Graduate research from Lancaster University, named International University of the Year for 2020 by The Times, will now be included in the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global® (PQDT) database – the largest curated database of dissertations and theses in the world.
Lancaster University has been consistently ranked among the UK’s top institutions – and with a campus in Ghana, a joint institute in China with Beijing Jiaotong University, and a new campus planned in Germany, Lancaster is truly a global research institution. The PQDT database now includes the full text of Lancaster University graduate students’ research theses.
Dissertations and theses often provide the most up-to-date, comprehensive and sometimes unique research on specific subjects. Now, more than four million researchers at 3,100 universities participating in PQDT around the world will have access to theses and dissertations authored by Lancaster graduates. Primary citations will appear in Google Scholar and other major subject indexes, and Lancaster can also track, monitor and see trends in usage with the new ETD Dashboard.
Originally created in 1939 in microfilm format, PQDT has grown to include more than 5.1 million works – 2.7 million in full text. The full spectrum of content in PQDT is also available in ProQuest One Academic.
