![Page 5: The DART-Europe E-theses Portal and ETDs from the Czech Republic Martin Moyle Digital Curation Manager UCL Library Services, UK m.moyle@ucl.ac.uk 4 th.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649c9e5503460f9495de05/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Open access e-theses: why?
• Make the very latest research available to others• Highlight the work of early-career researchers• Showcase research groups and universities
– increase the impact of academic institutions– stimulate academic and industrial collaborations
• Public visibility helps to detect (and discourage) plagiarism
• Can include supplementary data sets,
models, multimedia, etc.
