EBSCO Open Dissertations

EBSCO Open Dissertations makes electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) more accessible to researchers worldwide. The free portal is designed to benefit universities and their students and make ETDs more discoverable. 

Increasing Discovery & Usage of ETD Research

EBSCO Open Dissertations is a collaboration between EBSCO and BiblioLabs to increase traffic and discoverability of ETD research. You can join the movement and add your theses and dissertations to the database, making them freely available to researchers everywhere while increasing traffic to your institutional repository. 

EBSCO Open Dissertations extends the work started in 2014, when EBSCO and the H.W. Wilson Foundation created American Doctoral Dissertations which contained indexing from the H.W. Wilson print publication, Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities, 1933-1955. In 2015, the H.W. Wilson Foundation agreed to support the expansion of the scope of the American Doctoral Dissertations database to include records for dissertations and theses from 1955 to the present.

How Does EBSCO Open Dissertations Work?

Your ETD metadata is harvested via OAI and integrated into EBSCO’s platform, where pointers send traffic to your IR.

EBSCO integrates this data into their current subscriber environments and makes the data available on the open web via opendissertations.org .

Overview of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

What are etds.

An ETD is an openly-accessible electronic version of your thesis or dissertation that will be kept by Duke University Libraries instead of a bound paper copy. The transition to ETDs is a cooperative effort between The Graduate School and the library. All the information presented here comes from these two sources and represents the official policies of Duke University.

How do I submit my thesis or dissertation?

The process is  done online . Step-by-step instructions are provided at the submission site, and formatting guidelines are provided by The Graduate School’s  Guide for Electronic Submission of Thesis and Dissertation (PDF) . The Graduate School also has  Word and LaTex templates .

What are the benefits of open access for my thesis or dissertation?

• Greater visibility helps improve your reputation in your field. Many scholars today do their initial searching on a topic online. Scholars seeking to build their reputation need to make their work accessible in forms actually used by potential colleagues and employers.
• Scholarly communication happens very quickly today. Internet availability is much more beneficial than the long delays and added costs that accompanied library processing and lending of print theses and dissertations.
• Your thesis or dissertation will become part of a growing international collection of ETDs through the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations.
• Because your work, and the fact that it is your work, will be easy to find, it will be much harder for anyone to appropriate your research without giving you credit.
• Research shows that scholarship available on the internet through open access is cited more often, and is cited sooner, than work that is available only through a subscription or the loan of a print copy.
• Multimedia objects, including color images, hyperlinks, audio, video, spreadsheets and databases, even virtual reality worlds can be easily incorporated into your dissertation and can readily be made available to all of your readers.
• You can include a stable URL for your work in a CV or e-mail it to colleagues and hiring committees. Because our database is OAI compliant, your work also will be found by major search tools.
• Open access more fully embodies the goal of the thesis or dissertation to be a public contribution to scholarship. On the internet your work can reach an audience whose interest in it may have been unforeseeable. New possibilities for interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary research, and the formation of unexpected research collaborations, are created by open access to scholarship.

About ETDs at the University of Pittsburgh

Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) at Pitt are one of the final steps in the graduate student experience. However, the ETD process begins early and involves learning new skills and gaining knowledge, both about your research topics as well as about the process of creating and publishing a document. 

This website is broken into steps to help you along the way. When you start the thesis or dissertation process, right after your proposal is accepted, read the material on the "Prepare" page to get you started on the right path and to save you time and frustration later. As you work and write, check back on our "Write" pages for resources that will help you with common questions and problems during the process. And when you are nearing the end, make sure to read the "Submit" pages so that you know what you need to do and when. 

If you are interested in the Pitt ETD program broadly, you can also  search the ETDs or read about the program's history and statistics .

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The ETD (Electronic Theses and Dissertations) collection contains records of theses and dissertations submitted electronically. Graduate students began submitting ETDs during the Spring semester of 2004. Electronic submission was optional until the Fall semester of 2004.

If your thesis or dissertation is one of the print-only works completed prior to 2004, you can help us make it available online for use by researchers around the world. If you would like to grant permission to the Library to digitize your work, follow the instructions on the distribution consent form here . Theses and dissertations will be digitized as time allows and will not become immediately accessible.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Electronic Theses and Dissertation (ETD) website is a one-stop shop for everything graduate students need for submitting their final documents electronically. The ETD Guide provides step-by-step instructions, with visual examples, to help explain the Graduate School’s formatting and production requirements. Students are encouraged to read the ETD Guide before writing and make sure to refer to the guide throughout the writing process. Using one of our ETD templates can also simplify the formatting process.

