Paper copies are not usually required.
Exception: if you request confidentiality and your department wants a
departmental library copy (give the Thesis/Dissertation Office the
copy instead of your department).
If you want a hard copy for personal or departmental use,
consider using Boiler Copy Maker in the Purdue Memorial
Union.
You may also obtain hard copies through ProQuest*.
*allow 6-8 months for their arrival due to Purdue and ProQuest processing times
If you wish to include previously copyrighted information, the
copyright-holder must give you tangible permission (email,
letter, or contract).
You will need authorization to use your own material if you
signed over your copyright to a journal – review all contracts
carefully.
Failure to attach permission(s) could result in unauthorized
material being expunged by ProQuest or they may decline to
publish the entire thesis.
Be careful when creating your ProQuest account as extra
services require payment.
If you pay for something you don’t want, you will need our
assistance to request a refund through ProQuest – this process
can take several weeks.
To submit your electronic thesis/dissertation create a student
account on the ProQuest ETD Administrator website.

Upload permission letter/emails as supplemental PDF files
when you submit your thesis/dissertation.
Links to sample permission letters and emails can be found on
the Guidance page of the Thesis/Dissertation Office webpage.
Additional information on copyright law can be found on
Purdue’s Copyright Office’s webpage.
A thorough review of your format is part of the deposit
process. Due to this step, we do not conduct pre-checks before
you submit to ProQuest.
Even if your thesis/dissertation has been approved by your
Departmental Thesis Format Advisor (or major professor),
staff from the Thesis/Dissertation Office will review your
document.
If your document meets all Purdue formatting guidelines, your
thesis format will be approved.
You will receive an email (to the email address your use when
creating your ProQuest account) telling you your format is
approved.
If your document does not meet all Purdue formatting
guidelines, you will receive an email* outlining the
corrections that need to be made.
You should make all corrections as quickly as possible and
resubmit.
*to the email address your use when creating your ProQuest account
The Thesis/Dissertation Office staff will review your
document after resubmitting your document.
The process continues until your format is approved.
You will then receive an approval email* with the next steps
you should take.
*to the email address your use when creating your ProQuest account
Your document will appear online through ProQuest
approximately 5-6 months* after graduation (appearance in
Purdue’s e-Pubs will take longer).
Please read your ETD approval email carefully – it provides
important information regarding your publication and can
answer most lingering questions.
* subject to Delay of Publication or Confidentiality requests
To make a change to an approved thesis/dissertation:
Request a copy of GS Form 37 from the Thesis/Dissertation Office.
Have it signed and approved by your major professor, department
head, and Dean of the Graduate School.
Pay the $200 Late Graduation Fee*
*Fee can potentially be appealed using GS Form 38
Refer to page 13 in your packet
You can find MS Word templates for PC & Mac in the
Templates section of the Thesis/Dissertation Office webpage.
Keep in mind that although these templates are created with Purdue
formatting requirements in mind, you may have to manually format
part of your thesis/dissertation while using these files, which can take
time if you are not familiar using MS Word’s advanced features.
The Thesis/Dissertation Office strongly recommends that you
use puthesis, the LaTeX template for Purdue theses and
dissertations.
We offer a Template Guide which provides:
Instructions for using MS Word
Formatting guidance
Troubleshooting for common errors
If you cannot find a solution to your issue in the Template
Guide, visit Microsoft’s extensive help pages.
If you have an issue and cannot resolve it using the Template
Guide and Microsoft’s help pages, send an email to
gradhelp@purdue.edu with WORD TEMPLATE in the
subject line.
Refer to page 14 in your packet
You can find puthesis (the LaTeX documentclass) and help on
Purdue’s engineering webpage.
LaTeX is free and is available for a wide range of operating
systems.
Web-based Overleaf licensures with loaded puthesis will soon be
available.
Most LaTeX theses/dissertations are approved the first or
second time.
LaTeX is not error proof:
Some blank pages may have to be removed (after Abstract or between
appendices and between chapters).
Watch for consistency with dates, degrees, names, etc.
The mini-headers on each page of your Table of Contents & List of
Tables/Figures may not automatically appear on all pages as required.
Be sure the default paper size is Letter Setting 8 ½” x 11”.
If you have an issue and cannot resolve it using the extensive
FAQ section on the puthesis main page, send an email to
gradhelp@purdue.edu with PUTHESIS in the subject line.
Refer to page 15 in your packet
8 ½” x 11” should be default setting.
Avoid using A4 settings.
The Thesis/Dissertation Office does not require a specific
font, however, some departments have style guidelines that
will dictate font choice – be sure to check with your
department.
Use a standard academic font (Times New Roman, Calibri,
Computer Modern, etc.).
University format requirements emphasize consistency.
Font size variations in tables, figures, captions, symbols or
when using mathematical/scientific terms is generally
acceptable.
Spacing will be determined by style guidelines:
APA
Chicago
MLA
Council of Biology Editors
Double spacing and 1.5 line spacing are considered standard.
Long quotations, headings, and captions may be singles
spaced.
Multi-lined headings, subdivision headings, figure captions,
table captions, footnotes, and endnotes are normally single
spaced.
Avoid having a single line of a paragraph appear at either the
bottom or top of a page – always have at least 2 lines together.
Turn on your “Widow Control” function in Word or LaTeX.
Avoid headings with no text underneath at the bottom of
pages.
Avoid running headers (as used in APA style).
All pages are numbered except cover pages.
Preliminary pages: use lowercase Roman numerals:
Title page is technically page number i, but the number is hidden.
Starting with Chapter 1, switch to Arabic numerals
The first page of Chapter 1 is page number 1
Page numbers go in the upper right corner of the page:
½” below the top edge
1” from the right edge
Page numbers must be in the same font and font size as your
text.
#1: COVER PAGE (GS Form 30)
#3: BODY OF DOCUMENT
No page number/not included in page count. For pagination, use Arabic numerals starting at 1.

