Hi both,
Yes it does count as being published if you put it up on the Web, even
in a secure area - it comes under the 'communication to the public'
aspect of copyright so if he wanted to publish it commercially he might
want to re-think making it available online. However, if you put the
metadata of the thesis up on the repository with a note to say contact
the author for a copy, that would be ok as this falls under the
distribution right and doesn't constitute publishing.
Hope that helps!
Kind regards,
Emily

Hi Andy,
I'm sure someone will come along with a better answer, but I have a
feeling that it will probably depend on the publisher as to whether or
not it counts repository deposits as publication. We have a clause in
our repository policy that states explicitly that we are not a
publisher, but are merely the archive. i can certainly see the
difficulty though!
Not sure if that helps at all, but those are just my thoughts on the
matter!
Best wishes,
Sarah

LIS-LINK Comrades!
Here's an interesting question, to which I didn't have an answer...
A lecturer has asked me if having his PhD thesis entered into the
University's Institutional Repository counted as it being 'published'.
His concern is that he wants to try to publish some journal articles
based on his doctoral thesis, but many journals have a submission
requirement that the material has not already been published elsewhere.
Does anyone have any thoughts they'd like to share...
Andy
