A few words about publishing
– Academic Publishing• ETD’s are not intended to take the place of
refereed journal publications or books• ETD’s are to be considered the same as the
traditional “publishing” of a thesis or dissertation
– Publishing vs. SubmissionPublishing an ETD does not mean that it was submitted electronically. Submitting an ETD does not mean it will be published electronically

Definition of an ETD(courtesy Virginia Tech. University)
An ETD is an electronic document that explains the research of a graduate student. The ETD is similar to its paper predecessor. It has figures, tables, footnotes, and references. It has a title page with the authors' name, the official name of the university, the degree sought, and the names of the committee members. It documents the author's years of academic commitment. It describes why the work was done, how the research relates to previous work as recorded in the literature, the research methods used, the results, the interpretation and discussion of the results, and a summary with conclusions.

Definition of an ETD continued• more access to research
– research is available on campus – research is accessible worldwide
• less expense to authors and libraries – no paper costs – no physical shelf space – lower cataloging costs
• better presentation of research (not available in paper format) – addition of multimedia files – more dynamic presentation of data – hyperlinks – programs and code – other format support

Brief History of ETD• Mid 1980’s Edward Fox, computer
science professor at Virginia Tech, looks for ways to disseminate student research on the web.
• 1993 Virginia Tech develops Monticello Electronic Library Project
• 1994 SURA institutions choose pdf as standard preservation medium
• 1996 Virginia Tech pilots ETD submission source:http://www.ndltd.org/info/description.en.html

Development of UMSL Initiative
The last piece of paper submitted to the Graduate School is the
Oral Defense Report.
![Page 18: Http://etd.umsl.edu The Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Initiative at the University of Missouri – St. Louis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649d495503460f94a2567d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Development of UMSL initiative
• Theses and Dissertations must be housed on the same server permanently.
• The process should work the same if the advisor and student are sharing one computer on campus or if they are in two separate locations.
![Page 19: Http://etd.umsl.edu The Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Initiative at the University of Missouri – St. Louis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649d495503460f94a2567d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Development of UMSL initiative
• What types of access should be given to the theses and dissertations?
• How do we process an ETD if the student can’t publish for legal reasons?
• How many pdf’s can a student have and how will they convert documents to pdf?
• If we become part of a consortium, how do we “brand” our research?
![Page 20: Http://etd.umsl.edu The Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Initiative at the University of Missouri – St. Louis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649d495503460f94a2567d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
