Submitting Your Thesis or Dissertation to ProQuest ETD: Publishing Information

For Cummings School, the purpose of this guide is to outline the process for submitting your work to ProQuest ETD to be published online, as well as to be captured in the Tufts Digital Library.

Once Logged In

This is the homepage that you land on once you've logged in. Before you begin the submission process, you need to have several items available.

The main goals of this section are to decide your publishing options and to enter your contact information. There is a $95 fee for Open Access Service publishing.

Although the information is saved when you click "Save & Continue", all information can be edited until you submit.

Items to Have Before Your Start

  • Copy of Dissertation or Thesis in PDF, Word, or RTF
  • Abstract
  • Supplementary Files (Optional)
  • Advisor and Committee Members' Names
  • Subject Categories

You can jump to any section of the submission process. Most steps are not sequential, though all sections should be reviewed before completion. A PQ publishing option must be selected before viewing the ProQuest agreement.
