Delivery of duty copies according to the Act (1993: 1392) on duty copies of documents is handled by the printing company. The university library does not belong to the compulsory copy libraries.
Electronic version
The electronic version of the thesis must be published in the University's publication database DiVA (Digitala Vetenskapliga Arkivet) no later than three semester weeks before the public defence or licentiate seminar.
