ProQuest has announced that two Nigerian higher-education institutions – University of Abuja and the Center for Bioethics and Research (CBR) – will include their graduate research in ProQuest Dissertations & Theses GlobalTM, the largest curated database of theses and dissertations in the world.
Dissertations and theses from University of Abuja and CBR are now accessible by ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global users globally and will be broadly discoverable via citations in major subject indexes and Google Scholar, giving authors greater visibility and recognition for their research output. More than 4 million researchers at 3,100 universities will have access to content authored by graduates of these leading Nigerian institutions.
University of Abuja and CBR join other longstanding Nigerian contributors to the database, including Kwara State University, whose works were some of the most accessed content on ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global earlier this year. Primary citations will appear in Google Scholar and other major subject indexes, and the contributing schools can also track, monitor and see trends in usage with ProQuest‘s new, free-to-use ETD Dashboard tool.
The fast and seamless discovery of more than 5 million works in ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global – 2.7 million in full text – improves access to this important content. Cross-searching with other scholarly material on the ProQuest platform simplifies research workflows even further, saving time for users and broadening the scope of their searches. The full spectrum of content in ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global is also available in the ProQuest One™ Academic database.
