What is TDX
- TDX Tesis Doctorals en Xarxa
TDX (Theses and Dissertations Online) is a digital cooperative repository of theses presented at Catalan universities. The theses included are full text and open access.
The inclusion of the theses is compulsory since 2012 due to a change in Spanish legislation (article 14.5 of RD 99/2011).
TDX goals are:
- To publish, worldwide and on the Internet, the results of university research.
- To offer the authors of theses a tool to increase public access to their work and enhance its visibility.
- To promote open scientific production.
The theses included on TDX are described with Dublin Core metadata and use the interoperability protocol OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting), which increases visibility when offered together with other repositories.
