Printed version

Graphic profile

Theses from KTH should have a uniform cover and a uniform graphic profile.

ISBN/ISSN

An ISBN number should be specified in the printed version of the thesis. ISBN is a unique identifier for monographs published for general distribution, ISSN is a unique identifier for periodical publications. Please contact your department to get the ISSN for the Trita-series in question, and the PI-department for ISBN.

TRITA

KTH publishes a series of publications called TRITA. TRITA stands for Transactions of the Royal Institute of Technology, with the addition of the letter A. This is followed by an abbreviation consisting of three capital letters (emanating from the department publishing the work) and a serial number, for example TRITA-AVI Report 1996:4.

Submitting your thesis to the library

Doctoral theses

Three copies of the thesis (four if you wish to have it on display by the reception) should be delivered to the KTH library no later than three weeks prior to the disputation, either to the library reception (Osquars backe 31) or by internal mail to the library. This is the responsibility of each doctoral candidate (the library does not receive copies from the printer). Please print the file with the agreement and enclose a signed copy.

Licentiate theses

Follow the instructions under Doctoral theses, but leave only one copy (two if it is part of a TRITA-series) to the library.

Electronic version

The thesis should be made public in the KTH publication database DiVA, preferably three weeks before the dissertation.
