Theses and Dissertations are cited much like books, except for the title, which is enclosed in quotation marks. After the author and title, list the kind of paper, academic institution, and the date. These are enclosed in parentheses in a note, but not in the bibliography.
Abbreviate 'dissertation' as 'diss.'
If you found the source online, include a URL. If found in a database, you can list the database or repository instead.
