Open-access thesis repository launched
Theses produced by recipients of TWAS and OWSDW (formerly TWOWS) postgraduate fellowships are now being made available online for free download.
Launched in collaboration with the Academy of Sciences for South Africa (ASSAf), TWAS and the Organization for Women Scientists for the the Developing World (OWSDW) have just launched an open-access repository of theses – all available for free download.
