Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥

After receiving permission from the faculty for a public defense, the doctoral candidate must ensure that the publication process of the dissertation manuscript is initiated. This means that the manuscript must be submitted to the editorial team no later than one month before the defense date. If there is a delay in obtaining the faculty's permission for the defense beyond this schedule, please contact the editorial team at dissertations-osc@jyu.fi as early as possible.

Before submitting the material to the editorial team, it must also receive publication approval from the scientific editor.

The dissertation must be made openly accessible in the JYX publication archive of the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ at least 5 days prior to the defense.

Before the publication process begins, the dissertation must receive publication approval from the scientific editor specific to the faculty and discipline. The doctoral candidate submits their manuscript for review by the scientific editor. The scientific editor reports their review and informs their publication approval to the editorial team by using the form below. After this, the doctoral candidate sends the dissertation materials to the editorial office.

• The doctoral candidate completes the contact information form and the online publication permission for the dissertation (see the previous section, Forms).
• See the section on Finalizing the Manuscript and Submitting the Material: At least one month before the defense date, the doctoral candidate submits the final, proofread dissertation material, reviewed by the scientific editor, to the editorial team at dissertations-osc@jyu.fi.
• During particularly busy periods, dissertations are processed in order of the defense date.
• Articles included in the dissertation, as well as unpublished manuscripts, should be submitted as separate attachments (pdf, docx).

• The doctoral candidate must carefully review the dissertation proof and correct any errors before the dissertation is published.
• If the dissertation is already available online and printed but the defense has not yet occurred, any detected technical errors (e.g., typos) can be addressed with an errata list.
• After the defense, no corrections can be made to the printed or online version of the dissertation.
• For the defense, the doctoral candidate will receive three printed spiral-bound A4 copies free of charge.
• If desired, the doctoral candidate can have B5 printed copies of the dissertation made at their own expense.
• Self-financed copies are not part of the JYU Dissertations series, but the editorial office assists with the printing process at no charge.
• The cost of the printed dissertation is determined by the total number of pages and the number of pages printed in color, if any. The self-financed print edition by the doctoral candidate always includes the legally required deposit copies, the number of which varies from 2 to 6 copies depending on the print run size.
• Any extensive supplementary materials included in the dissertation can be omitted from the printed publication, if necessary, and published as part of the online version of the dissertation.
