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. +, The policy is composed of joint principles and policy components of (a) open educational practices, (b) open access to educational resources and (c) open access to theses that determine objectives and actions. Policy component for open access to theses is shared with the Policy on open access to scholarly publications. +, Policy component for Open Educational Practices concerns open educational practices, that is, practices by which education, learning and teaching are made transparent and shared and which enable their further processing. 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. +, …
When evaluating education and open educational resources developed with it, the reliability of their content and other elements defining their quality are considered in addition to their openness. +
In addition to national monitoring, universities and universities of applied sciences ensure in their own quality systems that investments in creating and using open educational resources and other openly accessible education increase the overall quality of education. The universities ensure that high-quality contact teaching is provided, even though open educational resources and education are extensively available. +
In addition to national monitoring, higher education institutions shall ensure internal processes that ensure compliance with copyright, data protection, and ethical practices when developing and utilizing open education and educational resources. +
The development of open education and open educational resources takes into account their accessibility and applicability to a diversity of learners. +
In addition to national monitoring, higher education institutions shall ensure internal processes to guarantee the accessibility of open education and educational resources. +
Utöver den nationella uppföljningen säkerställer högskolorna att öppen utbildning och öppna lärresurser beaktas som ett meritkriterium vid rekrytering, lönesättning, karriärutveckling och planering av arbetstid. CSC och högskolorna utvecklar Forskningsdatabasen för att forskarens uppgifter ska möjliggöra insamling av meriter för öppen utbildning. +
