EBSCO Open Dissertations
EBSCO Open Dissertations makes electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) more accessible to researchers worldwide. The free portal is designed to benefit universities and their students and make ETDs more discoverable.
Increasing Discovery & Usage of ETD Research
With EBSCO Open Dissertations, institutions are offered an innovative approach to driving additional traffic to ETDs in institutional repositories. Our goal is to help make their students’ theses and dissertations as widely visible and cited as possible.
EBSCO Open Dissertations extends the work started in 2014, when EBSCO and the H.W. Wilson Foundation created American Doctoral Dissertations which contained indexing from the H.W. Wilson print publication, Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities, 1933-1955. In 2015, the H.W. Wilson Foundation agreed to support the expansion of the scope of the American Doctoral Dissertations database to include records for dissertations and theses from 1955 to the present.
How Does EBSCO Open Dissertations Work?
Libraries can add theses and dissertations to the database, making them freely available to researchers everywhere while increasing traffic to their institutional repository. ETD metadata is harvested via OAI and integrated into EBSCO’s platform, where pointers send traffic to the institution's IR.
EBSCO integrates this data into their current subscriber environments and makes the data available on the open web via opendissertations.org .

This is an index of over 3.5 million electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). To the extent possible, the index is limited to records of graduate-level theses that are freely available online.
What can I do with the ETDs I find on this site?
Most documents made available for open access allow you to download and read them for personal use. Without specific permission from the copyright owner, do not assume further permissions, such as redistributing ETDs from another web site or using them for commercial purposes.
With few exceptions, the documents indexed on OATD are the property of their authors and are legally protected by copyright. Individual ETDs and host repositories may have specific statements of the author’s rights and your permissions to use the document. In the event that the local repository or the ETD itself states different permissions than the record indexed by OATD, the local statement takes priority.
Where do the records come from?
See this list of sites that contribute records to this index .
Many of these schools’ records come from their own repositories. Others come from regional or national ETD consortia. With few exceptions, records are harvested from these sites using a standard called the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
What definition of "Open Access" do you use?
We define open access broadly to cover ETDs that are free to access and read online. We encourage authors to consider formally specifying use permissions, for example by publishing their theses with a Creative Commons license.
Where does the full text live?
The full text of all papers lives on the original hosting site, usually the repository of the university that granted the degree. OATD indexes about the first 30 pages of some theses in order to show search hits, but in no case does OATD index or store the full text of the paper.
Our school’s ETDs are not in the index. How can we include them?
If your school has a repository of open-access ETDs, check with your repository manager to confirm that it has OAI-PMH harvesting enabled. This is an available option on most ETD or repository platforms, including DSpace, Digital Commons, eprints, ETD-db, and ContentDM. Once you have confirmed that, simply send us the OAI server’s base URL . We recommend that you also register the base URL with opendoar.org and openarchives.org .
If you manage a collection of open access ETDs, but cannot run an OAI-PMH server, please contact us to discuss alternate arrangements. If you have good metadata, we want to include your records.
Our school’s ETDs are in the index, but they don’t show a lot of information. How can we improve them?
There are two causes for this problem. The first is that your repository’s OAI-PMH server doesn’t provide very rich metadata (which may indicate a configuration problem with your repository software). If so, you should work with your repository manager. The second reason is that good metadata is being put into fields we didn’t expect (for example, if publication dates are in note fields, we may not display them correctly). In that case, drop us a line to let us know what we’re missing.
I just found my thesis or dissertation on this site, and I’d rather it wasn’t available on the Internet. Can you remove it from your index?
My thesis is available online, but I can’t find it in your index. Can you add it?
I just found a record with a problem in it. Can you fix it?
The answer to all these questions is the same: talk with the school that provides the record. They may have policies about restricting access to the full text of a thesis, and they control the quality and availability of the record’s data.
Record changes at the originating site will not be reflected in OATD immediately. Records that are deleted or marked as unavailable will remain in OATD until we completely reindex the originating site’s records.
If I have questions about OATD itself, whom should I contact?
Please send any questions or comments to Thomas Dowling, dowlintp@wfu.edu .
Who runs OATD?

