PUB Theses is a platform for publishing examination papers of Bielefeld University on the internet. These are:
In order to keep up a certain level of quality, we only accept bachelor and master theses which have been recommended for electronic publishing by the respective faculty. This recommendation must be submitted in writing and is part of the Statement on the Granting of Exploitation Rights.
The author uploads her or his paper in PUB Theses and enters the necessary bibliographic data into the provided form at the same time. Publishing papers in PUB Theses is free of charge.
The release of the paper on the internet will follow immediately after the university library (contact: Bettina Weingarten, university main building, room A1-136) has received the duly completed and signed statement. In order to be eligible for the publishing of the paper on the internet, the library needs only the non-exclusive exploitation right for internet dissemination. This means that the author may publish his or her work wherever wanted independantly on the internet or have it re-published as an e-book version by a commercial publisher. Even a printed edition is possible if the publisher does not contradict the deposit of the work in PUB Theses. Most publishers do consent though.
All papers which have been submitted to and accepted for the provision in PUB Theses have to be registered by law at the German National Library. The national library provides long-term archiving as well.
