What is an Electronic Dissertation?
Just like the name suggests, an electronic dissertation is a digital form of your paper, which is usually uploaded on the internet for a wider audience and to help students look at previously done work. An Electronic Dissertation gives an added advantage of using technology for easier access and better expression of your work.
How can you benefit from submitting an Electronic Dissertation?
For decades together, people have been submitting a dissertation in the form of a hard copy, printed on bond paper, well-bound, and preserved carefully for years. Then why should you make the shift to digital copies?
Easy accessibility: When your work is easily available on the World Wide Web, it can be read by scholars as well as prospective employers, adding your chances of growing in your career.
Technological Benefits: Compared to a printed dissertation, a soft copy has a large number of technological benefits like ease of finding a particular topic, reading as per your own convenience, downloading for future references, etc.
Creative Possibilities: You can add a number of coloured diagrams, hypertext, spreadsheets, audio, video clips in an electronic dissertation, thus making it more appealing and explaining your topic more clearly.
Archives: As compared to printed dissertations, electronic dissertations are much easier to store and archive. Your work gets a permanent place in the online space as compared to a rack in a dusty corner in a library.
