Information on the BDRC's Bangladesh Development Bibliography
In addition to the typical economic literature, we also include selectively publications from the fields like
agriculture, education, environment, health, science and technology. The BDRC may also provide specific
literature reviews on Bangladesh development issues upon request.

The BDRC acknowledges the very useful information obtained from many sources, of which the most
important sources for compiling and updating this bibliography are the websites and publication catalogs
of many Bangladeshi research organizations and think tanks, as well as the websites of international
organizations, publishers, and knowledge centers.

The BDRC's Bangladesh Development Bibliography provides:
  • author(s)’ / editor(s)' name(s);
  • title (and subtitle) of book, report, journal article, etc.;
  • publication details (e.g., for books: city, country and publisher);
  • the publication year is provided as every website refers to one specific year.

While possible copyright issues do not allow us to provide further details, further information can in most
cases be found by searching the exact publication title provided in this bibliography via the usual search
engines. You may also find full articles of some Bangladeshi journals at:
Bangladesh Online Research Network (BORN), an online Knowledge Center brought to you by D.Net.

The BDRC might also be able to provide further information as well as parts or the whole bibliography in
other formats via E-Mail. Please
contact us also via E-Mail if you find your publication missing from this
