Publishing Options: ProQuest Option 1: Traditional Publishing 1. Makes your ETD available for purchase by others (This is one way ProQuest makes their money) 2.

Publishing Options: ProQuest Option 2: Open Access Publishing 1. Makes your publication available free to others via ProQuest’s database worldwide 2. ProQuest does not earn money selling copies of your ETD, meaning they don’t make any money when people access it and you do not receive any royalties 3. Costs you $95 (which you will be required to pay before you ETD is approved by the Graduate School) MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES

Publishing Options: Marquette Open Access for FREE 1. Regardless if you choose Traditional (Option 1) or Open Access (Option 2) via ProQuest, Marquette will make your ETD available to the world for FREE. And we mean free. No cost to you, no cost to others. Q: What is so great about Open Access? A: It promotes the acceleration of research in your field and it results in higher recognition of your work Q: But what about embargoes? A: Be sure that if you select an embargo in ProQuest (6 months, 1 year, 2 years) that you select the same embargo on your publishing form. Marquette will honor your delay.

Embargos and Restrictions You must choose one of the following options for publishing: 1. Immediate access (via both ProQuest and Marquette) 2. Block access of the full text for patent or proprietary purposes for a designated period of time (6 months, 1 year or 2 years) If you choose to embargo (delay) access, the ETD will default to whichever publishing method was selected at the expiration of the embargo with ProQuest and to Open Access through Marquette ePublications.

Copyrighting Your ETD It is optional to copyright your ETD with ProQuest You already own the copyright to your work as soon as it is published. International copyright law provides full protection and establishment of the author’s rights. If you should choose, ProQuest offers an additional copyright registration service that registers your copyright with the Library of Congress, establishes your claim to copyright, and provides certain protections if violated. The cost to have ProQuest register your copyright with the Library of Congress is $55. This is a transaction between you and ProQuest, and Marquette is not involved in any way. The additional fee must be paid via credit card at the time of the electronic submission. MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL
