    University of Maryland, Baltimore Electronic Dissertation and Thesis Style Guide INTRODUCTION This Electronic Dissertation and Thesis Style Guide is intended to assist you in the preparation of your Doctoral Dissertation or Master’s Thesis, the final requirement for your degree. The Graduate School at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) maintains specific requirements as to the format and appearance of its dissertations and theses; such requirements assure a standard of uniformity and aesthetic consistency commensurate with the rigorous academic principles of the University. In previous years, these formatting requirements were determined primarily by the restrictions associated with the process of printing and binding the documents for publication. Dissertations and theses completed in accredited Doctoral programs are published by ProQuest through an exclusive arrangement with the Library of Congress. These documents also may be published electronically by the UMB Digital Archive. The flexibility of electronic publishing—fast becoming the standard for dissertations and theses—enables the Graduate School to determine its own standards, independent of the printing process. This guide will assist you in creating a dissertation or thesis that conforms to those standards. Through an arrangement with ProQuest, the University of Maryland, Baltimore accepts dissertations and theses in electronic format. Under this arrangement, students submit an electronic version of their dissertation or thesis directly to ProQuest / UMI via the World Wide Web. Officials from the Graduate School then review the document online and request revisions by e-mail, if necessary. BEFORE YOU PREPARE YOUR DRAFT 1.

  • Foreword to the Book, Citation Indexing by Robert K. Merton
    Foreword I like to read some general significance into Eugene Garfield’s having offered me the privilege of introducing the reader to this book, which sets out the history, method, and implications of his distinctive contribution to the advancement of science: the first multidisciplinary citation index to the scientific literature. My being a close friend cannot account for his having done so. Gene has many good friends more knowing than I about information science and the methodology of citation analysis. I suspect that the significance of his choice lies precisely there: in his having reached out for a sociologist of science rather than an information scientist. For one of the remarkable things about Eugene Garfield is that along with the imagination, pragmatic judgment, and immense energy required to invent, produce, and develop a useful tool for a seemingly routine but fundamental task in science-searching the literature- he has a deep intuitive sense of the social, cultural, and cognitive struc- tures latent in the practice of science. This found expression in his seeing, from the very start, that his invention of the Science Citation Index would develop into a powerful tool for the historical and sociological study of science. I imagine that he wanted to have the subject of the book set squarely within this broader framework rather than the primary but narrower one of information science alone. I accept the inferred assignment with pleasure-and understandable misgivings. This book is long overdue. Its most immediate didactic value resides in helping the reader to understand the concept and workings of the citation index as a device for making the search of the literature much more comprehensive and far less arduous than was previously possible.

  • The Lion, the Rooster, and the Union: National Identity in the Belgian Clandestine Press, 1914-1918
    THE LION, THE ROOSTER, AND THE UNION: NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE BELGIAN CLANDESTINE PRESS, 1914-1918 by MATTHEW R. DUNN Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: _________________________ Dr. Andrew Denning _________________________ Dr. Nathan Wood _________________________ Dr. Erik Scott _________________________ Date Abstract Significant research has been conducted on the trials and tribulations of Belgium during the First World War. While amateur historians can often summarize the “Rape of Belgium” and cite nationalism as a cause of the war, few people are aware of the substantial contributions of the Belgian people to the war effort and their significance, especially in the historical context of Belgian nationalism. Relatively few works have been written about the underground press in Belgium during the war, and even fewer of those works are scholarly. The Belgian underground press attempted to unite the country's two major national identities, Flemings and Walloons, using the German occupation as the catalyst to do so. Belgian nationalists were able to momentarily unite the Belgian people to resist their German occupiers by publishing pro-Belgian newspapers and articles. They relied on three pillars of identity—Catholic heritage, loyalty to the Belgian Crown, and anti-German sentiment. While this expansion of Belgian identity dissipated to an extent after WWI, the efforts of the clandestine press still serve as an important framework for the development of national identity today. By examining how the clandestine press convinced members of two separate nations, Flanders and Wallonia, to re-imagine their community to the nation of Belgium, historians can analyze the successful expansion of a nation in a war-time context.
