internet.  
• Outputs must be made open access as soon as possible after acceptance [4] .

Advice and guidance 

• The SHERPA Romeo website   provides details of the policies of different publishers with regard to copyright permissions. The Journal Checker Tool and SHERPA FACT help authors establish whether a journal is compliant with the relevant funder open access policy. 
• CRediT contributor roles taxonomy.
• Library research data support.
• Guidance on meeting the requirements of the policy and implementing rights retention is available on the Library website: Publications Policy Guidance
• Researchers can record their outputs in and deposit full versions via the University’s publications database following the instructions on the Library website . Full text copies of publications will be held in and made open access by the institutional repository. The University Library provides advice and assistance to help researchers .

Submitting your thesis for examination

When you are preparing to submit your thesis for examination, take some time to familiarise yourself with the deadlines involved as well as the required format for submission.

Please see the Guide to the thesis submission process on the Policies and Procedures page of the SES website for more information on the processes explained on this webpage.   

To complete the thesis submission, you need to upload a PDF copy of your thesis to GRAD. You are invited to upload a Covid-19 impact statement alongside your thesis which discusses any impacts of Covid-19 on your research plans, and the choices made to respond to this.  Please use the template provided which is available on the Research degree assessment page of the For Students website . This should be uploaded to GRAD alongside your thesis submission.  

Thesis format regulations

When you are preparing to submit your thesis, please take time to read the Guide to the thesis examination process which includes information on: 

• entering for examination and completing the relevant examination entry workflow in GRAD. 
• the content and layout of your thesis (including font size, margins, pagination, referencing styles, illustrative materials, abbreviations) 
• the presentation of the title page and the statements which must be included in your thesis
• thesis length requirements, and what to do if you think you might exceed them 
• including work from any jointly-authored publication in your thesis (please see the Guidelines on the Use of Solely or Jointly-Authored Publications within a Thesis Submission on the Policies and Procedures page of the SES website )
• advice on what to expect before, during and after the viva 
• advice on eThesis preparation and presentation

Alternative format thesis including published material

This model of submission is currently only available to postgraduate researchers (PGRs) registered in the in the Faculties of Environment, EPS (Engineering Schools only), Biological Sciences, Medicine and Health or Arts, Humanities and Cultures. PGRs in these faculties who wish to consider this route to submission must first discuss this with their supervisory team. This model of thesis can only be submitted where the supervisory team supports this format of submission and is satisfied it is appropriate and meets the protocol in place for that faculty. Please see the Faculty Protocols for the format and presentation of an alternative style of doctoral thesis including published material on the Policies and Procedures page of the SES website .  

Dual Award PhDs

If you are registered on a Dual Award PhD, there may be particular expectations for your thesis and/or viva, depending on your programme of study. Please consult our Dual Award Guidance below, which includes further information for each of the Dual Awards and which sets out any additional examination information you may need to be aware of. 

Dual Award Guidance - General Guidance for all awards

University of Leeds – University of Copenhagen   University of Leeds – University of Coimbra   University of Leeds – University of Ljubljana   University of Leeds – Lulea Technical University

Deadline for submission

You should aim to submit your thesis within the standard period of study for the research degree programme upon which you are registered. However, you must submit your thesis for examination by the maximum time limit for your programme. Your standard period of study and maximum time limit dates are visible on your GRAD record. If difficulties arise you must talk to your Graduate School as soon as possible for advice. See the Examination process overview page of the For Students website for more information on the submission timings on your deadline date.

Submitting your thesis early

In some cases you may be able to submit your thesis early, before the end of your standard period of study. Your Director of Postgraduate Research Studies (DPGRS) must submit a recommendation to the Graduate Board’s Programmes and Examinations Group for a reduction to your period of study. Early submission of the thesis can only be made where it is supported by your supervisor and your DPGRS if: 

(a) the thesis is complete and ready for submission and  

(b) it has been read by your supervisor in its entirety  

Your supervisor must confirm in writing that they have read your thesis and that their view is that it is ready to be examined. There are limits to the length of the reduction that can be approved. Please see further information about the limits and the process to be followed on the How long does a research degree take? page of the For Students website . 

Uploading a PDF to GRAD

You must upload a PDF copy of your thesis to GRAD using the GRAD Thesis Submission workflow. Please see the Guide to the thesis examination process for further advice. Please contact your Graduate School in advance of your thesis submission if there are any concerns with this, for example, if there are confidentiality or commercially sensitive issues with your research. 

