ETHOS: E-THESES ONLINE SERVICE
EThOS is the UK’s national thesis service which aims to maximise the
visibility and availability of the UK’s doctoral research theses.
It demonstrates the quality of UK research, and supports the UK
Government’s open access principle that publications resulting from
publicly-funded research should be made freely available for all
researchers, providing opportunities for further research. EThOS helps
institutions to meet the expectation of the UK Research Councils that
PhDs supported by a Research Council Training Grant should be made
freely available in an open access repository, as indicated in its
Training Grant Terms & Conditions (Paragraph 104).
