I read an article from Harvard.edu on "Myth Busting: Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)." Most of the questions are really something to ponder. This was the title of an event that happened on January 23, 2013. Just wanted to echoe this post for those who wanted to learn more about this topic. I qouted the entire article below and those who have learned about the discussion may comment below.
"...If my thesis or dissertation is available for public download, will I find it harder to publish part of it in a journal? Will an academic publisher still want to publish it as a book? What do I do if I've already published part of my dissertation in a journal? Why should I make my research available in the first place? The Office for Scholarly Communication will host a panel of faculty and students to launch a lively, engaging discussion driven by your questions about depositing your dissertation to Harvard’s digital repository, DASH. Join us to learn about the process behind and principles of providing open access to your work, and let us bust or help you reconsider some of the misconceptions about ETDs..."
