Online-talk: Publication of the Dissertation (08.07.2025 von 13:00 bis 14:00h)
Content:
Online publication or publisher? What do I need to consider when publishing my dissertation? And how does the publication process work?
The doctoral regulations offer several options for publishing your dissertation. We will inform you about the advantages and disadvantages of these publication models and forms of publishing as well as the publication process.
The Research Information System (FIS), the platform for the online publication of the dissertation and the institutional repository of the University of Bamberg, will be presented. Using the University of Bamberg Press (UBP) as an example, the advantages of so-called hybrid publishing will also be discussed.
The event will also address the special features of cumulative dissertations, as well as copyright and contract law issues.
You are welcome to find out more in advance here.
Planned procedure:
- Thematic introduction by means of surveys
- Presentation on the publication of the dissertation with interactive impulses
- Space for individual questions
Participants learn about the various options for publishing their dissertation and the publication process by way of example.

Online Workshop: „Academic Writing and Publishing Articles with AI Tools“ (28.07.2025, 2:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. & 22.09.2025 2:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m.) Fully booked- waiting list only

Short Outline
In this course, we focus on the entire process of preparing and publishing an academic article in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). First, we lay the groundwork for using AI in the writing process by examining its functionalities, strengths and weaknesses, as well as the usage restrictions and relevant AI tools for academic writing. We then go through the writing and publishing processes from start to finish, including strategically finding suitable calls for papers, preparing an effective abstract, and using AI tools to assist with writing the manuscript, as well as navigating the peer review process. The course consists of asynchronous self-study units and exercises in which participants work on a current project. Participants will receive individual feedback from the trainer on their work, writing process, and use of AI as needed. During the synchronous sessions, we will discuss any challenges or questions that arise and reflect on practical examples and individual issues.