Before submitting the first ETD draft, all students should review the ETD Process page , which provides important details about each stage of the ETD review and approval process.  Also, students are encouraged to review this ETD formatting checklist , which covers some common issues.

The NC State Graduate School offers 100% electronic processing for graduate theses and dissertations. This means that all ETD reviews, ETD final submissions, Graduate School and Advisory Committee ETD approvals, and NCSU Library catalogs are electronic. The public may access NC State ETDs online on the library’s repository website.  After consulting the ETD Guide, feel free to send any questions to the ETD Reviewer ( [email protected] ).

Electronic Theses & Dissertations (ETDs)

• Submission Checklist
• Formatting Requirements
• Submission Deadlines

An Electronic Thesis or Dissertation (ETD) is a requirement for graduation from Doctoral programs and available to graduates from Masters programs.

What is an ETD?

An electronic thesis or dissertation (ETD) is a digital version of a thesis or dissertation that will be deposited in the JScholarship repository managed by the Sheridan Libraries and be available online to the public.

Universities and colleges in the United States and abroad have been moving toward this type of publication for the past decade. Johns Hopkins started its own ETD program beginning in the fall semester of 2013.

Who does this apply to?

• Required for all PhD Students
• Optional for Masters students with a required thesis; contact your graduate office for information
• Other graduate degrees: Consult with your graduate office

How and when do I submit my ETD?

• Submit after you have defended your thesis or dissertation and made all edits required by your committee
• Follow the formatting requirements
• Login with your JHED ID to the JHU ETD submission system , fill in the required metadata, and upload a PDF/A file of your thesis or dissertation
• The required PDF/A file format is different from a standard PDF. Please see the formatting requirements for further instructions

Fee Payment

The ETD submission fee is $60 and may be paid by credit card or by funds transfer from your department. The fee is due at the time of submission; payment verification is required for approval.

Pay by Credit Card – $60

IMPORTANT: If the card you are using is not your own (e.g., spouse or parent’s card), proceed with the payment at the site, but then email your name, your JHED ID, and the name of the credit card owner to [email protected] so we can link your submission with the payment.

Pay by Department Funds Transfer

NOTE: This option is available at departmental discretion. Request that the department administrator fill out the PDF form and submit it to [email protected] .

Frequently Asked Questions

No. If your department does not coordinate printing and binding, you might consider Thesis on Demand or PhD Bookbinding . You can upload your PDF, and they will print it, bind it, and ship it to you.

Yes. No individual file can be larger than 512 MB, and the total size of all files cannot exceed 4 GB. If your thesis or dissertation is larger than that, please email [email protected] .

Within two months following degree conferral, ETDs are published to  JScholarship , our institutional repository. There are separate sections in JScholarship for masters theses and doctoral dissertations . If you placed an embargo on your ETD, only the metadata (author, title, abstract, etc.) will be available until the embargo period is up.

Your ETD will be published to our institutional repository, JScholarship , within two months following degree conferral. An ETD is considered published when it is deposited in JScholarship, even if it is under embargo.

Once published, changes cannot be made to your ETD. Your ETD will be published within two months following degree conferral. You are responsible for ensuring your ETD has been thoroughly proofread before you submit to the library.

Students submitting Electronic Theses and Dissertations are responsible for determining any copyright or fair use questions. For assistance, please consult the Copyright LibGuide or contact the librarian listed on the guide.

By default, ETDs are published to JScholarship within two months after you graduate. If you wish to temporarily restrict public access to your ETD, during the ETD submission process you can embargo your document for up to four years. Please note that the title and abstract of your document will still be visible during your embargo. You may release your document from embargo early or extend it up to the four-year maximum by emailing [email protected] . Once your document is publicly accessible, however, we cannot make changes to embargoes.

Electronic theses & dissertations (ETDs)

Electronic dissertations and masters’ theses have been deposited in the Libra scholarly repository at the University of Virginia since 2012. Libra makes UVA scholarship available to the world and provides safe and secure storage for the scholarly output of the UVA community. Submitting your work to Libra is a graduation requirement for all graduate students whose programs have required theses and for PhD students. LibraETD is can be used by all students, undergraduate  or graduate, whose programs have optional theses or capstones.

Before you upload your thesis or dissertation, be sure you have reviewed:

Copyright Essentials for Scholarly Work  (including Graduate Students)

The ETD Submission Checklist

Older dissertation formats

All dissertations submitted to the UVA Library in CD format were deposited into Libra in early 2014. Access to these items is UVA-only, replicating the accessibility level of the originally deposited CDs.

