Dissertations and Theses
The SUB Göttingen supports graduates of the University of Göttingen in fulfilling their publication obligations by offering advice and providing the eDiss repository.
eDiss Repository
Graduates of the University of Göttingen can publish theses such as their dissertation digitally on the eDiss repository of the SUB Göttingen and thus fulfill their publication obligation. This also applies to cumulative dissertations. Please observe the publication regulations of your valid doctoral degree regulations and, in case of doubt, consult your examination office or the doctoral committee.
Your publication in the eDiss repository will automatically receive a persistent identifier, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI), and an Open Access compliant license, unless you choose otherwise. If required, we can advise you on license issues and good scientific practice. We can provide you with detailed help on this FAQ site .
Would you like to publish a qualification thesis (Bachelor's, Master's or state examination thesis) for which there is no obligation to publish? Then please contact the eDiss team by email first: ediss@sub.uni-goettingen.de. An informal written recommendation from your supervisor is required.
Habilitation theses can be published on the eDiss repository without a recommendation. However, please contact the eDiss team.
Submission of Printed Copies
The two printed copies can be submitted by post (please use the address of the submission point in the Central Library). You can also submit your documents directly to the Central Library at the reception desk in the entrance area or place them in the letterbox at the staff entrance to the Central Library (at the back of the building).
The current opening hours can be found on the pages of the eDiss repository.

Cumulative Dissertation
Doctoral students at many faculties can choose whether they want to write their dissertation as a monograph or as a cumulative dissertation. In a cumulative dissertation, articles that have been published in specialist journals are combined into a single dissertation. Particular attention must be paid to questions regarding the subsequent use of the individual articles.
If you have any questions regarding the reuse of your articles, please contact publizieren@uni-goettingen.de.
