Dissertations Resources

NLC's dissertations collection center is appointed by Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council to be the sole institution that fully collects and arranges dissertations in China. It is also the only institution that is responsible for collection of all post doctoral research papers assigned by Human Resource Bureau of the Minisrty of Human Resources and Social Security of PRC. In the past 20 years, NLC has collected 200,000 titles of doctoral dissertations.