Practice-led research degrees

Please make sure you are fully aware of the submission requirements for your degree. You can find more information by checking the practice-led policy for your faculty or school on the Research Degrees Codes of Practice page on the SES website . 

After submission

Your thesis will be sent out to your examiners normally within 10 working days of submission, providing that it meets the University's requirements and your examination entry workflow has been approved by the Examinations Group. A GRAD email notification (to your University account) will be sent to confirm that your thesis has been sent out to your examiners, and will include advice about the next stages in the process. If Doctoral College Operations has only recently received your examination entry workflow (or your workflow has not yet been completed), if there are any issues with the length or formatting of the thesis, or if your thesis has been submitted after the maximum time limit there may be a delay in sending your thesis out for examination.

UT Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Permanent URI for this community https://hdl.handle.net/2152/4

This collection contains University of Texas at Austin electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). The collection includes ETDs primarily from 2001 to the present. Some pre-2001 theses and dissertations have been digitized and added to this collection, but those are uncommon. The library catalog is the most comprehensive list of UT Austin theses and dissertations.

Since 2010, the Office of Graduate Studies at UT Austin has required all theses and dissertations to be made publicly available in Texas ScholarWorks; however, authors are able to request an embargo of up to seven years. Embargoed ETDs will not show up in this collection. Most of the ETDs in this collection are freely accessible to all users, but some pre-2010 works require a current UT EID at point of use. Please see the FAQs for more information. If you have a question about the availability of a specific ETD, please contact [email protected].

Some items in this collection may contain offensive images or text. The University of Texas Libraries is committed to maintaining an accurate and authentic scholarly and historic record. An authentic record is essential for understanding our past and informing the present. In order to preserve the authenticity of the historical record we will not honor requests to redact content, correct errors, or otherwise remove content, except in cases where there are legal concerns (e.g. potential copyright infringement, inclusion of HIPAA/FERPA protected information or Social Security Numbers) or evidence of a clear and imminent threat to personal safety or well-being. This policy is in keeping with the  American Library Association code of ethics  to resist efforts to censor library resources, and the  Society of American Archivists code of ethics  that states "archivists may not willfully alter, manipulate, or destroy data or records to conceal facts or distort evidence."

Authors of these ETDs have retained their copyright while granting the University of Texas Libraries the non-exclusive right to reproduce and distribute their works.

Research data management policy

Anyone responsible for research data management should comply with the University research data policy.

The management of research data reflects our:

• appreciation of the value of our data – to us and to others
• approach of “share what you can – explain where you can’t”
• commitment to the open sharing of research data of long term value and underpinning published results
• recognition of our duty to our funders.
• Research data will be managed to agreed standards throughout the research data lifecycle and according to funder requirements .
• Responsibility for research data management during any research project or programme lies with responsible owners such as Principal Investigators (PIs).
• The University is responsible for the provision of training, support and advice on research data management .
• In addition to specific funder requirements, a data management plan must be created for each proposed research project or funding application to allow costing and infrastructure planning .
• All projects should ensure data management plans and practice address the capture, management, integrity, confidentiality, preservation, sharing and publication of research data, including compliance with relevant legal and ethical frameworks .
• Where possible, researchers should seek to recover from the research funder the direct costs of managing research data generated by projects.
• The PI should ensure all relevant research data are assessed and offered for deposit and preservation in an appropriate University , national or international data service or domain repository, unless specified otherwise in the data management plan.
• Any published papers which rely on data generated by the authors should include a data access statement . Authors should also apply good data citation principles and formally cite data which has directly informed the conclusions drawn in their papers.
• Data should not be deposited with any organisation that does not commit to its access and availability for re-use , unless this is a condition of the project funding or arising from other requirements.
• Non-digital data assets or digital data held outside the University of Leeds data repository will be recorded in the University of Leeds data registry.
• Research and Innovation Board will be responsible for reviewing and updating the policy.

The University recognises the following benefits of implementing this policy:

• support for the re-use of data
• benefit future generations
• improved data integrity, security and access management
• opportunities for further research collaboration
• improved research reproducibility and validation
• further development of research skills
• the ability to cite data as a publication
• improved institutional research reputation
• improved relationship with research funders.

This plan is in effect from December 2017.
