Likewise, since the end of 2016, ESAN University has had an Institutional Repository https://repositorio.esan.edu.pe/home that preserves and disseminates the academic production of the institution. In this repository, the full texts of research papers for obtaining a bachelor's degree and graduation theses are available. Master's and doctoral theses are registered referentially, and the availability of the full text is subject to the authorization of the authors; otherwise, only the record with an executive summary is presented.

THESES FROM OTHER UNIVERSITIES

Academic institutions publish full-text theses in open access through their institutional repositories, with the aim of disseminating, preserving, and giving greater visibility to academic production. These repositories are collected and integrated into platforms with national, regional, and even international reach, which facilitates consultation and the exchange of knowledge on a global level.
Below is a selection of repositories that house academic theses; however, it is possible that some records may have access restrictions, in accordance with the dissemination and rights policies established by each institution.
