Masters theses and doctoral dissertations are major research projects undertaken at the graduate level. Such publications can be extremely useful as sources onto themselves and can be cited as any other published works. Perhaps the best use of these documents, however, lies in the bibliographies that the authors have compiled over the months and years of their research. These are goldmines of useful references that can help save time and allow you to uncover hidden sources critical to your own research. Stand on the shoulders of giants.
