Dear List Members,
In order to make design research done at the Undergraduate level more
accessible and easily availble to other institutes, universities,
faculties and students, if the insitute/university intends to
selectively put into print some of the research, what would be the
most appropriate format?
What are the various formats in which such research is published world over?
What are the copy-right issues raised by such formats wrt borrowed
concent (viz. visuals, illustrations, quotes, etc) considering that
the intent of publishing is purely academic?
To further clarify, the general length of such theses is approximatey
around 40000-60000 words. As per existing rules, a bound copy of the
thesis is permanently kept in the university library however only for
reference. No electronic version of the same is available in the
library as yet. The university itself would be the publisher of the
research.
Would be grateful towards any advice in this regard,
Best Wishes
Anand Ramakrishnan.
Chennai, India.
