Summary: PQ/UMI® Guide F2009
I
Guide 1: Preparing Your Manuscript for Submission (Including
Supplemental Files)
Submit as a PDF
The manuscript of your dissertation or thesis must be submitted to UMI Dissertation Publishing in
Adobe PDF format. When preparing your PDF, be sure to do the following:
Embed all fonts (further information is provided below related to embedding fonts)
Make sure there is no password protection on the PDF
Ensure that security settings allow printing
Verify Proper Formatting
UMI Dissertation Publishing makes no changes to the formatting or content of submitted
manuscripts. Therefore, the burden of how the manuscript looks when it is accessed or printed is
entirely the responsibility of the author. UMI strongly recommends that individual authors take
responsibility for reformatting the document into Adobe PDF, for checking the reformatted
document for accuracy, and for submitting the PDF document to the graduate school or library for
publication.
Abstract
We no longer have a word limit on your abstract, as this constrains your ability to describe your research in a
section that is accessible to search engines, and therefore would constrain potential exposure of your work.
