Welcome to the University of Edinburgh Publication Scheme

The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 requires the University to adopt, maintain, publish and review from time to time a publication scheme. A publication scheme is a list of the sorts of information that the University will make available on a routine basis.

This website is one of the ways that the publication scheme (and much of the information made available through it) can be accessed. You can browse and search the scheme through the links on these pages. In many cases the scheme points to information that is available on the University website, where this is the case a link is given to the appropriate web page. In a few cases, information is only available in hardcopy. Where this is the case, the publication scheme will tell you how to request a copy.

A printout of the publication scheme is available by selecting the printer friendly link below and printing the document on your printer. Alternatively, you can request a paper copy of the publication scheme by contacting the Records Management Section; please click on the "contact" link at the top of the page.
