Abstract
Poor visibility and closed accessibility of printed copies of Theses available in the Libraries
were the major issues among the research community in India before the year 2009. Electronic
Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) which is the digitised version of traditional print theses and
dissertations, have emerged as an important means of sharing, transferring and collaborating
the research and publication output of any Institution. ETDs, not only, support the documents
submission and archiving, but also, play an important role in collaboration and
Interoperability among the Institutions in terms of research output i.e. PhD Theses. The
objective of this study is to explore the growth and usage analytics of Shodhganga. The
present study explored various methods to analyse the data from Shodhganga in terms of
Theses submissions, usage pattern, accessibility, growth and usability, metadata formats and
standards, workflow management, metadata creation, data validation, text mining, Citations
export tool and a file format, etc.
