The University Library provides the platform Electronic Theses of LMU Munich which LMU doctoral and postdoctoral students can use to submit their theses electronically and thus fulfil their publication requirements.
The electronic version of the university publication will be made freely available to the general public. Publication in accordance with the criteria of the “Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities” is also possible by selecting a suitable license.
First, please upload your thesis and only print it out after you have received an email from us that says it is OK to print. This will prevent you from printing any formal mistakes. You will usually receive this e-mail on the day of the upload, but no later than noon the following working day.
The FAQs will help you upload your thesis and they also provide information about submission via a publisher. If you have any specific questions, please contact “Publication Services Theses”.
We will always inform you by e-mail if there are any changes to the submission status of your thesis.
