2.1 Navigation and abbreviations
MENU leads to the thesis's site map at the bottom. A yellow arrow to the right on each page takes you to the top of the chapter. The thesis title leads to Start (Ch. 4). "Doktorsavhandling" in the yellow row leads to the Foreword (Ch. 0). TIPS under the title are suggestions of related chapters. ↗ = external link.
The word before BiBB links to the free encyclopedia BiBB
and the word before Wikipedia to Wikipedia, several languages.
⊽ = mouse over for more info. ꜜ = see text on the same page.
Mouse over in a (ref, yearꜜ) with a small arrow opens a box with more info. (ref+) = The resource is directly available online through the reference.
404 is a standard error codeWikipedia for a page that is no longer accessible. Usually removed or moved. Common in the web world.
After some longer quotations there is Originalꜜ With a mouse over or click – required on a mobile/iPad – you see the original quote, for example in English, German, or French.
For reading the thesis chapters in order, there is navigation at the bottom of every chapter.
2.2References 2.0 and quotations
How can the references in a thesis be made more useful for everyone?
On a web-based thesis, a number of things are possible that are impossible in a printed book and difficult or impossible in a PDF.
Through 'ref+' in a reference in the text, you see that the referenced text is freely and directly available via the References chapter.
Usually in theses, a reference is given as (Johnson, 1989) or (Smith, 2017). In this thesis, the reference's 'title' is often included to provide the reader with some content guidance.
Mouse over or click on 'Original' for quotations in the original language.
In many references in Ch. 33, 'Context' leads to the paragraph or chapter where the reference is cited.
Some references are found in a 'local' archive behind password ꜜ.
2.3Sharing pages
The fact that the collegial discussion (Ch. 30.2.1) is an essential part of how research evolves and gradually becomes ‘science’ is something highlighted by, among others, (Kristensson Uggla, 2019). Every unique page in the thesis can now easily be sent to someone else, shared on social media, or printed.
The site's sharing function – which you find at the bottom of each page and in the side menu in several chapters – is an example of the increased information convenience offered by theses and research in web format, compared to PDF format. This is good both for scientific discussion and for an interested public. About sharing via a Thesis card (Ch. 26.6).
2.3.1Sharing via QR code on a mobile phone
You can easily test that the thesis can be read and shared via a mobile by pointing your (or someone’s) camera app towards the QR code found on almost every page. In an iPhone, a yellow field appears. Click on it and the current page now opens as a separate window on your (or someone else's) mobile.
2.3.2Printing the thesis
The thesis chapters can – separately – be printed as if in PDF format. (If you use ‘Save as’, it is likely that you will download the page in HTML format, which is probably not intended). Links within the same chapter in a PDF work within that document. Links in a PDF to other chapters lead to the site online or to entirely external sites. When printing on paper or as a PDF document, you should note the update date of the current version, found at the bottom of the site's pages.
When you save a chapter as in PDF format or on paper, the menu at the bottom is not included. The word 'MENU' at the top is replaced by 'Contents', which in a PDF document links to Contents (Ch. 3) on the site.
2.4'Extra' chapters and temporary texts
A thesis published on a 'thesis site' offers many new possibilities for communication and comments. The chapters Comments (Ch. 100) and Frequently Asked Questions (Ch. 101) and Thesis Blog (Ch. 102) are not part of the thesis but are on the thesis site to increase interest and facilitate reading by others.
Additionally, the chapters become part of the university’s cooperation taskBiBB.
Some chapters – example – have sections that begin with // Temporary text:. This means that the section will not be included in the version of the thesis submitted for the public defense. You can see it as an annotation feature.

2.6Archive behind password
Some references and articles in the thesis are in a password-protected PDF archive to avoid indexing by search engines. In a few cases, these are articles found behind a paywall that may be of particular importance for readers outside academia. The files must not be re-published.
