"

Should I think about making my thesis available through Open Access?

Absolutely. Consider how much research goes into a PhD thesis and think about the number of PhD students worldwide. This is a huge resource of original research that will likely remain hidden unless shared. Making all of this work and its results freely available to everyone will be of great benefit to the worldwide research community. You may be required to make your thesis Open Access by your funder, please see our main theses page for more information."
