The university publishes theses and dissertations on the internet through the St. Luke's International University Repository (SLIU Repository). This section explains how to register your thesis.

The Repository is a system for disseminating the university's research results internationally via the internet. The Repository holds digitized versions of theses and dissertations as well as research results from the university such as bulletins, research reports from KAKENHI and COE programs, academic journal articles by faculty members and conference presentation materials, for dissemination within and outside the university. The St. Luke's International University Open Access Policy, released in FY2019, allows faculty and staff to self-archive their academic results.

Government regulations require doctoral dissertations to be published on the internet. St. Luke's International University has decided to publish its theses in the SLIU Repository, via which the digitized versions are also collected by the National Diet Library.
The regulations do not specifically require Master's theses, research projects and reports for practical assignments to be registered. However by doing so you can gain exposure to researchers around the world and can disseminate your research results more widely.

The electronic data of the submitted thesis will be handled in accordance with the St. Luke's International University Academic Information Repository Detailed Regulations. The author retains the copyright of the thesis. Publication on the internet will be made in accordance with the Application for Registration of Academic Information Repository (Thesis) submitted with the electronic data.

Submit your thesis in electronic form and the Application for Registration of Academic Information Repository (Thesis) to the Educational Records and Programs Section together with any relevant documents.

PDF files are used for registration and publication in the form intended by the author. If you do not know how to make PDF files, ask at the Learning Community Support Office (Learning Commons 302, 3rd floor of the Main Library). There is a computer in the library where you can use Acrobat.

The application form is how the author agrees to publication of their thesis on the internet. Be sure to read the form carefully and fill in the required information. The form is distributed by the Educational Affairs and Student Affairs Division together as part of thesis-related documents, and can also be obtained from the Academic Information Center page of Web Nadeshiko.
