- Other material may be acceptable. Contact libraries@whiterose.ac.uk for further enquiries.
- Item types excluded from deposit** include:
- Teaching-only material
- Datasets
- Where the deposit of the full item is not possible due to copyright or other restrictions, a citation, abstract and descriptive information including, where possible, a link to an alternative location such as to the publisher's version of the material may be added. Such links may be to subscription-only versions
- This policy was last reviewed September 2015
* If there is a full-text version hosted on another institutional repository we prefer to create a link to that version. Theses undertaken at a White Rose institution should be submitted to White Rose Etheses Online.
