It is the students’ responsibility to ensure that permission is cleared to make material available publicly available on the Internet from CRO (e.g., from publishers, archives, museums, authors, deceased authors’ estates, etc.), otherwise it may need to be redacted.
We recognise that in some cases it is unavoidable that material that cannot be made publicly available in CRO needs to be included in a thesis (published journal articles is just one example). In these cases this material can either be redacted, or if very extensive, the thesis can be left off CRO.
In the case of commercially, politically or personally sensitive data in theses, this can be redacted or the thesis left of CRO.
