Congratulations to all of Temple\u2019s recent master\u2019s and doctoral graduates! Temple University Libraries and University Press is proud to host these students\u2019 outstanding research in Temple\u2019s institutional repository TUScholarShare<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We received 128 doctoral dissertations<\/strong> and 47 master’s theses<\/strong> this May. Of those, only 14% chose to embargo (i.e., delay access to) their work<\/strong>. This means that most of these important publications are freely available for the public to read now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, almost 50% of these authors included their <\/strong>ORCiD<\/strong><\/a>, a unique persistent identifier that links a researcher to their work.

The programs with the most dissertations deposited this year were Educational Leadership (12)<\/strong>, Business Administration\/Interdisciplinary (8),<\/strong> and Chemistry (8), <\/strong>while the Urban Bioethics (28,)<\/strong> and Oral Biology (9<\/strong>) programs deposited the most master\u2019s theses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
