The LUT Academic Library makes a publication review to the thesis you save in LUTPub. If necessary, we ask you to make modifications to your thesis and advice you how to replace your existing submission with a new pdf. Our possible contact will come to your LUT student email address.
This page contains things that we hope you check before you save your thesis to LUTPub.
NOTE! If you are not an international student, please see check list from page written in Finnish.
1. Make a submission only after you have received the permission for publication from the 1st examiner of your thesis.
2. The thesis must be fully completed in all respects before submitting it to LUTPub.
