PhDs.io

What is it?

PhDs.io is a powerful literature search engine designed for researchers in finance, accounting, and economics.1

Why Use phds.io?

  • Traditional search engines can be:
    • Slow, irrelevant
    • Overloaded with results
  • We often narrowly focus on our own discipline…
  • PhDs.io solves these problems via:
    • Targeted indexing: ABDC-A*, FT50, UTD24
    • Facet search: grouping by FoR, journal, year-month, issue
    • Complex logic: term, logical and/or/not, diacritic-awareness
    • Quality of life: highlights, sorting, BibTeX, (OA article temporarily unavailable)
    • Speed - written in Rust

Adoption and Impact

  • PhDs.io is already used worldwide
  • Great opportunity to promote MQBS and our Department
