Within few days, PH.D research scholars in the country would be required to submit their theses online thanks to a radical plan of the university Grants Commission (UGC) to create an electronic Indian Theses Database. Such a move would help overcome the serious problem of duplication (plagiarising) of research and poor quality of research resulting from the poor visibility factor in research output.
This is seen to be in line with the international trend to preserve and centrally maintain repositories of electronic theses and make them generally accessible. A UGC expert committee has prepared a Draft Regulation for Submission of Metadata and full text of Doctoral Theses in Electronic Format, which is open to public review till June 15.
Once the regulation takes effect, all universities would be mandated to set up an e- Theses repository to facilitate e- submission, archiving, maintenance and aces to these repositories at the university and also at a National repository at a website designated by the UGC.
