    Hello, future doctoral candidate!


    Is the day of your defence approaching, and you need help publishing your dissertation? We have compiled a dedicated page of instructions for doctoral candidates, where you can conveniently find all the important advice and best tips for the publishing process. Come on in!


    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.
