Holistic Health Studies (HHS) Research Guide

A research guide for HHS students on how to find books, articles, and websites related to this area of study. The guide also provides several useful databases and tutorials.

How to Access the MAHS Research Papers

The MAHS research papers can be found in the Library’s Digital Collections for more streamlined access (formerly in Sophia). Be aware that some of the theses from the last several years are embargoed by the authors for a specific period of time. Pre-2015 theses are in print in the Library, and can be requested.

You can search the Digital Collections using the search box on the upper right-hand side of the page. In the MAHS collection, use the facets on the left-hand side to filter by author and/or date.

How to Submit Your 2025 MAHS Thesis

Please follow the instructions on the guide linked below.

Joint Work and Copyright

The thesis that you create together is considered a joint work as defined by U.S. copyright law (a work “prepared by two or more authors with the intention that their contributions be merged into inseparable or interdependent parts of a unitary whole.” 17 U.S.C. § 101). Co-authors own the work's copyright jointly and equally. Each co-owner is independently entitled to use or license the work in whatever way they choose, without getting the consent of the other co-owners. This is the default position of U.S. copyright law. 

We encourage you to review the information linked below, and have discussions about the implications of joint authorship while you are in the process of creating your work. If you want decisions about your work now and in the future to be made as a group, then we recommend that you create a written joint agreement.
