Program Overview
The Libraries acquire printed and electronic HKU theses for PhD, MPhil, and SJD programmes. The printed theses are transferred and stored in The HKU Archives while the ETDs (Electronic Theses & Dissertations) are on open access and published in the Scholars Hub under the licensing of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License with the CrossRef DOI.
The Libraries provides a comprehensive repository (DataHub) for research data and other forms of scholarly outputs publishing. DataHub targets to storing, citing, sharing, and discovering research data and all scholarly outputs. It collects, preserves, and provides stable, long-term global open access to a wide range of research data and scholarly outputs created by HKU researchers and RPG students in the course of their research and teaching.
