2. When you send a student’s master’s thesis for subject evaluation.
   • Follow these instructions but note the following:
     • Send the master’s thesis including the confidential attachment forsubject evaluation i.e. not the version that has been checked for plagiarism, but the version with a confidential attachment that you received from the student by e-mail)  
     • When sending the master’s thesis for subject evaluation, remind the head of the subject that external must sign a non-disclosure agreement, i.e. an "NDA (one-sided)"
3. Send the master’s thesis for publication:
   • Send the link from Ouriginal, i.e. the version without confidential material to the Åbo Akademi University Library (abopub@abo.fi), which will publish this version, after the master’s thesis has been approved, so that is only available at the Åbo Akademi University Library. (The Library will publish the master’s thesis in its entirety after the confidentiality period has ended, so that is only available at the Åbo Akademi University Library.)

The supervisor should note that he/she is bound by the obligation of professional secrecy regarding confidential master's theses.
