The production
of theses and dissertations in electronic format provides a range
of benefits to students.
- Students should be kept fully informed
of the regulations relating to the submission of ETDs
- Students should be encouraged to use the
electronic medium to express their research results in creative
and flexible ways.
- The cost effective aspect of ETDs could
be promoted where students would otherwise be required to
provide multiple copies of printed theses.
- The benefits of improving I.T. skills in
the process of producing an ETD should be highlighted.
- Attention could be drawn to the likelihood
of the student’s thesis being read more widely as a
result of it being available on the web.
- Students should be assured that an embargo
period can be agreed if they wish to publish their results
in other formats before the full text of the thesis is made
available on the Web.
- Students should be advised that a non-exclusive
copyright arrangement can be agreed if they wish to publish
the thesis in its entirety elsewhere.
