Western Sydney University (WSU) has joined the ProQuest® dissertations and theses publishing program. The university will contribute its graduate students' dissertations and theses to ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global® (PQDT), a global source of emerging research from the world's greatest universities. WSU research output and its researchers will be visible to hundreds of thousands of PQDT users and be broadly discoverable via citations in numerous major subject indexes.
PQDT is widely used in Australia and New Zealand universities, helping researchers expand their knowledge and improve their research. Now, these local researchers as well as others at more than 3,000 universities around the world will have access to the thousands of dissertations and theses produced at Western Sydney University.
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 work from these institutions. Their extensive bibliographies are often relied upon to surface sources that might otherwise be missed. PQDT’s fast and seamless discovery of more than 4.5 million works - 2.1 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.
