Publishing Theses Online
What are the benefits of submitting the electronic version of your thesis to Massey Research Online?
By making your thesis available online you are providing access to material that has previously been difficult to find.
- Your thesis is published online and search engines will index its content.
- It becomes more readily available to other researchers worldwide to use and cite in their own research, thus raising your research profile.
- Your thesis can also be found by anti-plagiarism software, making it more likely that anyone plagiarising your work will be discovered.
- You will be able to see the number of times your thesis has been viewed and downloaded.
- Even if your thesis is embargoed, the title, author, abstract and keywords can be included in Massey Research Online, with the thesis itself unavailable for download until the embargo expires.
- You may save on the cost of producing print copies.
