Welcome to The Guide for Electronic Theses and Dissertations.  We offer this site as a resource for graduate students who are writing theses or dissertations, for graduate faculty who want to mentor ETD authors, for graduate deans who want to initiate ETD programs, and for IT administrators at universities.  The Guide is designed specifically for academic researchers and their mentors, yet anyone interested in research and e-publishing will enjoy this resource.

Published by UNESCO, The Guide is an international, "living" document, written by ETD (electronic thesis and dissertation) scholars throughout the world (see About the Authors).  The Guide will be updated regularly based on submissions by ETD authors and NDLTD members.  

We invite you to contribute essays describing your university's best ETD practices, to suggest ETD Resources, or to nominate ETDs for our Exemplary ETD Database.
