Thesis collection: By subject

Aaltodoc publication archive consists of full text materials produced by the university, such as theses, reports and research materials. The self-archived versions of the articles published in the scientific journals as well as conference papers are also stored in the repository.

The majority of the publications in Aaltodoc are freely available in open Internet, and the full-text search is available. The access to the full-texts of some of the documents is restricted. Aaltodoc also contains the metadata of theses whose author has not given the permission for the electronic publishing of the full-text.

The purpose of Aaltodoc is to ensure the long-term preservation of the electronic publications and the research information produced at the Aalto University. The publications stored in the archive have a permanent URN identifier.

Aaltodoc is developed and maintained by the Aalto University Learning Centre.
