• Customize E2E Digital Workflow: It is now possible to work almost entirely digitally– The only constraint is whether or not the article or
text has been digitized– Workflow supports both analog and digital content
• Coordinate Online + Offline Work: Students can work online (Internet-connected) and offline (eReaders, e.g., Kindle)
• Use Digital Techniques + Tools: Each stage in the development of a dissertation has unique characteristics and requirements
• Improve Dissertation Quality: At the same time, the entire dissertation must hold together
