Aaltodoc Publication Archive web address: https://aaltodoc.aalto.fi

Aaltodoc digital publication archive consists of full text materials produced in the university, such as theses, journal articles, conference publications and research materials produced by the schools of Aalto University.

The service is subject to the law on the provision of digital services, which requires that public online services must be accessible.

We have assessed the accessibility of the service ourselves.

Accessibility status of the digital service

The Aaltodoc publication archive largely meets accessibility requirements. There are areas on the website that need improvement, including:

Non-accessible content

Disproportionate burden

The main content of the Aaltodoc publication archive consists of published PDF files. PDF files have been produced over an extended period by students, researchers, and staff using various versions of Adobe Acrobat and other software. In addition, older material that has not been published in electronic form has been digitized. PDF files have not been individually checked for accessibility.
