Stanford Thesis Ngrams
How often a word appears in the titles of Stanford’s theses and dissertations, every five years since 1910. Compare up to four, separated by commas; end a word with * to match any ending.
Thesis titles containing each word, per 1,000 titles
Loading the titles…
Titles per 1,000 that contain the word, out of every Stanford thesis that period (about 62,000 in all, from SearchWorks). A word also counts its plural, so network finds networks; neur* finds any word starting neur; a phrase matches as typed. Only titles are searched, not abstracts. Early periods hold few theses, so a single title moves their line a lot: the tooltip gives the count. Hover or tap a period to read the titles.
