See the Creative Commons website for more information about the license. If you accept these check the box next to “I confirm the license above."

After completing the final step, your submission will enter a queue for review by your program administrator. Your paper will be closed for further edits and will not be accessible in the public app during this review period, but it is still possible to view your submission by logging into DukeSpace and navigating to: https://dukespace.lib.duke.edu/mydspace. Should you see any changes that need to be made, contact your program administrator so that they can return your submission for edits. Similarly, if they notice anything that requires revision during their review process, they can return your submission with comments noting requested edits. Once an item has been approved and is publicly accessible, changes may only be made under exceptional circumstances; typographical and formatting errors do not qualify. When your submission has been reviewed and approved, you will receive a notification email with the permanent handle for your work in DukeSpace.
