In addition to Digital Commons, ETSU disseminates its scholarly output of master’s theses and doctoral dissertations in ProQuest Dissertation & Theses Global in order to promote and preserve the intellectual output of its master’s and doctoral degree candidates. 

 

ProQuest® Dissertation & Theses Global reaches 3,100 universities with over 200 million searches annually and supports discovery of scholarly output through many major subject and discipline indexes (MathSciNet, PsycINFO, ERIC, etc.). ProQuest provides these services at no charge. ProQuest facilitates the nonexclusive distribution of your master’s or doctoral thesis. You are eligible for a 10% royalty based upon sales and usage of the full text of your work distributed by ProQuest. You may withdraw your work from distribution at any time. Further author agreement information can be found here.

 

To set up your account to collect Royalties, place an order to purchase bound copies of your thesis or dissertation, or for any other questions, please contact disspub@proquest.com
