Citations: increased visibility is likely to lead to increased citations 
of your work
Impact and use: Increased visibility and easier access should result 
in increased impact and use of your research
Persistent links: the links/URLs to items in ORA will stay 
permanently live to avoid the problems of broken or dead links. 
http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/ora/about/key‐facts
Benefits of adding thesis to ORA
Visibility of your research is increased: 
ORA is heavily crawled by Google and other 
search engines. 
Preservation: ORA provides the means to 
preserve your research for the long‐term. 
When & What to deposit
Submit your thesis to ORA once you have been granted leave to supplicate
The version of your work that is required for deposit to the research archive in 
order to comply with the terms of your graduation is a copy that is as close to 
the examined work as possible, with all images and text in place
If your thesis file(s) are larger than 50MB please do not attach it/them to your 
thesis submission. Unfortunately our online form cannot cope with large files. If 
this applies, please contact ora@bodleian.ox.ac.uk and an alternative method 
for uploading the file(s) will be provided. 
A PDF version of the work (which may be identical) should also be added to the 
archive as the version for dissemination

“…a full text should be 
available within a maximum 
of 12 months following 
award.”
Copyright
Generally the author holds the copyright for their thesis. A thesis may often include 
material (e.g. images, graphs, photos, etc.) for which copyright may be held elsewhere.  
This material is known as ‘third party’ copyright.
Material where permission cannot be obtained should be removed from the 
dissemination copy of the thesis and dispensation from consultation should be applied 
for (if deposit is mandatory). 
Permission should be obtained from the copyright holders for third party material before 
it can be made available in ORA. 
From published work: ‘fair dealing’ may apply (quotations, short excerpts), otherwise 
permission from the copyright holder is required (maps, photos, cartoons, etc.). 
From unpublished work (other thesis, research groups): permission must be obtained 
from the copyright holder.
From your own publications: check publisher policy.

Links to permissions request 
forms are usually available 
with the publisher article 
record page. 
RightsLink is used by Elsevier, Sciencedirect, Springer, Taylor & Francis, 
Nature Publishing Group, AIP, ACS Science and more.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1526820913002528
A user ID and login will 
need to be created for 
RightsLink (no charge 
associated)
In most cases reuse 
requests will be free of 
charge (note: a licence will 
still need to be obtained)
Complete details as 
accurately as possible 
(both print and online can 
be selected for thesis 
reuse)

Other considerations
Material Already Published
Sensitive or Confidential Material
Dispensation from consultation
(Permission to restrict access to your thesis or thesis content)
a) your thesis contains third‐party copyright material that you 
don't have permission to make available online via ORA 
c) making your thesis freely available may invalidate an application 
for a patent on a product or process described in the thesis
b) your thesis contains confidential or sensitive material (e.g. 
patient data, animal research)
d) restricting access to your thesis is a requirement of any 
agreements with an outside body or sponsor
e) you have another good reason

task/oxford‐research‐archive‐what‐and‐when‐submit
The photo contains no sensitive content, but you 
have included it in a journal article for which you 
transferred copyright to the publisher. The journal 
permits authors to reuse their figures in other 
publications, but requires authors to obtain 
permission for online reuse using RightsLink
permissions request service. 
Consider where 
the copyright 
lies and what 
actions need to 
be taken 
1) Check with supervisor 
about sensitive data
2) Check who holds the 
copyright and manages the 
permissions for content 
and establish their reuse 
policy
3) Request permission to use 
content from the copyright 
holder /publisher/ via 
RightsLink
4) Apply for dispensation 
from consultation
5) Remove figure from 
dissemination version of 
your thesis
6) Ensure content caption/ 
reference includes required 
acknowledgement
7) Upload proof of copyright 
permission to deposit 
form/email to ORA team
