Guidance for doctoral candidates completing their studies

Well done! You are about to complete your PhD project at TU Delft. Before you do this and leave TU Delft, you need to publish the research data and code, so that others can reproduce the findings and re-use the research outcomes. In accordance with the TU Delft Research Data Framework Policy , all doctoral candidates who started on, or after 1 January 2019, are required to upload the research data and code to 4TU.Research Data (or another suitable data archive) before their defence ceremony. PhD candidates and their supervisors are advised to consult the Research Data Publishing Checklist  before signing Form B .

All doctoral candidates who started before 1 January 2019 are strongly encouraged to publish the data and code. 

What exactly do I need to do?

You need to:

• Gather and organise the research data (and code) which support the results described in your PhD thesis
• Check if the data (and code) are suitable for publishing
• Describe the data (and code )
• Upload the research data (and code) and the description of the data (and code) to 4TU.Research Data
• Add the DOI hyperlink into your thesis
• Submit your thesis for examination

1. Gather and organise research data (and code) which support findings described in your PhD thesis

Gather all research data (and code) which are needed to validate the research findings. Afterwards, organise and name the files in a meaningful way, so that the readers of your theses (and your examiners!) know what is what.

2. Check if the data (and code) are suitable for publishing

Most of the time, research done by doctoral candidates at TU Delft is not confidential and therefore suitable for public sharing.

However, there might be some exceptions. The following types of data (or code) might need access restriction:

• Personal data - any information relating toabout an identified or identifiable natural person. A person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly based on one or more items of personal data,- for example, name and address,  location data, IP addresses, banking data, dates of birth, student ID numbers, MAC addresses 
• Commercially confidential data - data which will be subject to commercialisation, for example, patenting, or other forms of Intellectual Property protection
• Data belonging to third parties - for example, data which you have received from external companies, which are not yours to share

If you handle any confidential data,  contact your faculty Data Steward  to discuss the next steps. 

3. Describe the data and code

The next step is to describe the data and code in a README file. 4TU.Centre for Research Data has prepared a dedicated guidance document to help you create a README file.

4. Upload the research data (and code) and the description of your data to 4TU.Research Data

Once you have all the data (and code) organised and the README file ready, you can  upload your data to 4TU.Research Data . Every PhD candidate at TU Delft can upload up to 1TB of data free of charge per year.

Check out this demo video from 4TU.ResearchData and contact your faculty Data Steward or [email protected] for questions.

5. Add the DOI hyperlinks into your thesis

During uploading the data (and code) into 4TU.ResearchData , a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) link will be assigned to the data (and code) which you can see under “DOI reservation”. Now add the DOI link to a Supplementary Information section or any other relevant section in your thesis. You can adapt the statement below: 

All research data and code supporting the findings described in this thesis are available in 4TU.ResearchData at: [insert the DOI links]. 

6. Submit your thesis for examination

Now your thesis is ready to be sent to the examiners. Good luck!

Campus. The fascinating site for the new library on the 1960s campus of the Delft University of Technology is overshadowed by a large, brutalist concrete auditorium from Van den Broek & Bakema. The university needed a campus atmosphere: lawns with flowers and trees where students and professors meet informally on broad stairs. A modern library is served by computers, most of the books are stored in basements. It is a building where technique is displayed. In this way the programme was formulated.

Glass and grass.  The Van den Broek & Bakema auditorium sits like a huge frog in the green grass. The vast lawn is lifted on one edge like a sheet of paper and shapes the roof of the new library. The grass roof is freely accessible for walking and lounging, creating a new amenity for the whole campus.

The roof is supported by slender steel columns in a huge hall enclosed with canted, fully glazed walls. The base of the slope to the west is marked by a broad flight of steps leading up to a recessed entrance. A huge cone pierces the green expanse. Supported on splayed steel columns, the cone houses four levels of traditional study spaces connected by a helical stair. Within the cone, a central void provides daylight from a glazed roof to the internal reading spaces. Extending forty metres above grade and floodlit at night, the cone acts as a beacon on the campus day and night.

The new library reveals itself as a building of glass and grass. A building of the future, where 300 of the 1000 study places are equipped with terminals. The conditions of the ‘electronic highway’ have been fulfilled, but there is also sufficient space for smelling and feeling the books. 

Hanging bookcase.   The interior of the library is characterised by an enormous spaciousness, thanks, particularly to the large, central hall. The atmosphere in the building is warm. The floor has the colour of the Sahara and the furniture is made of warm MDF board. The most requested books are housed in a four storey high bookcase hanging in front of a deep blue rear wall. The hard, metal ceiling is softened by the light coming from the columns. The lower part of the columns consists of gratings through which warm air is blown into the building. Via glazed facades and interior walls, a necklace of glazing placed around the cone, and the glazed roof at the apex of the cone, daylight penetrates deep into the building. The transparency that is thus created makes the building bright and surveyable.
