Tailieomvang

Tailieomvang is a Dutch term used in academic contexts to denote the extent or length of a thesis. It is most commonly defined as the total number of pages of a thesis, but it can also be expressed as word count in some catalogs. The term is used in bibliographic records, theses databases, and university registries in the Netherlands and Flanders, and occasionally in English-language catalogs to describe the size of the work.

In practice, tailieomvang is a piece of metadata accompanying a thesis record. It helps librarians and readers gauge the scope of the work and assists students in planning and meeting program requirements. The count may include front matter such as title pages, abstract, table of contents, and references, depending on institutional conventions. Some catalogs separate main text pages from supplementary material.

Measurement and reporting: Most institutions report tailieomvang in pages (bladzijden), commonly ranging from a few dozen pages for bachelor projects to well over a hundred for master theses. Word counts are provided in some catalogs or digital repositories, especially when page counts are not comparable across formats.
