TDX in 2010

There are more than 10.000 doctoral theses in the digital cooperative repository, Theses and Dissertations Online (TDX) coinciding with the 10th anniversary of its foundation, in February of 2001. The TDX has been consulted more than 3 millions times and a half times during this year, an 18% less than the previous year. May has been the month that has received more visits, a total of 378, 494. In the end of 2010 more than 1,720 doctoral theses had been introduced in the repository. Thus, the number of doctoral theses of complete text has been increased to 10,020.

Regarding the language of the 1,720 doctoral theses, 52% have been written in Spanish, 25% in Catalan, 22% in English and the rest in other languages. If we only take into account the theses of the Catalan universities, these percentages have been 45%, 30%, 24% and 1%. 
 
The number of universities which take part in this repository has decreased from 19 to 18, due to the cancellation of the Universidad de A Coruña membership. This centre has started to offer its theses from its own repository, which can be accessed from the global search of the TDX.
