Here is the place where you can find out why you should publish your Master Thesis in full text over the Internet and how you can do it easily.

What is Web-publishing?
Web-publishing is the process of making a web document available to the public over the Internet. In general, not all documents are necessarily intended to be published on paper. Publishing a paper document implies steps such as making copies available to multiple readers, telling readers where to pick them up, ensuring enough copies are always available, removing them when document is outdated.
Web-publishing allows a better, faster distribution of the document.

Who can do it?
NORAD Fellows are invited to submit their Master Thesis in full text.
You can submit your thesis today, even if you wrote it several years ago.

Why should you do it?
Your thesis will be archived as an electronic document and will be available in the future for yourself and others via a permanent URL (web address).

When you are applying for a job or you want to present your thesis, it is easy to refer to it since its web address will never be removed.

To publish on the internet will let you promote your skills to a large audience.

This is a very inexpensive solution to a world wide diffusion of your findings.

Your thesis is always available to someone who wants to read it. It won't be necessary for the reader to wait for an available paper copy of your thesis.