If you are the author of one of these dissertations and would like to change the access level to be world-wide open access, please  contact us .

Paper copies

We no longer accept paper copies for the Library shelves.  Many frequently requested dissertations from the UVA collection have been added to Libra through a generous grant from Jefferson Trust. If you are the author of one of these dissertations now in Libra and would like to change the access level to be world-wide open access, please  contact us .

If your dissertation was published in paper previously and you would like it to be added to Libra, please  contact us .

Many UVA dissertations were deposited in ProQuest until 2012, and some students continue to take the option to deposit to this commercial vendor of databases and other information products. ProQuest’s  Dissertations and Theses Full Text  database contains many dissertations published in the U.S. and is used by scholars worldwide whose institutions opt to provide paid access to the database. ProQuest also sells full-text copies of dissertations directly to the public, though it is worth noting they do not share revenue from those sales with authors. NOTE: To access "online" ETD's in Proquest, you must be affiliated with an institution that subscribes to the ProQuest database.

ProQuest charges fees for submission, and they have particular formatting and copyright requirements.  Please see their  submission instructions  for details. UVA does not require thesis or dissertation deposit to ProQuest, nor does UVA have an institutional agreement with ProQuest for such deposit. Students who opt to deposit with ProQuest do so as individuals contracting with this vendor.

ETD Overview

Since Fall 2005, the Graduate School at Baylor University has required that all theses and dissertations be electronic only and submitted online to the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Collection in the BEARdocs institutional repository. The purpose of this guide is primarily to provide general information related to ETD issues and information about the process of submitting ETDs to BEARdocs. The primary audience is graduate students who are preparing to submit their thesis to BEARdocs and the faculty who work with these students.  

Advantages of holding theses and dissertations in an open and online environment include:

• ETDs are more easily discoverable because the repositories are accessible to search engines like Google and others.  Google also adds content pulled from institutional repositories to Google Scholar .
• Scholars and researchers can more easily find other scholars and researchers who share similar interests.
• New research is more quickly encountered than it is in the traditional print publishing environment.
• Potential to make your name and your work more well known, which may enable getting employed more quickly.
• Plagiarism of openly accessible work is easier to detect than plagiarism of print works.
• Within the BEARdocs system, you can demonstrate interest in your thesis via the usage data provided.

For detailed information on the practices of other institutions with ETDs, the ETD community maintains this  spreadsheet .  To find electronic theses and dissertations at other institutions use the Global ETD Search  provided by the  Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations .

Using the ETD Submission System

The submission of your thesis to the ETD submission system, is a simple process and should require very little time.  Below are the basic steps for this process.  If you have any questions or encounter any problems, contact [email protected]

• Login -- with your Bear ID and password -- to the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Submission System at: http://baylor-etd.tdl.org .
• More than one entity at the university can use this submission system. To submit to the Graduate School, make sure you select Baylor -- Graduate School and make sure the button says Start Graduate School Submission before you start your submission. 
• Some personal information about you will be supplied automatically because of your Bear ID/password login. If this information is not accurate (usually issues with name changes), contact  personnel in the Graduate School so they can correct this information after you have completed your submission.
• Read the sticky notes on each page before you complete the information on that page.
• Place your mouse over the " information icon " to see the help information for each part of the submission form.
• Any part of the form flagged with an asterisk ( * ) is an area that must be completed.

