PhD
theses on development and related topics
• Go to the
PhD theses archive
This is a new experimental section aiming to collect PhD theses
in the fields of development and related topics - like social capital,
civil society, participation, poverty, economic growth, human, social
and economic development - from every social discipline. Sociologists,
political scientists, economists, psychologists, anthropologists,
epidemiologists, statisticians, and urban planners are invited to
submit their theses for publication in this section.
Authors can chose between sharing their whole PhD thesis or just
a brief abstract. In both the cases, a web
page devoted to their work will be posted on this web
site, providing the author's contact details, an abstract of the
thesis, the Pdf file of the thesis (when it is shared) or
the instructions to request the file (when, according to the author's
will, the thesis is indexed but not public), a listing of the author's
related work.
Theses written in English are appreciated, but also theses in Arabic,
Chinese, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, as
well as in other languages are most welcome. In these cases, however,
a very brief English abstract
(few lines) should be provided.
Why sharing your thesis?
• Firstly, to
enhance the dissemination of research in social sciences, and to
foster free and extremely rapid communication across the scientific
community.
• Secondly, to
create the opportunity for authors to exchange qualified ideas on
their research work, in order to get chances to make refinements
and improvements.
• Thirdly, to
improve the authors' visibility across the scientific community.
This web site is a valuable forum promoting debate on social capital
and development topics. It registers an average of 2 thousand visitors
per day. The social capital mailing list counts thousands of subscribers
including researchers from all over the world. Periodically, theses'
inclusion in the web site will be announced through the mailing
list. Publicizing your thesis on the web may create the opportunity
to be invited to present your work at some conference,
or to send a specific article to a journal.
• Fourthly, to
contribute to the work of younger researchers by providing PhD students
with useful examples on how to structure and write a PhD thesis.
How to submit your thesis?
