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. +
By 2025 open educational resources are used and created extensively in universities. +
By 2022, Open Science Coordination will explore the possibility of establishing, in cooperation with CSC, an open online course, which, once completed, will give the participant the preparedness needed for the creation and utilisation of open educational resources +
As part of the national monitoring of open science, the capacity of organisations to support the development of open educational resources will be investigated on a regular basis. +
By 2023, Open Science Coordination will, together with universities and other organisations developing open education, determine the competence requirements for open educational resources, which will indicate the skills that teachers should be in possession of when creating and utilising open educational resources. +
Universities and other organisations developing open education will provide support and training to creators of open educational resources on licensing and openness and issues related to its practical implementation. +
On the basis of this policy and the recommendations that specify it, universities and other organisations developing open education, will draw up their own guidelines on open educational resources, which will provide advice on, for example, matters such as contracts, licences, tools for opening educational resources, recommended distribution locations and finding and using of open educational resources. +
By 2022, Open Science Coordination will, in cooperation with universities and other organisations developing open education, draft a joint recommendation on the practices and tools that ensure the findability, interoperability, reusability and further development of open educational resources. +
By 2025 the amount of open educational resources in higher education has multiplied and the quality has improved to better serve education. +
As part of the monitoring of open science, a process to assess the quality and quantity of open educational resources in higher education will be created and introduced.
: i) The Library of Open Educational Resources collects information on an annual basis on how many higher education educational resources have metadata stored in the Library and how many have been downloaded from it in different fields and in different languages.
: ii) The Library of Open Educational Resources collects information on the updating and accessibility of higher education educational resources stored there.
iii) The views of teachers and students in different fields on the adequacy of the amount and quality of open educational resources will be investigated regularly.
iv) Using the expertise of the Expert Panel in Open Education on a regular basis, the adequacy levels for the results of (i)–(iii) will be determined on the basis of past years’ performance.
v) A report on the development of open educational resources in the higher education and research community will be published regularly on the basis of sections (i)–(iv). +
