LJMU E-Theses service

An E-Thesis is the intellectual content of a thesis that has been stored and made available electronically. The thesis may have originally been created in electronic form or digitised from a physical original. You’ll find more about the benefits of the E-Theses service below.

• The service is a cost effective alternative to printing and binding a large number of paper copies
• Your thesis is likely to be read more widely and cited if it is accessible online
• A permanent and stable DOI for your thesis is created for inclusion in CVs
• Familiarity with copyright and intellectual property rights (IPR) issues that may be of benefit to you in your future career
• You can express your research results in creative and flexible ways

• Access to E-Theses is quick and easy
• E-theses can be accessed by more than one researcher at a time
• Students can present their research results creatively
• Wider audience for both supervisors and students

The British Library run a service called EThOS, which offers online full text access to a growing number of UK theses.

The University is a member of EThOS. Therefore, electronic theses submitted to the LJMU E-Theses Collection will also be made available to the EThOS service. More information on searching can be found at the EThOS website.
