How to fill in the TDX/Teseo section of the Online deposit

When you fill in the Online Thesis Deposit, there is a section about TDX/Teseo, where you must choose some options related to the publication of the thesis in TDX.

Immediate or delayed publication (embargo)

Select if the publication in TDX must be immediate or you would prefer to apply an embargo.
The embargo will delay the DISPLAY of the thesis full text, and it is usually required due to reasons like these:

you expect to publish articles and/or books in the near future
research is still underway
any other reason, justification is not required

If you mark that you want an embargo (I decline), you must select for number of months (options available 6, 12, 18 or 24 months).

Thesis with knowledge protection or technology transfer issues

What you select here is merely informative. If your thesis has issues of knowledge protection or technology transfer (patent application, confidentiality agreements, etc), you must contact your department before depositing the thesis. There is a special procedure in place for these cases.

You have to choose between two licence options for the publication in TDX.

Open the section Codes for indexing the thesis in TDX, and select the most appropriate for the content of the thesis.
