Theses and Dissertations: Finding Guide

Each institution and department offers detailed guidance with regard to publication of a master's thesis or dissertation. Publishing a thesis or dissertation is a requirement of departments and offers the students advantage of awareness within their respective professional communities beyond college. Montezuma Publishing works with SDSU students to format and prepare their theses or dissertations:

"Montezuma Publishing (MP) is a non-profit department on campus at SDSU. One of our principal areas of service is graduate publishing. For graduate students, MP is responsible for:

• Reviewing all SDSU theses and dissertations for formatting consistency.
• Publishing SDSU theses and dissertations. Since 2014, publication is electronic through ProQuest, which is the platform that SDSU uses for repositories, reference requests, and on-demand publication. Your thesis or dissertation will be available to a global audience within a matter of weeks after your graduation is posted

Montezuma Publishing is part of Aztec Shops, which is an auxiliary of SDSU. We provide these services on behalf of the College of Graduate Studies, and partner with them to verify that each document meets the requirements adopted by the SDSU Graduate Council. These criteria establish uniformity in style and presentation for all published documents.

The MP reviewers pay particular attention to the aspects of formatting that are discussed in detail below. The MP Reviewer does not read theses for content and does not perform proofreader services. Your faculty thesis committee approves content, and proofreading is your responsibility."
