ProQuest Rolls Out New Electronic Theses and Dissertations Dashboard
ProQuest introduced a new dashboard for its electronic theses and dissertations (ETD) program that is designed to “help administrators and librarians gather valuable data on their university’s research output … [by using its] visual summary of data generated from the usage and retrieval of dissertations and theses from the ProQuest platform.” It’s free to all universities that disseminate their theses and dissertations via ProQuest. They can view their ETD retrieval trends by filters such as subject, author, country, and university. According to the press release, “Retrieval and usage data is gathered from the 4 million researchers from 3,100 institutions that subscribe to the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database across more than 100 countries.”“Administrators and librarians can use this dashboard to get insights that lead to data-driven decisions about their institution’s research strengths, promotion opportunities, and performance against goals,” says April Ellsey, product manager lead at ProQuest.
