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
