Due to the legal requirement to deposit doctoral theses in electronic format, the thesis benefits from a permanent URL and permanent archiving by the National IT Center for Higher Education (CINES).
- Open access publishing gives your doctoral thesis real visibility at the national and international level by making it easier to consult the document.
- Publishing on the Internet allows major specialized search engines to harvest data from your thesis and offer it as a search result to a wider community.
- The option of free distribution on the Internet offers you an additional guarantee against plagiarism, in addition to official dating, since your work will be known to a large number of people.
If the author of the thesis refuses to allow its dissemination, electronic access to the thesis will be restricted to members of the French higher education and research community via an intranet.
The author may also choose to freely distribute their thesis after an embargo period during which the thesis will only be available on the intranet.
Access to the full text varies depending on the author's choice of distribution.
