DiVA for Students

Upload file

On the second page of the form, you can upload your thesis in PDF format. This is also where you determine the level of visibility of the PDF file in DiVA.

Sometimes there are agreements with e.g. a corporation that the full text of your thesis should not be displayed in DiVA. In this case, the secrecy box must be checked and the registration number with the decision on secrecy entered. Note that this can only be done by your thesis administrator.

  • Leave the option Make freely available now selected if there is no restriction on your thesis and you want it to be visible to everyone.
  • If you want the PDF file to be made visible on a specific date, specify this in the Make freely available later box.
  • If you want only the information about the thesis (rather than the thesis itself) to be visible in DiVA, select Archiving only. Then only the information about author, title abstract etc. will be visible in DiVA.

Please note that sensitive personal information about yourself or others, such as a personal identity number, should not be included in a full text that is to be published.

Under Type, select full text and pdf.

Upload the file from your computer by clicking on Browse. If the paper is larger than 1GB, it can be uploaded using a URL.

Finally, please read through and check the box for accepting the publishing conditions. If you have chosen to only archive your file (and not make the thesis itself visible), you are not required to accept the publication conditions.
