Abstract
In order to determine the reach and usage of a specific set of about 65 doctoral dissertations and master’s theses that were produced at the Colorado School of Mines from 2007 to 2023, the authors used Google Scholar to determine how many times each of those dissertations and theses had been cited. They also determined what types of sources (such as journal articles, books, conference papers, technical reports, government documents, etc.) cite those publications. Donner (2021) had found that “there are few publications on citation analysis of Ph.D. theses as the cited documents, as opposed to studies of the documents cited in theses, of which there are plenty.” Thus, this short talk aims to briefly expand what is known about how researchers cite dissertations and theses.
