Abstract
Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) have become a valuable resource for scholarly
research and academic institutions. Efficient management of ETD metadata is crucial for
facilitating discovery, retrieval, and long-term preservation of these scholarly works. This
paper presents a framework for best practices aimed at enhancing the efficiency and
effectiveness of the ETDs metadata lifecycle. The framework encompasses key stages, including
metadata creation, quality assurance, standardization, interoperability, and long-term
preservation. By implementing these best practices, academic institutions can ensure that
ETDs are accurately described, easily discoverable, and accessible to the research community,
thereby maximizing the impact and value of these scholarly contributions. However, managing
the metadata associated with ETDs can be challenging and inefficient, leading to difficulties
in discovery, access, and long-term preservation. This study aims to develop a comprehensive
framework for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the ETDs metadata lifecycle
through the establishment of best practices.
