| contents | Classifying Australian PhD Theses: Linking Research and Library Practices Macauley, Peter Evans, Terry Pearson, Margot Foreign Countries Bibliographic Databases Doctoral Programs Theses Classification Coding This article draws on the findings from, and the methods and approach used in the provision of a database of Australian PhD thesis records for the period 1987 to 2006, coded by Research Fields, Courses and Disciplines (RFCD) fields of study. Importantly, the project was not merely the creation of yet another database but something that constitutes a valuable research resource in its own right. The database is significant as it can be used to track knowledge production in Australia over a twenty year period and contains approximately 54,000 bibliographic records. Recommendations for practice relate to university libraries, doctoral candidates, and the coded database. (Contains 3 tables.) |
