Theses should be openly accessible in Skemman in accordance with RU’s open access policy. However, authors have the right to request restricted access to a thesis if it contains information that should reasonably remain confidential.
If a student wishes to request restricted access to a thesis, they must submit a completed request form to the department's project manager, who will decide on approval. A department staff member will sign the request or approve it electronically. The student must then save the signed request as a PDF and upload it as a separate file in Skemman, following the submission guidelines. If the thesis has already been submitted to Skemman, the student cannot upload the request themselves. In that case, the request must be sent electronically to skemman@ru.is, and it will be uploaded on the student's behalf.
Please note that the request form can be filled out directly in most browsers and downloaded as a completed PDF.
If any issues arise during submission to Skemman, students may contact the library at skemman@ru.is.
