When this material was created, the Faculty of Medicine at MU required that the graduate theses be submitted in both printed and electronic form (the electronic form by means of the information system of the Masaryk University IS MU). Therefore, for comparison we can create an online version of the bibliographic reference to the same graduate thesis.
In our example we opened the website of the graduate theses archive containing a link to the dissertation in a PDF file (upper right figure). We copied the link for the purpose of creating the bibliographic reference, or rather – because the IS MU allows it – we displayed additional information about the file. This contains two links to the PDF file, one of which allows public access to the file and the other one only after being logged into the IS. We chose the link with public access so that readers outside the Masaryk University also could display the document in the event that they need it.
Sedlakova V. Components for modelling lung structure - grounds for engineering lungs [dissertation on the Internet]. Brno (Czechia): Masaryk Univ., Faculty of Medicine; 2018 [cited 2019 Jan 24]. 125 p. Available from: https://is.muni.cz/auth/th/x1g2r/Doctoral_thesis_Sedlakova.pdf
When creating the bibliographic reference, we proceeded in the same way as with the printed version with the following difference: because of the form of the document and according to the instructions of the NLM style, we entered dissertation on the internet as the type of the document and added information on the accessed date and URL of the document.
We obtained the URL by copying the link to the PDF file from the Graduates and Theses website of the Masaryk University.
