Chosen by United States Library of Congress as the official archive of American dissertations, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Database encompass more than one quarter of a billion pages, creating a unique, continually growing trove of emerging research and landmark works.
Graduate works from ProQuest will extend the breadth of the Turnitin database, which claims to be the world’s largest comparison database of scholarly content, to provide customers with a single solution for originality checking before publication. Turnitin customers can compare documents against ProQuest’s dissertations content as part of a new premium content offering called ‘Turnitin Research.’
