Smoother e-nailing process reduces stress for doctoral students

At KI, doctoral theses are made public through e-nailing, which means that the thesis is published online in KI Open Archive no later than three weeks before the defence. Now, the e-naiing process has become smoother for you as a doctoral student. What's new is that the printing company sends printed copies of your thesis directly to the university library instead of you having to do this yourself. Read more on ki.se.
