When citing dissertations, the Publication number is usually preferred, since it is more widely recognized.

  • In ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, click the Abstract/Details page
  • Look for the Dissertation/thesis number.
  • Use Publication No. or Order No. in front of the publication/order number when citing the dissertation in APA.

Example citation:

Johnson, E. K. (2003). Word segmentation during infancy: The role of subphonemic cues to word boundaries (Order No.

3080693). Available from ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global. (288178193).

  •  Scroll down the article information page to Dissertation/thesis number and include Publication No. before the number.
