Theses

The Mid Sweden University theses are published in accordance with the Vice-Chancellor´s decision Dnr BIB 2004/12 in two series – one for Doctoral theses and one for Licentiate theses. According to the same ruling the theses should also be made available in digital form.  

Publishing of theses

Mid Sweden University theses are published both in printed and digital form. The printing is usually done by the Mid Sweden University printing service, the digital publishing is done through DiVA.

By publishing doctoral theses in DiVA the theses are made public in digital form before the defending takes place, this is called electronic "spikning" (see Vice-Chancellor´s decision No. 2008/560).

The library can also arrange a physical "spikning" ceremony, contact the library if you want to make an appointment for this.
