DOCTORAL STUDIES

• During the upload process, you will be asked to provide the metadata for your thesis (to be provided to national and international libraries.) It is a good idea to make sure that you have prepared the following in advance:

– Abstract in the language your thesis is written in (500–5000 characters)

– Abstract in English (if not already submitted as part of the previous point)

– Title of your thesis in the language it is written in and in English

– Subtitle of your thesis in the language it is written in and in English

– Keywords on the topic of your thesis in the language it is written in and in English

• Upload your thesis in the Student Portal under the link “Wissenschaftliche Arbeiten / Academic Theses”:
  Create a PDF version of the thesis (max. file size: 70 MB) and upload along with all facts and information. Check your information. If you select ‘Submit work’, you give your consent for the submission of your work, for it to be checked using DocoL©c internet plagiarism software, and confirm the upload. If you abort the submission process, your thesis will not be submitted and you can repeat the process again with a new or amended document. If you complete the submission, you cannot revoke it or amend the document.
• The compulsory submission of your thesis to the Austrian National Library (ANL) is completed in electronic format only (cf. Statute, Part B, § 19 (10)). You can give the ANL permission to publish your thesis (1) on the Internet, (2) throughout the entire ANL network (multiple access) or (3) on a single ANL workstation (individual access) to an unspecified group of people.
  If you intend to publish a thesis as a book, please contact the publisher promptly so that you can choose your preferred form of electronic publication. If even the third option is problematic for the publisher, you are entitled to make an application to restrict access to your thesis (put in place a bar) under ‘My applications’ / ‘Make a new application’ in your university account.
• If you have difficulties with the upload, please contact the Central Computing Services Helpdesk (CCS) (tel. +43 463 2700 9666) for advice.
• After uploading, you have initiated the next step, i.e. your electronic thesis is archived and the plagiarism check takes place automatically. In the Student Portal, the status of your thesis will now be set to “uploaded”.
