Submitting RU thesis to Skemman.is

Electronic copies submitted to Skemman – http://skemman.is/en/

Before students submit a printed copy of their thesis to the School in question, they should submit an electronic copy to Skemman. To log in to Skemman, students use their RU user name and password. Theses submitted to Skemman should be in PDF format unless that is not applicable. PDF documents should be saved so that they are locked and can be neither copied nor printed. Students are responsible for saving documents in this way. To lock PDF documents, you need Acrobat Writer | Adobe Acrobat X Pro which is available on three library computers located on a circular table next to the reception desk (computers number 8576, 8577, and 8579).

Students who prepare their thesis using programs which do not allow users to create PDF documents, submit the report in PDF format but accompanying documents in their original format if Skemman allows for that.

Thoroughly read the document(s) in whole before beginning. Give PDF documents descriptive titles, for example, taken from the author's name, type of thesis, title of thesis, and/or year. Avoid words such as "final" or "for printing" in document titles. When a document has been submitted to Skemman, it can be neither changed nor replaced.

Open / Locked
As a general rule, theses in Skemman are open for reading. Access to a thesis can be closed temporarily or permanently, for example, due to sensitive or confidential information.

Students are responsible for ensuring that all copies, electronic and printed, are identical.
