While ETDs have been part of academia for over 20 years, this is only the third survey that attempts to collect data on the general practices of academic institutions around the world regarding ETDs. For the purpose of this survey, an ETD is a born-digital document that represents the research/writing of a student completed at the culmination of a degree program, e.g., masters or undergraduate honors thesis, doctoral dissertations, scholarly project, etc.
The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. Please paste the URL below into your Internet browser.

Information from the 2021 International Survey of ETDs will be summarized and shared broadly through publications, presentations and in easily accessible public repositories.
Thank you very much for participating in this important documentation.
