Just like journal articles, conference proceedings, and other forms of literature, they present original research. Recently completed theses can provide "sneak previews" of ideas and findings that have yet to reach the public via other publication formats. Other benefits:

- They provide insight into the early work of a particular person and have value for historical and biographical purposes.
