Copyright ownership of such works shall vest with the Creator.” Rutgers departments set their own requirements for thesis and dissertation deposit.
This typically means quoting other authors, visualizing ideas with images (photographs, charts, diagrams, graphs, maps), utilizing previously created data, or incorporating musical works, sound recordings, or audiovisual works into your work.
For departments that also require submission to Pro Quest, you grant Pro Quest the right to reproduce and distribute your thesis or dissertation under traditional or open access publishing.
At Rutgers, generally authors submit dissertations to RUetd for archiving and public access.
For many years UMI served as a national archive of theses and dissertations, also expanding their scope to international theses and dissertations.
Pro Quest continues to serve as a trusted full-text archive of theses and dissertations and has been recognized as Offsite Digital Repository by the Library of Congress.
