How to Submit Documents
Papers
Final documents should be run through an accessibility checker and corrected accordingly. Most word processing software has this available. This will help with proper ADA tagging and reading order for use with electronic screen readers. All images on your paper must have alternative text (alt text) applied to them if the image(s) are central to the information being conveyed in your document.
Make sure your document(s) are in an acceptable format. We can accept papers in Microsoft Word (*.DOC/*.DOCX, Rich Text Format (*.RTF), or Adobe Acrobat (*.PDF - preferred).
If you use a word-processing program other than Microsoft Word, look for an "Export" or "Save as" option in the program you are using and save the document as an *.RTF file. If you have questions, please contact ScholarWorks@boisestate.edu

Any additional files must be approved by the committee chair, and evidence of this approval must be sent to the repository manager at ScholarWorks@boisestate.edu
