Smoother publishing

The publishing process includes many important stages, regardless of the format, and time is often limited. We provide expert assistance with both content formatting and the delivery of final materials.

A clear agreement

Aalto University and the University of Helsinki have entered into an agreement with us to provide support services for doctoral candidates.

The agreement with Aalto University expands the service to include all publication and printing projects. We also manage printing arrangements for publications that were not designed or finalized by us. Contact our customer service for more information!

Printing is done at our contracted printing house, where production is tailored to meet the needs of our clients. As an owner-client, you will benefit from pre-negotiated pricing for printing.

Ystävällinen jarauhoittava asiakapalvelu auttoi yli kaaoksen. Kiitos!
Hei kiitos todella paljon! Siis mulla oikeasti kostui silmät liikutuksesta ja helpotuksesta, kun näin tän taittoasussaan 😄
Kiitos, väitöskirjat ovat saapuneet kotiosoitteeseen jo viime viikolla. Lämmin kiitos väitöstyöni taitto- ja painatusprosessista! Kaikki sujui hienosti ja nopeamminkin kuin ajattelin/oli suunniteltu. Erityiskiitos taittajalle mutkattomasta yhteistyöstä!
Väitösprosessi on ollut monimutkainen ja kivulias muutoin, mutta Unigrafian suoritus kaiken häslingin keskellä on ollut täysi napakymppi ja valonpilkahdus “painajaisen” keskellä! 🙂
Kovaa työtä kuten aina. Kiitos!
Nopea palvelu ja reagointi kommentteihin. Kommentit huomioitiin ja työtä muokattiin toiveiden mukaan.
Olin hyvin tyytyväinen tuotteeseen ja palveluun, en jäänyt kaipaamaan odotusten ylittymistä koska ne olivat muilta saatujen kokemusten perusteella korkeat jo alun alkaen.
Asiakaspalvelu oli poikkeuksellisen erinomaista ja ystävällistä. Vastaukset kriittisiin ongelmiin tuli kuin apteekin hyllyltä, ja sain niiden ohelle hyödyllisiä lisätietoja. Kaiken lisäksi puheluiden jälkeen jäi hyvä mieli. Ongelmia (Unigrafiasta riippumattomia) tosiaan riitti ja soittelin teille peräti 6 tai 7 kertaa, joten asiakaspalvelua tuli koeteltua. Suurkiitokset 5/5 tähden palvelusta!
Sain aina nopeasti apua asiakaspalvelusta. Myös väitöskirjan viime hetken korjaukset toteutettiin nopeasti.
Toiminta oli asiantuntevaa, erinomaisen joustavaa ja nopeaa.
You are the right printing company for dissertations. I already recommended your service to my friend and he changed his printing company to Unigrafia just recently 🙂 Keep up the great work.
Joustavaa, nopeaa, ystävällistä kiireestä huolimatta
Kiitos teille kaikille mahdottoman ystävällisestä, rauhoittavasta ja nopeasta palvelusta tilanteessa, jossa olin hermoromahduksen partaalla.

Guidelines for dissertation publishers

How do I know if I need assistance with my layout?

Layout refers to the arrangement of text and elements such as graphics and images on the pages of a thesis in a visually clear and readable format. The result of the layout process is a print-ready PDF file.

You will not need our layout services if you are handling the layout yourself. In that case, you should provide us with your manuscript and any articles as ready PDF files that include all the fonts used in the text. Instructions for creating the file can be found here.

If you are unsure whether you need our layout services, you can send us your text file for evaluation via email at asiakaspalvelu@unigrafia.fi.

Yes, I want a graphic designer to help with my dissertation layout!

If you want to make life easier for yourself and have a professional graphic designer handle your layout, please send us a request for a quote.

Please note that the request for a quote should be sent to us at least 6 weeks, and preferably 2 months before your planned defence date so that we can schedule the work in the graphic designer's calendar.
