Submit dissertation

Please make sure that your document meets our requirements and is prepared according to our instructions.

Please log in to hohPublica either with your Hohenheim user account or with your external account.

You submit your document independently via the input mask on hohPublica. After registering on hohPublica, you will be able to access your area (“My area”) using the navigation bar. A bar will appear at the top of your screen, into which you can drag and drop your file directly. You will be asked which collection you would like to add your document to. Please search for your institute here and select it. You will then be redirected to the input mask.

Alternatively, click on the plus symbol to the right of the file field to start the input. You can also upload your file within the input mask.

Before you upload your file, we would like to draw your attention to the “Identifer” section: Since the publication of your dissertation is a first publication on hohPublica, the system generates a new Digital Object Identifier for it. This identifier in the form of a URL (Internet address) uniquely references your publication. The DOI is displayed in the “Identifier” section. You can copy this identifier in URL form and insert it as a citation note in your work, e.g. on the back of the title page. This allows readers who reuse your work to cite your work using this link.

After you have considered the option of adding the DOI to your work, you can upload your document (if you have not already done so in “My Area” and started with the input mask). Either drag your file with the mouse into the upload field at the top of the input mask or click on “Browse” to search for the file to be uploaded in your file directory.

You can see an overview of your uploaded files in the “Upload files” section directly below the upload area.

In the “Formal description” section, enter some descriptive data about your publication:

1. Title of the work (input mask field name “Title”): incl. subtitle. If there is a subtitle, please enter it in the same field, separated from the title by “ : ‘ (example: Title : Subtitle). If there is a translation of the title in German or English that is also used in the work, you can additionally enter it in the field ’Other title forms”.
2. Name of author (input mask field designation “Authors”): Please enter the name in the form of last name, first name.
3. Year of completion of dissertation = publication date (input mask, field name “Date of issue”): Please enter the year as it appears on the title page of your work. Although the input mask generally allows you to enter a complete date including month and day, entering the year is sufficient here.
4. Language in which the work was written (input mask, field name (“Language”).

You can skip the “Identifiers” field in this section when submitting a dissertation.
