Knowledge Bank submission

Knowledge Bank submission

The Knowledge Bank is a permanent archive, meaning projects should be in their absolute final form before they are submitted. As the instructions state, “All items submitted remain as is at the time of submission, just as books once published remain in the form in which they were printed. PDF files once placed in the Knowledge Bank will not be modified.”

Below are the steps for Knowledge Bank submission of the final written DNE project document:

1. The student sets up an account through the Knowledge Bank during the final semester of their final project.
   • Link for the DNE projects in the Knowledge Bank: [link to be added at a later date]
   • Link for the DNE Knowledge Bank instructions: [link to be added at a later date]
   • Approved face page template that should be used: DNE Final Project Cover Page Format Template
2. Once the student has successfully defended their project and the Chair and committee have given final approval to the document, the student submits the final approved document in WORD to the Knowledge Bank Faculty Liaison [to be determined at a later date] via email [email to be entered here].
   • The Faculty Liaison will review the document for correct formatting, etc. If there are major issues, the document will be sent back to the student and the advisor. Please submit the document in Word to permit MINOR formatting changes (pagination, margins, page breaks, etc). Content will not be edited to avoid overstepping the chair or the committee who have working knowledge of the final project.
   • Once the document has been reviewed and approved, it will be converted to the required PDF.
   • The PDF document will be emailed back to the student, their chair ,and Sean Moodie at the Knowledge Bank to provide notification that it has been approved for upload.
3. The student will then use the approved PDF and submit that to the Knowledge Bank.
   • See the instructions at http://go.osu.edu/kb-nursing-instructions).
   • The Knowledge Bank staff does a final review of submissions before they are “live” in the Knowledge Bank. Students will receive an email from the Knowledge Bank with the permanent stable URL to their project when their submission is approved and available via the Knowledge Bank.
4. The student is permitted to request an embargo, a temporary hold/delay of publication, of 1, 3, or 5 years. This allows them to delay public access to their project, during which time the public can see that it exists, but access to full text will not be available. When the embargo period is over, the Knowledge Bank staff will update the item to make it publicly accessible.

Note: Posters and PowerPoint presentations do not get submitted to the Knowledge Bank. Only the final written document should be sent to the Knowledge Bank.
