Now that your Masters paper has been approved, it is time to publish it.
We are now publishing our papers to the UNI Scholarworks database. This is a repository where masters and doctoral students can submit their work so that others may read and reference their work. Your paper will be searchable by other researchers and academics.Professors' Approval
Now that we are submitting your papers digitally, the rules have changed. Your professors don't need to sign your papers anymore. Their approval will be indicated by the approval forms that are submitted in the office (you never see them.) The digital copies won't include their signatures because your papers will be available online to the world and we don't want to make their signatures available to all. Instead, you must include the names of your 1st reader, 2nd reader and Curriculum and Instruction Department Head on Page 2 of the Masters Paper template. This will be enough. (If you want to have a printed copy of your paper with your professors' signatures, just follow the Want a Printed Copy? instructions below.)
Instructions for Posting Your Paper to ScholarWorks.
- Complete the Student Permission Form
- It will ask if you want an "embargo period". Answer "none".
- Convert your paper to a .pdf format.
- Email your the final version (pdf) to scholarworks@uni.edu
If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact Ellen Neuhaus
