Winchester, MA In 1986 it was estimated that only 1/3-1/2 of all theses and dissertations (ETDs) were published for a variety of reasons–institutional access policies, outdated collection methods and systems, and idiosyncratic revision requirements1–to name a few. This meant that many original contributions to scholarship, the traditional academic goal for PhD research, were missing from the world corpus of knowledge.

Winchester, MA Last month DuraSpace shared a report on the current "State of DSpace" following a series of phone calls with sponsors, committers, DCAT members, and service providers. The summary can be found here http://www.duraspace.org/dspace-futures.
