DIGITAL REPOSITORY-NTU

Submission procedures for students' works
 

Students are to submit the full text of their final year reports, theses and dissertation to the Library Digital Repository,  DR-NTU at http://repository.ntu.edu.sg/.  DR-NTU is an online digital archive that stores and provides access to academic and research publications of staff and students of NTU.  Students' work will be stored in the restricted portion of the Repository where access is given to only NTU staff and students.  This is a guideline for submission of works by students.

1.       Who it applies to
 

This submission procedure applies to the following groups of students:

  1. Final year students are to submit the final version of their final year project (FYP) / applied research project (ARP) reports in full text to the DR-NTU.
     
  2. Higher degree students obtaining their Master degree by coursework and who opt to submit a dissertation as part of their course requirements need to submit their dissertation in full text to DR-NTU.
     
  3. PhD students and students pursuing higher degrees by research need to submit their theses/dissertations.

Students' works which are considered by schools to be confidential (e.g. those that contain proprietary or sensitive information of collaborating parties) are exempted from submission to DR-NTU.  Your supervisor or school will inform you if you are not required to submit.


 

2.       When to submit
 

Submit the report/thesis/dissertation to the DR-NTU once it has been approved by your academic supervisor.  For actual dates, please refer to guidelines from your school.


 

3.       How to prepare your document for submission
 

  1. Orientate your page layout to portrait style.
     
  2. Convert the full text of your report/thesis/dissertation to unsecured PDF format.
     
  3. Submit your report/thesis/dissertation as 1 single file (e.g. put appendices, tables, bibliography, etc., together and not as separate items).
     
  4. Accompanying materials (e.g. photo journal, video, audio, etc) in digital format are to be uploaded as separate files, preferably in common multimedia formats.
     
  5. If your file size is above 40MB or you are unable to submit via DR-NTU due to heavy network traffic, you may submit your file in a CD or DVD.  You can hand it to any of the service desks at the libraries in an envelope addressed to:

4.       How to name your document
 

Use the following convention when naming your file for submission

  1. For FYP/ARP reports

    <School code><project number>

    eg.      SCE01.pdf [if you are from School of Computer Engineering and your project number is 01]

    For accompanying materials, append letters "a", "b", "c", etc. after file name

    eg.      SCE01a.mpg

     
  2. For dissertation/thesis
