Hi, I am wondering if unpublished dissertations must be added to the IPUMS bibliography when they make use of IPUMS CPS? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your careful consideration of our terms of use.

Regardless of whether a dissertation is published or not, we ask that it be added to the [IPUMS bibliography](https://bibliography.ipums.org/user_submissions/new) if it uses IPUMS data and documentation. The bibliography’s broad coverage helps us better showcase the different ways the data is being used.
