V Doctoral disertation
My doctoral dissertation (Ph.D. thesis; 360 pages + CD with the support material) entitled: “The utility of molecular genetic analysis of museum specimens in studying deep-sea fish”
is deposited and catalogued besides in the libraries of the Open
University, NESCOT and the Natural History Museum (London) in the
United Kingdom (UK), as well as in the British National Library
(British Library) which beside standard inter-library exchange (ILS ID
Catalogue Number: 15277461 for my thesis) made possible on-line access
for accepted British Ph.D. thesis via Web Link (http://ethos.bl.uk)
allowing faster and more efficient access to the wider UK and
international academic-research community to published British doctoral
dissertations (Ethos on-line ID for my Ph.D. thesis is:
uk.bl.ethos.489900).