New Graduate School
Requirement
 Effective September 1, 2014, a new certification is
required when all dissertations and theses are
deposited in the Graduate School.
 The degree candidates major professor must certify in
Section III of Graduate School Form 32:
 “I certify that the author’s manuscript was diagnostically
reviewed by iThenticate on the date indicated below.
Based on the results of the iThenticate diagnostic review;
and, to the best of my knowledge, the manuscript
includes original work of the author and, in good faith, I
believe all content from other authors appearing in the
thesis/dissertation has been properly quoted and
attributed.”
Graduate School: Thesis Formatting and Deposit Workshop
3
iThenticate
 Software created by iParadigms for the publishing
industry to allow publishers to monitor for potential
copyright infringement.
 Because it was created for publishers, they have
provided to the software access to published text both
on the open internet and digital content that is behind
paywalls that would otherwise require a paid
subscription to access.
 As a result, iThenticate is able to compare an uploaded
document to a greater portion of the published
literature than other software created to detect
potential plagiarism.
Graduate School: Thesis Formatting and Deposit Workshop
4
Detection of plagiarism
 Please note that no software can detect plagiarism.
 Software can detect text in an uploaded manuscript
which is identical or nearly identical to text in the
published literature.
 The existence of identical or nearly identical text does
not always represent potential plagiarism.
 The judgment of a scholar experienced in the discipline
is needed to determine whether the existence of
identical text represents potential plagiarism.
Graduate School: Thesis Formatting and Deposit Workshop
5
How it works …

iThenticate runs on iParadigms’ servers. User account accessed via the
internet using a username and password. No local client required.

Draft manuscript in a standard digital word processing format (MS
Word, Word XML, WordPerfect, PostScript, PDF, HTML, RTF, HWP,
OpenOffice (ODT) and plain text) is uploaded; iThenticate begins
review automatically. User can log out and review will continue.
Review of a thesis completed in 30-45 min (or less) depending on
length.

When complete, result is a Similarity Report consisting of a color
annotated copy of the manuscript and a color-coded list of identified
source documents (linking identical text to the identified source).

Links within the Report allow the reviewer to see how the annotated
text appeared in the identified source document.

Report can also be downloaded for archiving and review outside of
the software. But, review tools available with the downloaded version
are very limited.
Graduate School: Thesis Formatting and Deposit Workshop
6
What the candidate should
do …
 When a draft of your thesis/dissertation is ready, ask
your major professor to upload the draft document to
iThenticate and to review the Similarity Report with you.
 Any issues identified by iThenticate should then be
addressed in consultation with your faculty advisor and
the draft manuscript again reviewed.
 A common issue identified by iThenticate is
inappropriate paraphrasing in which the author has
attempted to state the content in their own words, but
has retained too many of the original author’s words
without use of quotation marks. This often occurs in the
literature review sections of the manuscript.
Graduate School: Thesis Formatting and Deposit Workshop
7
What if thesis chapters were
previously published as journal
papers?
 In many disciplines, graduate students publish their
research results as soon as possible during the course of
the research.
 Then, when writing their thesis, the candidate writes an
overview introduction and appends data chapters which
are either published papers or based on published papers,
followed by a final conclusion chapter.
 When such a thesis is reviewed using iThenticate, the
software identifies the previously published papers as
matches, and the report has limited utility.
 Two options:
 Review individual papers using iThenticate before submission,
and/or
 Instruct iThenticate to ignore the previously published papers
by the same author when looking for matches.
Graduate School: Thesis Formatting and Deposit Workshop
8
To obtain an iThenticate user
account
 Your major professor can obtain an iThenticate user
account quickly by sending an email requesting a user
account to jlmohler@purdue.edu.
 If you have questions, first check the following website:
http://www.purdue.edu/research/researchcompliance/integrity/avoiding-plagiarism.php
 Any additional questions regarding use of iThenticate
should be addressed to me at the email address above. If
you contact iThenticate, they will direct you to me.
