Some items to have on hand:
- A PDF copy of your dissertation/thesis. This must be a single file. If your manuscript is in Word or RTF format, we can convert it into a PDF.
- Abstract
- Optional Supplementary files (images, data, etc.) that are an integral part of the dissertation/thesis, but not part of the full text.
- Advisor and other Committee Members' Names
- Subject Categories - 1 - 3 that best describe your dissertation/thesis' subject area.
ProQuest charges different publishing fees depending on the publishing options that you select.
- The current fee for the Traditional Publishing option is $65 for doctoral dissertations and $55 for Master’s theses.
- The fee for the Open Access Publishing option is $160 for doctoral dissertations and $55 for Master’s theses.
- UCI will the cover the cost of the Traditional Publishing fee ($65 for doctoral dissertations, $55 for Master’s theses) regardless of whether you select the Traditional or Open Access option.
- Students who choose the Open Access option will be responsible for paying the difference between the Traditional Publishing Fee and the Open Access Fee. ($95 for both doctoral dissertations and Master’s theses)
- Single files: using git simplifies things as there's only a single version of a manuscript.
- Merging: if two people work on the same file at the same time, they can be merged without much issue.
- Simplified "diff" documents: can also use latexdiff-vc (latexdiff with version control) to make pdf files similar to Word documents with "Track Changes". More information here.
- Easier collaboration: No need to email files back and forth.
