Abstract

In the past few years, a lot has change in the landscape of ETD submittal into the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database (PQDT). New online submission options have become available, fees have been dropped, and gone are the days when copyright of the content is retained by the company.
The following poster session provides an updated overview of these online options, with an exploratory look at the current workflow models employed for ETD submittal. Workflows used for dual submission of ETDs into the PQDT database and institutional repository will be discussed and a comparative analysis of them will be provided.
