This initiative hinges on radical collaboration, and we need your participation. The success of BRUM depends on researchers like you choosing to list your work on the platform. Your contribution involves simply providing an abstract and a multiple-choice of topics relating to your research along with author details which, rest assured, will not be displayed online. As the author, you retain full control—deciding whether or not to respond to any enquiries directed to you.
From the information you submit, all that will appear on The BRUM is a reference in a standard format and your abstract. When someone shows interest in obtaining a copy of your thesis or dissertation, they complete a contact form with their details and the reason for their request. After moderation (no barraging by bots), you will receive an email containing their contact details along with the reason for their request. You are then personally able to make the decision whether you wish to send them a copy of your research and / or start a dialogue with them.
