Digital Live Thesis (DLT)
An upgraded R&D document standard transforming how research is documented and shared
Digital Live Thesis (DLT) is an R&D document standard initiated by Quantum Polymath in April 2025. Unlike traditional academic theses, which are static documents written once and published as-is, a DLT is a living, evolving, modular thesis hosted and maintained digitally. This innovative approach transforms how research is documented, shared, and evolved over time.
Core Principles
Documents that evolve with research progress and new findings
Tracking changes and maintaining research history
Flexible organization of research components
Seamless integration with digital tools and platforms
About Digital Live Thesis
Traditional academic theses and research documentation are often static, difficult to update, and lack the flexibility needed for modern collaborative research. The Digital Live Thesis (DLT) framework addresses these limitations by creating a new standard for living documents.
A DLT is hosted and maintained digitally, allowing researchers to continuously update findings, incorporate feedback, and expand on their work over time. The modular structure enables researchers to organize their work into interconnected components that can be individually updated and referenced.
With built-in version control, collaboration tools, and digital integration capabilities, DLT represents the future of research documentation in the digital age.
