State and Problems of Perfecting of Digitized Array of Domestic Dissertation Research in the Specialty 14.03.10 «Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics»
Generalized analysis of 427 Russian dissertation researches in the specialty 14.03.10 (14.00.46) «Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics» over the period of 2000-2013 is presented. Currently complete author’s abstracts can be remotely accessed at official sites of institutions with Thesis Boards (since 2007) and at the site of State Commission for Academic Degrees and Titles, Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (for Doctoral theses – since 2007, for Candidate’s theses – since April 2012). Thesis materials for the year 2013 don’t full in libraries, so the collection of 407 theses for the period of 2000–2012 was used for comparison. In thesis e-library of the Russian State Library 238 theses are digitized, or 55.2% of works total collection in the field of clinical laboratory diagnostics, in e-library of the Russian National Library – 331 author’s abstracts or 81.5 %. The digitized theses materials can be accessed free of charge in libraries reading halls, remote access can be provided for a fee. To optimize information support to scientific research there is a necessity to create in Russia a common theses database at Research Electronic Library, to organize a national subscription to digitized theses materials, and to coordinate the fields of documents scanning. Digitized theses database allows remote access, as well for foreign users. For integration into the world research community one should provide English abstract of the thesis (max. 250–300 characters) on the last page of the author’s abstract.
