Adding a Creative Commons licence

When a work is to be distributed freely on the Internet (Open Access), its author may decide to assign a licence to it as long as he/she holds all the copyright.

As part of its Open Access policy, the University of Geneva recommends choosing the most open licence possible, typically Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY), except where it is necessary to impose specific restrictions.

In concrete terms, it is recommended that the licence be clearly indicated on the work itself, in addition to mentioning it on the file submission form.

Search for Masters

By default, masters whose text is restricted or closed do not appear in the search results. The aim is to enable faculties to archive all masters theses in the long term, to generate bibliographies and to keep track of these student works without diminishing the prestige of other scientific publications in Archive ouverte. However, it is possible to make these masters appear by activating the ad hoc display parameter. This can be changed permanently directly in the profile of registered users.
