University of Helsinki doctoral dissertation form

The University of Helsinki dissertation form is used to integrate the collection and storing of all information on dissertations as well as their abstracts.

The aim is a one-stop-shop for all the information required by different units at the University. The data collected with this form can then be used to produce different kinds of files for various purposes. Currently the information is used by University of Helsinki Open Repository Helda, by University communications and also University’s calendar of events. In addition, the abstracts of the dissertations in medicine are stored in Medic - the Finnish reference database of health sciences maintained by the Helsinki University Library. Further information on publishing the dissertation can be found in Instructions for students.
