I am interested in informing the members of your mailing list about phddata. www.phddata.org is a pioneering academic trial, attempting to create a WORLDWIDE INDEX OF CURRENT DOCTORAL THESES IN PROGRESS. Such an index is a must in today’s research world, both in order to prevent duplication and for the purpose of enabling interactive communication between researchers and instructors around the world.

This site is still in its beginning stages but already includes advanced capabilities to search for theses. The site also allows users to communicate with those who have their theses registered on the site. The site is open and free of charge for all users.
