Theses

Many Unitec theses are available online through the Unitec Research Bank. Links to online theses can also be found on LibrarySearch under the Catalogue tab. The Te Puna Library also holds a print copy of some Unitec theses in a closed collection. These print copies are listed in our catalogue, and can only be used in the Library. Theses from other universities are interfiled in the general collection and may be borrowed.

Research Bank
The Research Bank (RB) team in the Library receive input for RB from the Research Outputs Management Sytems (ROMS) which is managed by the Unitec Research Office. Make sure the work you put there is open access ie. pre-print or post-print. A preprint is any version prior to peer review and publication, usually the version submitted to a journal. A postprint is any version approved by peer review. Only submit published versions in the case of open access journals.

Please contact your supervisor for UNITEC's Guide to the presentation of theses. It includes guidelines on language, style, format and copyright.
