promotes the open access to the publications produced, including

Universities. The open access record PORTO will be freely
accessible by Internet and will be one of the worldwide open
records which are even more relevant in the landscape of the
international research.
Each Phd student can submit a copy of the thesis using the U-GOV
system (Research Catalogue) accessing to the intranet section

basis of the publications on UGOV. In the U-GOV upload page,
several items are available for the Doctoral thesis, and it is
possible to upload the attachments, too.
In the case that confidentially agreements were entered into, it
is possible to ask for an embargo period of twelfth month maximum,
and, after that, the thesis will be published.
To authorize the publishing of the open access thesis, the
author could choose, between the Creative Commons licences, the one
is the most adequate relating to his/her requirements.

line, he/she has to upload the file on U-GOV, anyway, rendering it
NOT public.

page in which he/she sees the definite forward in the record and
give it to the Doctoral School to prove the upload.
