ProQuest Dissertations discoverable in Google Scholar
ProQuest and Google are expanding their collaboration by indexing almost half a million full text dissertations from the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database. The two organisations began partnering in 2015 with the indexing of millions of scholarly articles in Google Scholar.
Linking and access to the dissertations from Google Scholar is automatic and requires no intervention by the library. An authenticated ProQuest dissertations user searching Google Scholar will be recognized by the ProQuest platform and connect to the full text in their library’s collection. Users who are not recognised are sent to a landing page where they can purchase the dissertation or access the first 24 pages at no charge. Dissertations that have been published using the ProQuest Open Access publishing model are available to all users for free.
