After the oral defence, the dissertation must be published. The number of publications to be submitted to the exchange office of the University and City Library has been reduced:
26 copies for self-published works or
5 copies in the case of publication by a publisher
(and 1 copy each to the members of the examination committee, or enquiry with the supervisor required, as the supervisor is entitled to 4 copies) or
2 copies for publication via KUPS
For cumulative dissertations it was determined that papers published or accepted for publication (in journals with an ISSN) may be replaced by a bibliographical reference.
IMPORTANT:
For a short period in the third quarter 2023, time-critical publication processes will not be able to be processed by the Univversity and City Library of Cologne on time.
