Dissertation and Thesis Submission

Step 6b: DIssertation Details -- Keywords

Next, you will need to add the specific details about your work. NOTE: You do have the option to insert a translation of your abstract. ProQuest will not do abstract translations for you. You will have the option of adding up to six keywords to describe your work. The library recommends perusing the ERIC Thesaurus at https://eric.ed.gov/ to gather ideas. You may wish to view other dissertations at  ProQuest Dissertations: Humanities & Social Sciences to get some ideas. You may want both broad and narrow terms. If you are unsure about which subject headings to use, consult with your dissertation chair.
