The open availability of doctoral theses from the central, authoritative, reliable Web service EADD has undeniable benefits to their own students, the research community and the general public. The EADD is the gateway to display the results of original scientific research, but also the use and re-use. So, for the researcher who submits the thesis, the point is timeless EADD visibility and dissemination of labor, increasing the potential references and international recognition. Taking even mind that every doctoral dissertation is one of the first texts in which a researcher is known in the academic community, perceived the great importance of proper disposal, disposal and documentation of the thesis for further development of the new investigator .
