Research Publications

Since awarding our first research grants in 1971, the Psoriasis Association has funded over 200 projects. If you'd like to learn more about the results of these projects, take a look at paper and PhD thesis libraries below.

Paper Library

The availability of the full text for each paper will depend on whether the article is open-access or not. An open-access paper can be read online by anyone and requires no payment, whereas a closed access paper will cost money to read. The abstract or summary, however, should be freely available for all papers. This will give you an overview of the work that has been done and what the researchers found out.

Thesis Library

The availability of a thesis will depend on whether it has been embargoed, which means that the thesis has been completed but no-one can read it yet. The embargo can last for months or years. This allows the researcher time to publish their work as research papers before the thesis becomes available.
