Participating in the Portal

How can I include my theses?

The Thesis Portal posts theses and dissertations that contribute not only to the study of public health in general, but also to the study of public health-related areas, such as epidemiology, nutrition, parasitology, ecology, and vector control, environmental health, public policies and the planning of health, social sciences applied to health, among others.

If your thesis or dissertation is in compliance with the Portal's selection criteria, you can e-mail it in a file containing its full text (cover, table of contents, abstract, chapters, bibliography, and attachments) in the DOC (Word) or Adobe PDF format to bvsensp@icict.fiocruz.br.

In order for the full text to be posted, we require the author sign a document authorizing this procedure. This document must be filled-out by the author, printed and signed, and sent via regular mail (Rua Leopoldo Bulhões, 1480, Manguinhos - 21041-210 - Rio de Janeiro - RJ - Brazil) or faxed to (+55-21) 2290-4925

Defense Directory

The purpose of the Defense Directory is to divulge theses and dissertation defenses that will take place in the main Brazilian educational institutions, as long as the object of the thesis/dissertation is related to the public health area.

Defenses may be queried per subject, institution, author, advisor(s), title word(s), and date.

In order to participate, collaborators must follow the instructions provided in our tutorial.
