Preprint a doctoral thesis as a manuscript?

Some or all of the work reported in a thesis dissertation may not have been published in the traditional sense, and such work can be of value to the scientific community. Considering this, and that a majority of theses are not electronically available, would Nature Precedings accept doctoral theses as manuscripts?

We’ve already had some enquiries about this, and in principle I think we would accept them. My main concern is that theses don’t overwhelm the other forms of content, but I guess that’s unlikely.
Of course, we would apply the same acceptance criteria to theses as to other contributions.

yes. it a pity, many new and creative ideas were ignored, but it is not impossible to publish on such journals.
