Regarding the Duplication Check of Research Title

[Manjunath K S]

Respected Professionals and Friends,

1. One of my friend recently enrolled for PhD and also selected few of titles for Research.

2. Now he wants to check weather on the same topics anybody has already did or doing the same.

3. He also consulted Shodhganga as well as Shodhgangothri. He did not find anything there.

4. Can you provide other sources to check duplication because many Universities are not updated Research works in Shodhganga and Shodhgangothri.

5. So please provide us other sources or sites. How we can check the ongoing research topics and other titles.

We are waiting for your valuable replies.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Dear Sri Manjunath K.S.

I have gone through your post.

Apart from the suggested references, you can also try the Association of Indian Universities (AIU -the  publisher of the weekly journal University News) publication entitled  Bibliography of Doctoral Dissertations Social Science & Humanities Sections of successive years. Besides, as I understand, they used to maintain a computerized database of Doctoral dissertations from Indian Universities since 1970.

Welcome Sri Manjunath K.S;
