Who Can Submit
Dissertations only publishes materials about work conducted under the auspices of Dissertations. For additional information, please contact digitalcommons@nl.edu.
Removal
A paper may be updated or removed from public view by sending a request to the system administrator at digitalcommons@nl.edu. However, a citation to the original version of the paper will always remain on the site.
Author Review
OPTION 1 (author review):
Authors are asked to review PDFs created from their papers within 5 days of being sent the PDF. At this stage, we're unable to make any changes beyond the rare error that occurs in PDF conversion.
OPTION 2 (no author review):
Authors do not have an opportunity to approve papers they have submitted prior to them becoming publicly available on the site; therefore, please be sure that the paper is ready for public distribution.
Rights and Permissions
Before submitting a paper to the repository, please be sure that all necessary permissions have been cleared. You retain the copyright to your paper and grant us the nonexclusive right to publish this material, meaning that you may also publish it elsewhere.
It is necessary that you agree to the terms of publishing in the repository listed in the author agreement. The NLU Institutional Repository Author Release Form is available here https://libguides.nl.edu/dc/dissertations
