Dissertation-Centric Database

The Doctoral Degree and Career Dataset (DDC) is and experimental dissertation-centric database that makes two major contributions in this setting. Primarily, the DDC offers the user community an enriched "PhD1 production" dataset. It combines multiple RISIS resources around a core of dissertation metadata. The DDC recruits and integrates richer information about the dissertation (e.g., topic mapping), about the degree-granting university (e.g., geolocation), as well as basic information about the individual (e.g., gender).
