DQKB Index
The NDSU Disquisition Knowledge Base (DQKB) pairs our formatting and accessibility guidelines with tips and solutions for common issues. DQKB pages can be accessed through this index, through the "In This Section" button on the breadcrumb bar, and through the site map at the bottom of our pages.
Our knowledge base is broadly divided into five categories.
- General Requirements - document-wide settings, such as the required order of sections and accessibility requirements.
- Prefatory Material - including content such as the Title page, Disquisition Approval page, Table of Contents, prefatory lists.
- Disquisition Body - your chapters and appendix material.
- Assorted Guides - procedural manuals for converting your document to PDF, making landscape pages, video tutorials, etc.
If you need additional help formatting your disquisition, please make an appointment with a graduate consultant at the Center for Writers or Instructional Design Center. If you have questions about your disquisition or the publication review process, please email the Disquisition Coordinator.
