Open research online

This blog post was published on October 31, 2011 at 12:12 pm GMT

The OU offers magnificent electronic access to all and sundry.  It makes available much of its teaching material, but also its research at its repository of Open Research Online, so you would think the OU research office would ask that, as part of the completion procedure, a PhD candidate uploads the finished thesis.   As part of that procedure you have to have hard copies of your thesis physically present in the OU library before the degree is conferred.  BUT not on-line.  Odd that.

So, one of the last things I’ve done for my PhD is to upload a copy of my thesis to the OU’s Open Research Online repository here.

I’ll blog elsewhere now.  To follow this post doc, continue here.
