K-State Electronic Theses, Dissertations, and Reports
Beginning Fall 2007, all graduate students are required to submit an electronic version of their thesis, dissertation, or report. The Graduate School will no longer accept paper copies.
Electronic theses, dissertations, and reports (ETDR) offer these benefits to K-State graduate students:
- More efficient: Write and submit your work entirely within the digital domain. ETDRs eliminate the hassle and expense of making multiple print copies.
- New technology: With ETDRs, students can incorporate music, images, video, datasets, and other digital formats in their work.
- Faster processing: It used to take months before theses and dissertations were available in the Library. ETDRs can be processed and available online within days.
- Increased access: ETDRs submitted by K-State students are openly accessible on the web and indexed by Google, Google Scholar, and others. Students' research will have a greater impact. Students can request that online access be delayed (sesquestered) until patent applications are completed.
