„The relatively high number of doctoral dissertations accepted every year in Spanish Universities and, with regard to scientific and cultural progress of the country, the undoubted value of any activity that may contribute towards sending out information on doctoral dissertations”, were the reasons which lead the Ministry of Education and Science to create, in 1975, a mechanised datafile of Spanish doctoral dissertations; the State Board of Universities, through the State Subcommittee of Research Promotion, were in charge of the permanent collection and transmission of data, and the General Technical Office, through the Data Processing Centre, was entrusted with setting up, maintaining and running the datafile.
