Please minimize the use of abbreviations and do not cite references in the abstract.  Conference/meeting organizers should contact Peertechz regarding their publishing needs.

Graduate Thesis or Dissertation

Theses and dissertations represent the student author’s research or study or an extended analysis of a topic completed under the supervision of faculty at their institution as part of the requirements for a Masters degree (thesis) or Doctorate (dissertation), as set forth by the university or faculty committee. As with research articles, the structure of the thesis or dissertation explains the purpose of the treatise, a substantial historical review of the previous literature relevant to the topic of the study, describes the methodology including statistics and results and balanced discussion and conclusions of the project.  However, the structure and contents of the treatise is ultimately subject to the requirements and formal approval of a Thesis or Dissertation Committee.  Theses or dissertations should be submitted with a letter from the University or appropriate committee chairperson that the treatise has been approved.  The thesis or dissertation will then be published without modification.
