The statement of PhD on the usage of the doctoral thesis in e-form
Research presented in a few papers claim that publishing research under open access licences improve impact and citations of research within world science community. According to the legal acts in Serbia, copyrights on a Ph.D. dissertation belong to a student who wrote the dissertation, not to an institution in which the dissertation has been defended. Therefore, the legal department of the University of Novi Sad created a statement which allows students to publish its dissertations under open-access license.
