How does the Electronic Theses/Dissertations (ETD) Submission Form work?
Answer
There are three parts to fill out in the mandatory ETD Submission form:
- Thesis Upload, after answering basic information about yourself and your thesis
- Copyright and Conformity Statement: certifying you are not infringing on copyright and giving JCU the rights to archive your thesis (and potentially publish it online depending on the options chosen in part 3)
- Access Statement
The Access Statement has 3 options:
- Worldwide access under a CC BY-NC-ND license
- Restricted access only to the JCU community under a CC BY-NC-ND license
- No public access
Only the first option (worldwide access) requires an embargo, which is a 3-year delayed release of the thesis.
For more information about the embargo, please visit the How to submit theses page of the John Cabot University ScholarShip - Digital Archive. You can also contact the Reference and Instruction Librarians for help at referenceservices@johncabot.edu.
