As part of the Herbstakademie of the UA Ruhr Universities, an online workshop will explore options for publishing one’s dissertation—whether through a publisher, self-publishing, or electronically via open access on a document server. In addition to the pros and cons, the workshop will also cover formal criteria.

A workshop held as part of the Herbstsakademie of the UA Ruhr Universities helps doctoral students find the most appropriate way to publish their dissertation.