Zoe Stewart-Marshall President (2012-2013), Library and Information Technology Association
And our thanks for the kind support from the Z. Smith Reynolds Library, Wake Forest University, and for the efforts of the many people who make their ETD content available to the world.
Are there other thesis and dissertation search services? How does OATD compare?
The best known commercial service for searching dissertations is Proquest Dissertations and Theses (PQDT). PQDT includes many, but not all, U.S. dissertations, and a smaller percentage of U.S. masters theses. Access to PQDT is restricted to subscribing institutions: ask your library if you have access. PQDT records are primarily not open access, and Proquest charges for full text access to most theses and dissertations that they index.
The Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) maintains a union catalog of ETDs. The NDLTD search services do not always differentiate between ETDs that are open access and those which are restricted.
OATD works hard to index only graduate-level theses and dissertations that are freely available to download and read right now. To the extent possible, we leave out closed-access and embargoed ETDs.

UC Policy on Open Access for Theses and Dissertations
On March 25, 2020, the University of California issued a Policy on Open Access for Theses and Dissertations. The systemwide policy, which aligns with those already in place at individual UC campuses, “requires theses or dissertations prepared at the University to be (1) deposited into an open access repository, and (2) freely and openly available to the public, subject to a requested delay of access (“embargo”) obtained by the student.” Theses and dissertations already made open access can be read in eScholarship, UC’s open access repository and scholarly publishing platform.
Alexandria Digital Research Library (ADRL)
Some UCSB open access theses and disserations are in ADRL. Due to copyright restrictions and a need to obtain permission from the authors, not all years are available.
eScholarship
UC's institutional repository and journal publishing platform. Not all campuses have electronic theses and disseartations in eScholarship. Due to copyright restrictions and the need to obtain permissions from authors, not all years are available online. UC campuses began accepting electronic theses and disserations (ETDs) submissions different years. For details see ETD Preservation and Access Sevice: California Digital Library . UCSB's open access ETDS are in ADRL .
Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations
An international organization dedicated to promoting the adoption, creation, use, dissemination, and preservation of electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). The website includes resources on how to find, create, and preserve ETDs; how to set up an ETD program; legal and technical questions; and the latest news and research in the ETD community.
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
OATD.org aims to be the best possible resource for finding open access graduate theses and dissertations published around the world. Metadata (information about the theses) comes from over 1100 colleges, universities, and research institutions. OATD currently indexes 5,031,307 theses and dissertations.

Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Theses and dissertations produced by students as part of the completion of their degree requirements often represent unique and interesting scholarship. Universities are increasingly making this work available online, and UC is no exception. Find information related to open access theses and dissertations below.
UC has an open access policy for theses and dissertations, but procedures and specifics vary by campus
Several UC campuses have established policies requiring open access to the electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) written by their graduate students. As of March 25, 2020, there is now a systemwide Policy on Open Access for Theses and Dissertations , indicating that UC “requires theses or dissertations prepared at the University to be (1) deposited into an open access repository, and (2) freely and openly available to the public, subject to a requested delay of access (’embargo’) obtained by the student.”
In accordance with these policies, campuses must ensure that student ETDs are available open access via eScholarship (UC’s open access repository and publishing platform), at no cost to students. By contrast, ProQuest, the world’s largest commercial publisher of ETDs, charges a $95 fee to make an ETD open access. Institutions worldwide have moved toward open access ETD publication because it dramatically increases the visibility and reach of their graduate research.
Policies and procedures for ETD filing, including how to delay public release of an ETD and how long such a delay can last, vary by campus. Learn more about the requirements and procedures for ETDs at each UC campus:
UC Santa Barbara: Filing Your Thesis, Dissertation, or DMA Supporting Document
UC Santa Cruz: Dissertation and Thesis Guidelines (PDF) from the Graduate Division’s Accessing Forms Online page
Open access can be delayed in certain circumstances
Some campuses allow students to elect an embargo period before the public release of their thesis/dissertation; others require approval from graduate advisors or administrators. Visit your local graduate division’s website (linked above) for more information.
Common copyright concerns of students writing theses and dissertations
Students writing theses/dissertations most commonly have questions about their own copyright ownership or the use of other people’s copyrighted materials in their own work.
You automatically own the copyright in your thesis/dissertation as soon as you create it, regardless of whether you register it or include a copyright page or copyright notice (see this FAQ from the U.S. Copyright Office for more information). Most students choose not to register their copyrights, though some choose to do so because they value having their copyright ownership officially and publicly recorded. Getting a copyright registered is required before you can sue someone for infringement.
If you decide to register your copyright, you can do so
directly, through the Copyright Office website , for $35
by having ProQuest/UMI contact the Copyright Office on your behalf, for $65.
It is common to incorporate 1) writing you have done for journal articles as part of your dissertation, and 2) parts of your dissertation into articles or books . See, for example, these articles from Wiley and Taylor & Francis giving authors tips on how to successfully turn dissertations into articles, or these pages at Sage , Springer , and Elsevier listing reuse in a thesis or dissertation as a common right of authors. Because this is a well-known practice, and often explicitly allowed in publishers’ contracts with authors, it rarely raises copyright concerns. eScholarship , which hosts over 55,000 UC ETDs, has never received a takedown notice from a publisher based on a complaint that the author’s ETD was too similar to the author’s published work.
Incorporating the works of others in your thesis/dissertation – such as quotations or illustrative images – is often allowed by copyright law. This is the case when the original work isn’t protected by copyright, or if the way you’re using the work would be considered fair use. In some circumstances, however, you will need permission from the copyright holder. For more information, please consult the Berkeley Library’s guide to Copyright and Publishing Your Dissertation .
How to find UC Dissertations and Theses online
All ten UC campuses make their electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) openly accessible to readers around the world. You can view over 55,000 UC ETDs in eScholarship , UC’s open access repository. View ETDs from each campus:

Open Access (Free) Database
Of particular use to alumni and the general public: The following three open access dissertation and theses databases are available. Some titles in these databases are citation only, while others provide free access with links to the full text of the dissertation or thesis cited.
EBSCO's Open Dissertations Database Coverage varies by the source database. Provides open access to over 800,000 dissertations from 26 U.S. universities plus the UK. Created from a collaboration between EBSCO and BiblioLabs, it uses the standard EBSCO search interface. Consists primarily of three resources--mostly full text titles from OhioLink's open ETD database (mainly 1999 to date); EThOS: e-theses online service of UK dissertations from the British Library (1800 to date); and citations digitized from UMI's Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities, 1933-1955. (EBSCO is working on extending this coverage from 1955 to date.)
PQDT Open A subset of ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global. Coverage: mainly 2006 to date. Some earlier titles back to 1990. PQDT Open provides the full text of open access dissertations and theses free of charge. The text, if available, is in PDF format.
EThOS: E-Theses Online Service (British Library) Coverage: 1800 to date. Also searchable as part of EBSCO's Open Dissertations database . More than 480,000 titles included with links to the full text for over 100,000 dissertations. About EThOS .
Summon and Discipline-Specific Databases Covering Dissertations
Many periodical databases in academic disciplines index dissertations in addition to articles and books: MLA Bibliography , PsycINFO , and EconLit are three well-known examples. In general, one would not expect to find dissertations not already cited in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global in these databases. However, it can be a way to locate dissertations written in a particular discipline rather than searching using specific subject terms in PQD&TG.
Free-to-read online theses and dissertations from colleges and universities around the world.
