Theses And Dissertations

When I first began working with electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), the conversation in libraries appeared to revolve around open access and publication embargoes. It seemed to me that the primary task for scholarly communication librarians in this area was to broaden access to graduate research while protecting future publication opportunities for individual authors. As graduate students begin to publish earlier in their careers, the relationship between the doctoral dissertation and scholarly publishing is evolving. Many students now include their own previously published work in a dissertation, requiring instruction in publication contracts and copyright transfer agreements at the point of submission to the graduate school.

Paper Address

This paper describes a project led by the Instituto Brasileiro de Informações em Ciência e Tecnologia (Ibict), a government institution, to build a national digital library for electronic theses and dissertations - Bibliteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). The project has been a collaborative effort among Ibict, universities and other research centers in Brazil. The developers adopted a system architecture based on the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) in which universities and research centers act as data providers and Ibict as a service provider. A Brazilian metadata standard for electronic theses and dissertations was developed for the digital library. A toolkit including open source package was also developed by Ibict to be distributed to potential data providers. BDTD has been integrated with the international initiative: the Networked Digital Library of Thesis and Dissertation (NDLTD). Discussions in the paper address various issues related to project design, development and management as well as the role played by Ibict. Conclusions highlight some important lessons learned to date and challenges for the future in expanding the BDTD project.

Abstract Objective: To characterize researches that evaluate actions implemented with a focus on sexual and reproductive health; to describe factors that favor or hinder its application in Primary Health Care. Method: Scope review performed from the databases LILACS, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, CINAHL and POPLINE, and in the Brazilian Electronic Theses and Dissertations Digital Library. Data collected in January 2019 and analyzed according to the health evaluation literature. One reviewer performed the selection and extraction. Articles and academic research developed in the Brazilian scenario and published between January 1994 and January 2019 were included. Results: Of the 14 publications included, more than half corresponded to prenatal care and reproductive planning. The evaluation identified issues of context, and physical infrastructure influenced the implementation. Conclusion and implications for practice: Management and professional efforts are necessary for the implantation, sustainability, reformulation, and evaluation of these actions.
