Abstract

Those who support the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) program at Kansas State University have learned much since starting the journey in 2004. Organizational structures, policies and procedures, and technology have changed dramatically over the years and have made supporting ETDs through periods of change challenging but by no means insurmountable. This presentation will provide an overview of K-State’s ETD program including personnel roles, submission and review workflow, support services, preservation, and how the infrastructure has evolved over the years. K-State’s ETD program and supporting services are decentralized with various organizational units providing support in specific areas but cooperating closely to ensure the 450+ theses, dissertations, and reports created every year are processed, preserved, and made openly accessible through the K-State Research Exchange, the institutional repository. The presentation will provide key pieces of good practices related to copyright (including author rights) services, ETD licensing, formatting assistance services, and how to build and maintain support services, even in a decentralized environment. Graduate students are being asked more and more to publish prior to thesis and dissertation completion and to work closer with private industry, potentially involving corporate intellectual property and trade secrets, to be more competitive post-graduation. The presentation will touch on ways to manage risk while maintaining a commitment to open-access. The presentation will conclude with considerations for the future and possible plans for the improvement of K-State’s ETD program.
长盛不衰:长期ETD项目的经验和最佳实践
那些支持堪萨斯州立大学电子论文和学位论文(ETD)项目的人从2004年开始的旅程中学到了很多。多年来,组织结构、政策和程序以及技术都发生了巨大变化,这使得在变革时期支持etd具有挑战性,但绝非不可克服。本报告将概述K-State的ETD计划,包括人员角色,提交和审查工作流程,支持服务,保存以及多年来基础设施的发展情况。K-State的ETD项目和支持服务是分散的,各个组织单位在特定领域提供支持,但密切合作,以确保每年创建的450多篇论文、论文和报告得到处理、保存,并通过K-State研究交流中心(机构存储库)公开访问。该演讲将提供与版权(包括作者权利)服务、ETD许可、格式化辅助服务以及如何构建和维护支持服务(即使在分散的环境中)相关的关键良好实践。越来越多的研究生被要求在毕业论文和论文完成之前发表论文,并与私营企业更密切地合作,可能涉及企业知识产权和商业秘密,以提高毕业后的竞争力。该演讲将涉及在保持开放获取承诺的同时管理风险的方法。报告将以对未来的考虑和改进K-State ETD计划的可能计划结束。
