Australasian Digital Theses Program (ADT)

Introduction

What is the ADT program?

The Australian Digital Theses program prototype was developed by 7 Australian Universities during 1998-99, and then opened up to all Australian universities in the latter part of 2000. The central aim is to create a distributed national database of digitised theses available via the web. Providing access via a central database will greatly enhance knowledge about Australian theses and research both nationally and internationally.

Who is eligible to deposit a digital copy of their thesis to the Australasian Digital Thesis program?

You are eligible to deposit your thesis to the Australasian Digital Thesis program if:

• you have completed a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
• you completed your degree at the Australian National University
• your thesis has been approved

What types of theses are acceptable to the ADT Program?

For the time being the ANU is accepting Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) theses only.

When should a thesis be deposited using the ADT software?

Only theses that have met the requirements under the ANU Rules and have been officially approved as such. This may change with the evolution of the ADT program to mandatory or optional direct electronic submission.
