You're right but contacting everyone like that is not very practical, in most cases you're nor event aware that a dissertation for the topic you're interested exists.
IDEA BOLT: What if one creates a central website that offers free storage and search capabilities and ask people to upload their dissertations and theses?
What do you think about that idea?
- RK 16y agohttp://arXiv.org http://arXiv.org
- Jun8 16y agoYep, but arXiv's content is very limited, e.g. very little EE research and economics, and nonexistent social sciences.
- RK 16y agoI don't know where to find the stats, but the number of categories has expanded greatly. I assume that trend will continue. The hard part is convincing people to upload their work. Even in physics the use of the arXiv is not uniform. In some areas, almost every published and unpublished paper is posted, while in other areas of physics hardly any papers are. For example, compare the category Quantum Physics with Space Physics.
