• The master's thesis is submitted in Inspera.
• The thesis must be submitted as a single PDF file.
• The PDF file must include the entire thesis, including cover page, table of contents, reference list, and any appendices.
• If you have attachments such as Excel sheets, video files, or a confidentiality agreement for classified information: these must be uploaded as a separate zip file in addition to the thesis in PDF format.
• Even if you have no other attachments, the confidentiality agreement must still be uploaded as a zip file.

OsloMet encourages students and staff to deposit their work in open repositories like ODA (oda.oslomet.no). A master´s thesis published in ODA can be retrieved in Google Scholar and other search engines. The thesis will also be found in Oria (bibsys.no).

For more details on publishing your master’s thesis visit the University Library's website (student.oslomet.no).

If your master's thesis contains information subject to the duty of secrecy, it must not be made accessible or available in the Open Digital Archive ODA (oda.oslomet.no). In that case you must fill out a form for restricted access to the thesis and upload the document as a zip-file together with your master´s thesis:

• Form for restricted access - duty of secrecy (docx)
• Form for restricted access - duty of secrecy (PDF)

During the upload process in Inspera, you will decide whether you want your thesis to be published. If published, it will be the version you upload to Inspera that is made available in ODA. You may withdraw your consent for publication at a later stage.

If your thesis is restricted due to confidentiality obligations, you must select "No" when asked whether you want to publish your thesis. If you select "No," the thesis itself will be exempt from publication, but metadata (title, abstract, and author name) will still be made public. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid sensitive information in the abstract.
