For articles included in theses, [[#Policy component 1: Open Access to Journal and Conference Articles|the policy component for open access to journal articles and conference publications]] is applied.
# Higher education institutions provide support and templates for obtaining permission to republish articles included in theses.
# For article-based theses, the use of delayed publication (embargoes) should be avoided.
# Authors' awareness of predatory publishers and their practices will be increased. +
Higher education institutions aim to cover reasonable costs of open access publication of theses (e.g. article processing charges, Teosto fees).
# Thesis authors are informed about open access article publication channels without author fees. +
Higher education institutions provide a publication repository for the archivable parts of theses (e.g. institutional repositories, [https://www.theseus.fi/ Theseus]). +
The metadata of theses, excluding abstracts, will be openly published under a CC0 licence.
# Organisations will provide support and guidance for metadata production. +
From 2025 onwards, higher education institutions support and train thesis supervisors and authors in data management. The thesis author will write a data management plan to the extent required by the thesis level, if the thesis involves research data.
# Both the supervisor and the thesis author have knowledge of and skills to apply the FAIR principles. The organisation provides support for FAIR management, e.g. in the form of guidelines. If research data included in the thesis is opened, it will be handled in accordance with [[Aineistot/en#Open research data and methods|the policy for open research data and methods]]. +
By 2025, higher education institutions provide a contract template for collaborative work on theses, defining the conditions for open access. +
By 2025, higher education institutions provide a contract template for theses conducted in cooperation with companies and other organisations (such as research institutes). Conditions for open access will be defined as part of the contract template. +
The Declaration for Open Science and Research states that "In the research community, responsible openness is a part of everyday research throughout the research process, and research organisations have assessment practices, incentives, and services in place to support this." This also applies to the thesis process, and this policy component on open access to theses applies to all theses completed in higher education institutions (bachelor’s and master’s theses at universities and universities of applied sciences, advanced studies theses, licentiate theses, and doctoral theses).
Open science enables a broader use of research results by the research community and society, thus increasing the impact of research as well as the level of scholarship and innovation in society. Openness and the transparency of the process are also intended to support the quality of research. In the context of universities of applied sciences, a thesis is a task that requires and demonstrates expertise and takes into account aspects of the challenges of working life, thus making openness particularly useful from a professional point of view. The policy component on open access to theses has been developed to serve these basic objectives from the perspective of theses. +

Policy component for Open access to educational resources concerns Open Educational Resources, that is, materials or information in any form and used on any medium, partly designed for teaching and learning purposes, which have been released for public use (public domain) or shared by an open licence that permits no-cost access, reuse, repurpose, adaptation and redistribution by others. The objectives in the policy components are more time-dependent goals, which involve concrete actions. Objectives and their associated actions will respond to a changing international environment more readily than the principles. +
Open educational resources are used and created extensively in higher education. +
Support is provided for the creation and use of open educational resources.
: * Organisations will share and collaborate to develop tools and practices to ensure the findability, interoperability, reusability and further development of open educational resources.
: * Organisations are responsible for resourcing support services for open educational resources.
: * Organisations instruct and encourage learners and teachers to use open educational resources in their learning, teaching and the creation of new educational resources.
: * Organisational draw up their own guidelines on open educational resources, which provide advice on, for example, a) contracts and licences in accordance with [https://avointiede.fi/en/open-science-expert-panels/open-education/how-account-copyright-when-publishing-oer the national recommendation], b) finding and using open educational resources, c) tools and platforms for opening educational resources, and d) the use of artificial intelligence in the use and creation of open educational resources. +
The findability and accessibility of open educational resources is ensured.
: * The authors of open educational resources are recommended to provide metadata of their open educational resources to the Library of Open Educational Resources. National recommendations on the [https://avointiede.fi/en/open-science-expert-panels/open-education/how-account-quality-oer quality] and [https://avointiede.fi/en/open-science-expert-panels/open-education/how-account-accessibility-oer accessibility] of open educational resources can be used as guidelines.
○ Organisations create with [https://aoe.fi/ the Library of Open Educational Resources] interfaces to ensure that metadata of open educational resources stored in other repositories will also be stored in the Library of Open Educational Resources.
○ Organisations ensure that the authors of open educational resources have guidelines, tools and platforms in place to ensure findability and accessibility. +
Training on open educational resources is provided.
: * Open Science and Research Coordination, in cooperation with organisations, establishes an open online course, which will give the participant the skills needed for the creation and utilisation of open educational resources.
: * Organisations include the course in their orientation material for teaching and research staff and recommend that all staff complete it.
: * Organisations offer training on open educational resources as part of staff training and ensure that working hours can be used for training. +
There is a sufficient supply of high quality open educational resources that serve education in different disciplines at higher education. +
Opportunities for gaining merit from open educational resources are developed.
: * [http://research.fi/ Research.fi] -service will be developed to allow researchers' profiles to include information on open educational resources and related activities, such as peer review of open educational resources.
: * Organisations take the development of open educational resources into account in recruitment, career development, remuneration, and working time planning. +
The quality of open educational resources is improved.
: * Open Science and Research Coordination, in cooperation with organisations, develops practices for peer review of open educational resources using national quality criteria. Together with the Library of Open Educational Resource, technical solutions to enable peer review will be developed.

: * Organisations engage in dialogue with staff and learners about the quality of open educational resources.
: * Open Science and Research Coordination operates a network for sharing good practices in producing high-quality open educational resources and for promoting high-quality open educational resources. +
The creation of open educational resources is encouraged through funding and awards.
: *Research funders will provide positive consideration to open educational resources drawn up on the basis of research results in funding decisions, as a part of societal impact.
: * High-quality open educational resources are developed in projects carried out by the organisations themselves and in collaboration with other organisations.
: * Open Science and Research Coordination continues to distribute national open education awards and raises awareness of these awards, and organisations recognise the promotion of open education. +
Finland is known as a pioneer and promoter of open educational resources in higher education. +
