You should be aware of the benefits of publishing your disquisition. 例如, 作为一个赠地机构, 乐虎电子’s tradition and mission includes sharing research with others. By publishing your disquisition once it’s approved, you establish your copyright ownership of the work. When others cite your disquisition, 这对你是有益的, and making your work available to others can promote contact with other researchers within and across disciplines. 

All NDSU disquisitions are expected to be made available to the public shortly after they are approved by the 研究生院.

 

Delaying the Release of or Embargoing Your Disquisition

For a number of reasons, you may wish to delay the release of his or her disquisition. 这些原因可能包括:

  • Patent application review or the protection of proprietary material
  • Sensitive information provided by a data source
  • Academic or commercial publication

 

NDSU allows for a delayed release period of six months, one year, or two years. This period will begin on the final day of the semester in which you graduate, and will extend for the period requested. 在此期间, the disquisition will not be available to the public (including employers and other researchers) for the time requested. If you delay the release of your doctoral dissertation, your dissertation video will also be embargoed. 也, if any printed copies are ordered through ProQuest, they will not be delivered until the end of the requested time period. 

To request a delayed release of your disquisition, complete and submit the 延期放行表格 到研究生院. Please note that the completed form must be approved and signed by your adviser, your department chair or program director, 研究生院院长. While obtaining these signatures, consult with your adviser and your department to make sure a delayed release is necessary.

To request an extension to an approved delayed release, you must contact the 研究生院 直接填写 Delayed Release Extension Form. Any additional extensions to the time period requested in the initial delayed release may only be approved by the dean of the 研究生院. You will not be contacted regarding the expiration of your delayed release, and you are solely responsible for requesting any extensions to an approved delayed release.

In a major study published in July 2013, 基于2011年的一项调查, only 7 percent of scholarly presses would refuse to consider a book manuscript because a dissertation was available in a digital repository. 

However — again reinforcing the need for discipline-specific guidance for students making decisions about sharing their work — publishers in some specific fields indicated they would never consider a book manuscript based on a publicly available dissertation. 

The study found a strong correlation between the size of the university press and its willingness to consider manuscripts on a case-by-case basis, with larger presses indicating they would always review such proposals. 在一般情况下, university press comments in this study, 和其他地方一样, emphasize the fact that the book manuscript is always revised in response to editorial guidance.