Sticky Note Information Icon  

• You must agree to the license agreement .  The license agreement gives Baylor University and the Texas Digital Library (the host of the ETD submission system) non-exclusive rights to distribute (if not embargoed) the thesis and to make copies (for preservation purposes, in case we need to convert it to another format in the future).   The author/creator of the work retains all copyrights.   The license also asks that the person submitting the work guarantees that s/he is the copyright holder and that s/he has permission to use any third-party (copyright-protected) material used in the work.
• Degree Date -- Use the calendar function to select the appropriate graduation date, either May, August, or December and the appropriate year.
• Defense Date -- Use the calendar function to select the exact date of your defense.
• Submission Type -- Several options display; select either Dissertation or Thesis , whichever is appropriate for your degree.
• Committee Chairperson -- This part of the form provides the option to identify more than one person.   Only provide one name -- the name of the person who served as your advisor/mentor/chairperson/supervisor during the writing of your thesis/dissertation. Start typing that person's name. If the name appears on the list, select it. If it doesn't appear on the list, type the full name as you know it -- LastName, FirstName .
• Previously Published Material -- This section refers primarily to students whose theses have chapters that -- as a departmental requirement for graduation -- consist of the word-for-word full text of articles that have been published in peer reviewed journals . In this field, provide the complete citation for each work  using this format: Author1Lastname, Author1Firstname; Author2Lastname, Author2Firstname.  "Title of Article.  Journal Title (year) volume#: issue#, page numbers. Separate multiple citations with a semicolon.  For example: Smith, James; Jones, Sarah.  "This is the Title".  This is the Journal Title (2015) 35:4, 23-35; Smith, James.  "This is Another Title".  This is Another Journal Title (2014) 24:2, 38-50.  
• Embargo Options -- Select the same embargo option that you and your advisor selected on your " Copyright and Final Approval " form.  You may want to view the " Embargo " section of this guide for information on making that decision. 
• Primary Document -- Thesis document in the  PDF/A  format.
• Supplemental Document -- " Copyright and Final Approval " form and all documents that give permission for the use of third-party (copyright-protected) content in your thesis -- i.e., previously published journal articles that are also chapters in your work.
• Confirm and Submit -- You are provided one more opportunity to review the information and documents you've provided.  You can click on the " [edit your...] " link associated with each section if you need to make changes.  Once you have clicked on the " Confirm and Submit " button, you will not be able to make changes unless Graduate School or library personnel send you a " Needs Correction " notice.  
• At any point, you can login to the submission system to see the current status of your submission, as well as a log of comments related to your submission.  Although you can't make any changes in your submission, you can send a message to Graduate School or library personnel from within the system.
• Early in the semester after you graduate , your thesis will be " published " to the BEARdocs Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection , which means the descriptive information (including the abstract) will be findable by search engines and the full text of your thesis will be accessible -- if you have not embargoed the work .  
• Once the thesis is published in BEARdocs, the thesis will be assigned a permanent URL that you can use in your CV, on web pages, or anywhere you want to promote your thesis.  
• To obtain that URL, look for your thesis by your name in the BEARdocs  Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection  a couple of months after you have graduated.

Format, Submit, Discover

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The UCI Libraries provides formatting and submission support for graduate theses and dissertations. Theses and dissertations may be submitted electronically (via ProQuest), or on paper. Electronic submission best serves the majority of our graduate students and is highly encouraged.

If you have questions about formatting or the submission process, read through the FAQs or email [email protected] . If you have questions or concerns that do not relate to the formatting of your manuscript, please contact Graduate Division . 

The filing deadline for a Spring 2024 degree is 5:00 pm on  Friday, June 7, 2024.

The formatting manual.

Please consult the  UCI Thesis and Dissertation Formatting Manual  when writing your manuscript. In addition to providing detailed information about proper formatting, the manual details the submission process and provides sample pages and templates.

Pre-Submission (Formatting) Critiques

Pre-submission critiques are available to all graduate students who would like the formatting of their manuscript looked at before final submission. You may request a pre-submission critique on a working draft of your thesis. 

Pre-Submission Critiques are no longer available for Winter Quarter 2023.

As you approach the filing deadline, the availability of formatting critiques changes as follows :

It may take up to 2 business days (M-F, excluding holidays) to receive a response to your question, critique, or ProQuest submission - especially during high-volume times in the quarter.  

Please plan accordingly; we respond to questions as they come in and cannot rush or expedite any reviews.

Electronic Theses, Dissertations, and Reports

All K-State graduate students are required to submit an electronic version of their thesis, dissertation, or report. The Graduate School does not accept paper copies.

This overview provides the basics about the process for theses, dissertations, and reports in an electronic format at K-State.

Open Access

Electronic theses, dissertations, and reports (ETDR) submitted by K-State students are openly available through the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx) and are indexed by Google, Google Scholar, and other search engines. For information on copyright and your ETDR (such as how to legally reuse others’ works and what to do if you want to publish sections or chapters of your ETDR with an academic journal), please visit Copyright Information for Graduate Students .

Formatting your ETDR

Templates are available for Word and LaTeX. You're not required to use a template, but they do offer time-saving features such as automatically generating your table of contents and lists of table and figures.

Your ETDR must follow specific formatting guidelines . The ETDR Handbook (PDF) , the ETDR Formatting Checklist , and other tools and resources in this site demonstrate how to correctly format your ETDR to meet Graduate School requirements. K-State recommends you use the provided template options and review the videos located on the ETDR Template Resources page.

