•Plagiarism
–It may be facilitated when material is freely available on the Web, but the Web also facilitates detection
–Adobe software has a function to disable copying, editing, or printing. At UW we have experimented with this function, but have decided not to implement
it.
•Publisher policies
–We advise authors to investigate the policies of publishers in their field before they take the
electronic submission option
–If we move to mandatory electronic submission, we will likely allow students to restrict their theses to
the UW domain.
