Publishing a Doctoral Dissertation

The templates of the Annales series are used when the dissertation is published in the Annales Universitatis Turkuensis series. Use the templates for finalising the text of the dissertation text in the right typography and style. The templates include e.g. organisation of contents, correct typography, and marginals.

You don't have to attach original articles on the template, just submit them to your printing house as separate PDF-files. Printing house will place them to your dissertation. Word-document has to have a page before each articles which indicates the number of the article on dissertation and contains the bibliographic information of the original article. You can attach, however, if you want articles to the dissertation after the dissertation part by using e.g. pdfXchange or Adobe Acrobat Professonal software.

All printed dissertations also have a loose sheet that is placed between the cover and title page. In addition to the standard information, the loose sheet includes information of the dissertation defence.

If you wish for a more closer instructions on typography, please use the Annales Graphic Standards (see below).

The templates have been updated in March 2021, templates of the Medical Faculty, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Tecnology has bee updated on 17th June, 2024.
