How is an ETD similar to the paper version of a thesis or dissertation?
An ETD has the same features as its paper-based predecessor: text, figures, tables, footnotes and references. It has a title page with your name and your school’s name on it. It documents your years of academic commitment, research skill and scholarship. It tells others why you did this research, what research methods you used, how your research relates to previous work cited in your references, and what results you reached; interprets and discusses your findings; and summarizes your conclusions.
