English abstract

Theses and dissertations have always been one of the most important types of grey literature for the scholarly world. However, there has always been a debate on their accessibility issues. In majority of cases, the usage of these documents is limited only to the University Level. The submission of theses and dissertations in electronic format has increased the opportunity for the user community to have access to the knowledge embedded in these works through various national and international e-theses & dissertations repositories. In India, UGC Regulations 2009, made it mandatory for every doctoral researcher to submit his/ her thesis in electronic format to the university concerned which are then deposited in INFLIBNET’s Shodhganga: a reservoir of Indian theses. The present study reports the status of ETD contributions of Universities of Maharashtra.
