Scholarly Publishing

BU faculty, staff, and students produced meaningful scholarship and research with far-reaching impact. Digital Ventures’ scholarly publishing services help BU scholars publish and disseminate their scholarship and facilitate greater access to information and knowledge for the broader community.

OpenBU

OpenBU is BU’s digital institutional repository for scholarly articles, theses and dissertations, preprints, and grey literature. This repository enables BU researchers to share, disseminate, and preserve their scholarship, and makes their research more accessible.

Theses and Dissertations

Students required to produce a thesis or dissertation must submit the final document to the BU Libraries before being awarded their degree. In addition to facilitating the electronic submissions of theses and dissertations, we provide guidance on preparing the final manuscript.

To learn more about formatting and submitting your thesis or dissertation, visit our Guide for Writers of Theses & Dissertations or contact us at theses@bu.edu
