Since August 1st 2018 new master’s theses of the University of Turku have been published only in electronic form on the University of Turku Publication Archive. Most of the theses are available in full text and can be read anywhere through the Internet. The author of the thesis has, however, the right to restrict the access to the full text. All theses have public metadata, i.e. name of the author, title of the thesis and the abstract are publicly available. Theses with restricted access can be read fully only on the UTUPub terminals at the library.
