Thanks to the legal deposit requirement for doctoral theses in electronic format, the thesis benefits from a permanent URL and permanent archiving by the Centre informatique national de l'enseignement supérieur(CINES).
- Open access gives your doctoral thesis real visibility at national and international level, making it easy to consult.
- Internet publication enables the major specialized search engines to harvest your thesis data 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 by a multitude of people.
If the author of the thesis refuses its distribution, electronic access to the thesis will be restricted to members of the French Higher Education and Research community via an intranet.
The author can also choose to freely distribute his thesis after an embargo period during which the thesis will only be distributed on the intranet.
Access to the full text varies according to the author's choice of distribution channel
