dissertations

We’re happy to present several data visualizations to give an overall sense of the OATD.org collection by county of publication, language, and field of study.
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 5,153,410 theses and dissertations.
