Page history last edited by WoW!ter 10 years, 8 months ago

The pinnacle of one's early scientific output is one's dissertation or thesis. More and more theses and disseratations are becoming availbale online.

 

NDLTD http://www.ndltd.org/find

A collaborative project that started already way back in 1987 to identify collections of electronic theses and dissertations. There is no official search engine for the collections, but Scirus can be used to search the collection specifically when you use the advanced search options.

 

Proquest http://www.umi.com/en-US/products/dissertations/individuals.shtml

Through Proquest you can access the most current two years of citations and abstracts in the Dissertation Abstracts database.

 

Promise of Science http://www.narcis.nl/search/coll/publication/Language/EN/genre/doctoralthesis

Search all theses of Dutch universities in a single search. The collection covers nearly 55,000 doctoral e-theses from all Dutch universities of which nearly 40,000 are available as OA publications.

 

Australasian digital theses program http://adt.caul.edu.au/

The ADT program is designed to improve access to, and enhance transfer of, the research information contained in theses by providing a full text version available from the desktop via the web. The retrieval is enhanced by the inclusion of metadata tags in the documents which are given a higher weighting by the more sophisticated search engines.
