Welcome to the Research Guide for Business Ph.D. Students

The Library provides doctoral students with research assistance, data retrieval, analysis, and management, in addition to library resources and tools to help you streamline your research and teaching. The Mullins Library offers access to a vast array of library resources, including books, journals, and databases as well as the information you need to establish accounts with citation managers such as EndNote and Zotero.

Additionally, Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS), the leading internet-based data research service used by academic, government, non-profit institutions, and corporate firms, is available to you as a Walton Ph.D. student. Learn more about accessing WRDS here.