ETDR submission and other requirements must be completed by specific deadlines in order for students to graduate and participate in commencement with a designated term. Refer to the Graduation and commencement checklists at the beginning of the term in which you intend to graduate to make a plan for completing all requirements on time.

Prior Publication of A Chapter

Follow these guidelines if you have published a chapter of your thesis or dissertation as a journal article .

Saving your ETDR as a PDF

PDF is the format you will submit for the final version of your document after working in Word. The two important details of the PDF are that your formatting remains intact and your Table of Contents, Lists of Figures and Tables, and other links are clickable and go to their destination. In most cases you can use Word > Print > and then selecting PDF to output your document. You can also choose Save As > PDF in Word. You can also use Adobe Acrobat to export the Word document to PDF. In some cases, these steps can result in non-clickable links. When this happens, using Word online in your browser can be a solution. See instructions under "Outputting your ETDR as a PDF from Online Word" on the Frequently Asked Questions page.

Personal Bound Copies of Your Thesis, Dissertation or Report

You are not required by the Graduate School to submit a bound, paper copy of your ETDR. Many students, however, are interested in obtaining a bound copy for their personal use. Students can order a bound copy online by sending the PDF of your ETDR to Thesis on Demand or to PHD Book Binding . Bound copies also may be printed through K-State's University Printing , but hard-cover binding is not available.

If you have questions on any aspect of your ETDR, start by utilizing the templates, tools, and resources . Additionally, help is available through the Graduate School and the IT Service Desk. See Help and Contact Information to determine which office to contact for your specific question.

ETDs: Virginia Tech Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Permanent URI for this community

Virginia Tech has been a world leader in electronic theses and dissertation initiatives for more than 20 years. On January 1, 1997, Virginia Tech was the first university to require electronic submission of theses and dissertations (ETDs). Ever since then, Virginia Tech graduate students have been able to prepare, submit, review, and publish their theses and dissertations online and to append digital media such as images, data, audio, and video.

University Libraries staff are currently digitizing thousands of pre-1997 theses and dissertations and loading them into VTechWorks. Most of these theses and dissertations are fully available to the public, but we will, in general, honor requests by the item's author to restrict access to Virginia Tech only. See our process for Requesting that Material be Amended or Removed .

To search all Virginia Tech print and digital theses and dissertations, use the University Libraries ETD resource guide .

Materials that are restricted to Virginia Tech only may be requested via your own university or public library's Interlibrary Loan program or through the VTechWorks request form that appears when you try to access the item. You might also be able to obtain a copy of the work through ProQuest's database of theses and dissertations. If you are on a Virginia Tech campus but are unable to find the pre-1997 thesis or dissertation you are seeking in VTechWorks, you may also be able to order a physical copy from library storage. Please check the library catalog at http://www.lib.vt.edu/ for physical copies.

The guidelines that apply to Virginia Tech's graduate students as ETD authors can be found at http://guides.lib.vt.edu/ETDguide .

UT Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Permanent URI for this collection https://hdl.handle.net/2152/11

This collection contains University of Texas at Austin electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). The collection includes ETDs primarily from 2001 to the present. Some pre-2001 theses and dissertations have been digitized and added to this collection, but those are uncommon. The library catalog is the most comprehensive list of UT Austin theses and dissertations.

Since 2010, the Office of Graduate Studies at UT Austin has required all theses and dissertations to be made publicly available in Texas ScholarWorks; however, authors are able to request an embargo of up to seven years. Embargoed ETDs will not show up in this collection. Most of the ETDs in this collection are freely accessible to all users, but some pre-2010 works require a current UT EID at point of use. Please see the FAQs for more information. If you have a question about the availability of a specific ETD, please contact [email protected].

Some items in this collection may contain offensive images or text. The University of Texas Libraries is committed to maintaining an accurate and authentic scholarly and historic record. An authentic record is essential for understanding our past and informing the present. In order to preserve the authenticity of the historical record we will not honor requests to redact content, correct errors, or otherwise remove content, except in cases where there are legal concerns (e.g. potential copyright infringement, inclusion of HIPAA/FERPA protected information or Social Security Numbers) or evidence of a clear and imminent threat to personal safety or well-being.

This policy is in keeping with the  American Library Association code of ethics  to resist efforts to censor library resources, and the  Society of American Archivists code of ethics  that states "archivists may not willfully alter, manipulate, or destroy data or records to conceal facts or distort evidence." Please see UT Libraries'  Statement on Harmful Language and Content  for more information.
