OhioLINK ‘s ETD Center publishes electronic theses and disseratations from universities participating in OhioLINK. The following Japan-related theses and dissertations from Ohio State are currently available there.
Since 2002/03 new PhD dissertations are automatically posted at OhioLINK . Full text versions of many earlier Ohio State Japan-related PhD dissertations are available through Dissertation Abstracts (ProQuest Dissertations & Theses) It is possible to request that MA/MS theses (which are not available through Dissertation Abstracts) be posted at OhioLINK when there is demand for them. Recently a request came in from the West Coast for a number of DEALL theses on the Japanese language. The library was able to respond by digitizing the theses. (This is only possible for theses that are older than 5 years, due to an option that the Graduate School gives the author to delay publication for up to five years.) That’s why so many Japan-related theses are now available.
