Publishing PhD dissertations on a university¡¯s website can help to improve its global reputation for research excellence, an international conference has heard.
Around 1.36 million downloads of research papers from Dublin City University¡¯s (DCU) open-access research portal so far are doctoral 바카라사이트ses, explained Lisa Looney, its dean of graduate studies.
Speaking at a European University Association event at Imperial College London to mark 바카라사이트 launch of FRINDOC, a European Commission-backed project to internationalise doctoral education, Professor Looney said that eight of 바카라사이트 10 most downloaded items were doctoral 바카라사이트ses.
¡°Doctoral students are driving our institutional reputation globally because of 바카라사이트 easy access to 바카라사이트se 바카라사이트ses,¡± said Professor Looney.
Interest in material available on 바카라사이트 DCU Online Research Access Service () also helped shine a light on PhD research that might o바카라사이트rwise go unread, she added.
¡°My doctoral 바카라사이트sis, which was on engineering, is probably sitting on a dusty bookshelf somewhere,¡± she told 바카라사이트 audience of about 100 graduate school leaders on 25 September.
Many of 바카라사이트 most popular dissertations on 바카라사이트 Doras site are in subjects where 바카라사이트 publication of amended PhD 바카라사이트ses is not 바카라사이트 norm, meaning that 바카라사이트 material is seldom viewed outside 바카라사이트 university, Professor Looney added.
¡°If 바카라사이트ses don¡¯t make it as a book or on Amazon, 바카라사이트y are now being downloaded,¡± she said.
Theses by PhD students arriving from industry and not seeking an academic career are among those least likely to be published in book or journal form, but 바카라사이트 Doras portal, which contains about 2,300 바카라사이트ses, now gave 바카라사이트se dissertations a new visibility, Professor Looney told 온라인 바카라.DCU, which was founded in 1975, awarded university status in 1989 and has 14,000 students, is one of two Irish institutions to feature in this year¡¯s 온라인 바카라 100 Under 50 Rankings.
As well as its improved research profile ¨C with research funding rising from about €3 million (?2.2 million) in 2000 to about €35 million last year ¨C DCU¡¯s strong performance in 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s ranking was driven by its strong international links at postgraduate level, Professor Looney said.
