The Four Steps
Note: It is recommended to go through the Training section before using the templates.
Step One: Use the ETD templatesThe UNB ETD program gives students the option to use helpful and versatile thesis/dissertation templates in various formats (Microsoft Word, LaTeX, WordPerfect), which are formatted and structured based on the standards and guidelines of the School of Graduate Studies. Step Two: Use the Thesis Development System to submit drafts for reviewThe Thesis Development System (TDS) is an online content-management system that enables students to manage their review cycle electronically. Students working with larger files or are working remotely will find this resource especially useful. Step Three: Convert to PDFA PDF version of the final copy of your thesis or dissertation is required for deposit in UNB's digital repository, RiverRun. Step Four: Submit final version to RiverRunRiverRun is a digital repository created to capture, archive, and distribute the University's electronic research records, such as theses and dissertations. It is also a way to permanently preserve your work and be immediately accessible online. For an example, see this entry. |
