Frequently Asked Questions

How can I customise page numbering in Word?

If for example, you wish to start page numbering on page 3 or have different page numbering in an attachment, you need to enter paragraph breaks in Word.

How do I convert my thesis to pdf-format?

Conversion to pdf is an integrated feature of Word (2007 version or newer).

How to combine pdf-files

Use PDFsam Basic to combine two or more pdf files into a single pdf. PDFsam Basic is available via the University's Remote Desktop (folder Kontorsprogram).

There is an error in the description of my thesis in DiVA or the pdf-file

Request that the course administrator for your subject correct the error in DiVA. If the error is contained in the pdf document, send a corrected file to the course administrator.

After you have submitted your thesis

When you have submitted your thesis, it has to be checked by a course administrator before it can be published or archived. This might take a week or two. For this reason, you will not be able to see your thesis in DiVA immediately after you have submitted it. If you have provided your e-mail address you will receive a confirmation when your paper is published.

Where will my paper be published?

Once your paper is published, you will be able to find it in DiVA, Essays.se and search tools such as Google.

Who owns the copyright to my thesis?

Your thesis is publishing in DiVA according to the so-called open access principle. This means that it is freely available to read and download.

The author always retains copyright for works published in DiVA. The author’s permission is therefore required if the work is to be republished elsewhere.
