Wageningen University & Research (WUR) has joined the ProQuest® Dissertations & Theses publishing program to include its PhD theses to the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global® (PQDT) database, the leading global source of emerging research from universities around the world.
WUR focuses on three key areas: food, feed and biobased production; natural resources and living environment; and society and well-being. Its PhD theses will be accessible by PQDT users at more than 3,100 universities from around the world and will be broadly discoverable via citations in major subject indexes and Google Scholar, giving WUR’s authors more visibility and recognition. Through the ProQuest TDM Studio™ service, WUR’s works will be included among the dissertations and theses available for text and data mining, an increasingly important method of accelerating research breakthroughs.
Originally created in 1939 in microfilm format, PQDT has grown to meet the increasing demand of the global research community to archive and disseminate graduate works. Dissertations and theses often provide the most up-to-date, comprehensive and unique research on a subject and their extensive bibliographies are often relied upon to surface sources that might otherwise be missed.
The fast and seamless discovery of more than 5 million works in PQDT – 2.7 million in full text – improves access to the important content. The full spectrum of content in PQDT is also available in the ProQuest One™ Academic database.
