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 .

Open Access Theses and Dissertations (OATD)

Oxford theses
The Bodleian Libraries’ thesis collection holds every DPhil thesis deposited at the University of Oxford since the degree began in its present form in 1917. Our oldest theses date from the early 1920s. We also have substantial holdings of MLitt theses, for which deposit became compulsory in 1953, and MPhil theses.
Since 2007 it has been a mandatory requirement for students to deposit an electronic copy of their DPhil thesis in the Oxford University Research Archive (ORA) , in addition to the deposit of a paper copy – the copy of record. Since the COVID pandemic, the requirement of a paper copy has been removed and the ORA copy has become the copy of record. Hardcopy theses are now only deposited under exceptional circumstances.
ORA provides full-text PDF copies of most recent DPhil theses, and some earlier BLitt/MLitt theses. Find out more about Oxford Digital Theses, and depositing with ORA .
Finding Oxford theses
The following theses are catalogued on SOLO (the University libraries’ resource discovery tool) :
- DPhil and BLitt and MLitt theses
- BPhil and MPhil theses
- Science theses
SOLO collates search results from several sources.
How to search for Oxford theses on SOLO
To search for theses in the Oxford collections on SOLO :
- navigate to the SOLO homepage
- click on the 'Advanced Search' button
- click the 'Material Type' menu and choose the 'Dissertations' option
- type in the title or author of the thesis you are looking for and click the 'Search' button.
Also try an “Any field” search for “Thesis Oxford” along with the author’s name under “creator” and any further “Any field” keywords such as department or subject.
Searching by shelfmarks
If you are searching using the shelfmark, please make sure you include the dots in your search (e.g. D.Phil.). Records will not be returned if they are left out.
Oxford University Research Archive (ORA)
ORA was established in 2007 as a permanent and secure online archive of research produced by members of the University of Oxford. It is now mandatory for students completing a research degree at the University to deposit an electronic copy of their thesis in this archive.
Authors can select immediate release on ORA, or apply a 1-year or 3-year embargo period. The embargo period would enable them to publish all or part of their research elsewhere if they wish.
Theses held in ORA are searchable via SOLO , as well as external services such as EThOS and Google Scholar. For more information, visit the Oxford digital theses guide , and see below for guidance on searching in ORA.
Search for Oxford theses on ORA
Type your keywords (title, name) into the main search box, and use quotes (“) to search for an exact phrase.
Refine your search results using the drop-downs on the left-hand side. These include:
- item type (thesis, journal article, book section, etc.)
- thesis type (DPhil, MSc, MLitt, etc.)
- subject area (History, Economics, Biochemistry, etc.)
- item date (as a range)
- file availability (whether a full text is available to download or not)
You can also increase the number of search results shown per page, and sort by relevance, date and file availability. You can select and export records to csv or email.
