How might dissertations and theses be useful for my research?
Answer
Dissertations and theses present original research that may be relevant to your topic. You may find it helpful to see how someone else has approached a topic similar to yours. Additionally, the extensive literature reviews and references in many dissertations and theses can serve as a wonderful resource for finding important and relevant research on your topic. You may also be interested in seeing how another scholar has organized either their literature review or their entire dissertation or thesis.
