In line with the growing worldwide trend to make research publications freely available on the Internet, NTU has implemented an open access policy on its research publications with effect from 8 August 2011. Under this policy, all NTU faculty and staff must deposit their final peer-reviewed manuscript of journal articles and conference papers to the Digital Repository (DR-NTU) maintained by the Library upon acceptance of their publications. This is so that they can be made available, whenever possible, for global access through the Internet. All PhD and Masters degree (by research only) students are required to submit the complete full-text of their theses* to DR-NTU for open access. For more information, please check NTU Library Libguide on NTU OA Policy here.
*In conjunction with NTU Research Integrity Policy and guidelines, all theses and dissertations by students should include Thesis Declaration Statements that are acknowledged and signed by students and supervisors, prior to submission. Please refrain from using signatures intended for any official purposes in the Thesis Declaration Statements and opt to use your initials instead.
