Publication based dissertations and habilitation theses

When publishing publication-based dissertations and habilitation theses, it is necessary to clarify in advance whether secondary publication on the Publication Server is permitted under copyright law. If the primary publication was published under an open license, e.g. a CC-BY license, secondary publication is possible without restrictions.

For more information, see Secondary Publication and Copyright. In the SHERPA/RoMEO database, you can find the usual licence and copyright conditions of the publishers. Do not hesitate to contact us for further advice!
