Issues • Doctoral thesis often stored in special repositories. Should be linked to person, organisation, event, facility, equipment and publications. • In an Open Access repository the THESIS are made public available. Should the articles embedded in the thesis also automatically be made publicly available? • The full text is usually stored in a repository eg Dspace/Eprint or other.
