The obligatory 20 copies of the thesis must be printed in connection with the public defence. The printing cost of the obligatory copies is covered by the faculty. The faculty covers up to five colour images.
Requisition form
You must download the requisition form after the dean has approved the recommendation.
Additional copies for your own use may also be printed. You will be billed separately for the additional amount of copies you order. Your billing address must be stated on the requisition form.
The requisition form must be completed, signed and returned to your executive officer, who will forward it to the publisher. Afterwards you have to get in touch with the publisher and forward the thesis as a pdf-file.
Printing can not under any circumstances start before the dean has approved the recommendation.
Printing agreement
The University has its own print centre Reprosentralen. They recommend that the whole thesis is submitted as a pdf-file. Contact Reprosentralen directly by phone or email if you have any questions about printing or script layout.
PhD theses published by the Faculty of Medicine have a standard format and cover, and a serial number (ISBN). The cover has been standardised in accordance with the University of Oslo's graphic profile.
The publisher needs five working days for printing. During peak season printing can take somewhat longer time.

Errata list
An errata list gives a complete overview of the errors which you want to correct after the thesis has been found worthy of defence. The list should not be long as it is expected that the thesis is well-prepared before you hand it in for evaluation. Example of an errata list at the Faculty of Medicine.
Who should you send the errata list to and when do you have to submit it?
Application for permission to correct formal errors in the thesis after submission should be sent to the Faculty by e-mail, with the errata list enclosed as an attachment. The application must according to UiO's regulations be submitted no later than 6 weeks before the date of the public defence so that the Faculty and/or evaluation committee has time to process the application. The thesis cannot be printed before the list of formal errors has been approved. You are advised to apply early. Note that you can only submit an errata list one time. A complete overview of the errors must be printed in the final version of the thesis.
Digital publications at the UiO (DUO)
You can make your thesis available digitally through DUO – Digital Publications at the University of Oslo. The purpose of DUO is to create an effective system for academic communication in accordance with the basic goals of research – i.e. broadest possible dissemination of research results.
Printing costs
Please contact the publisher directly for information about printing prices.
Distribution
The obligatory 20 copies will be delivered to the faculty, which is responsible for distributing the theses.
