Congratulations!
What’s going to happen to your thesis now?
We will keep it safely locked in the Library store, and anyone visiting the Library will be able to read it, but….. why not let the whole world find out about your research?
We’re setting up a new service called HWURPA – the Heriot-Watt University Research Publications Archive.
This will include digital copies of Heriot-Watt PhD theses, to be freely available on the internet. In future, all Heriot-Watt PhD students will be required to provide a digital copy of their theses, which we will make available directly from HWURPA.
Be a pioneer and your thesis could be one of the first in HWURPA.
Research shows that a digital thesis is consulted 10 times more often than the printed equivalent, so making your thesis available this way would make your research more widely known.
Interested?
Simply give us an electronic copy of your thesis and we’ll do the rest—within a few weeks your thesis could be there for all to see.
Contact us for more details about how to give your thesis to us.
