There are many options for publishing your Bachelor's and Master's theses. Publication is not automatically organised by the Department of Earth Sciences or the Earth Sciences Library, but you must become active yourself. We recommend the following options and will be happy to advise and support you.

1. For a free provision of the printed version of your thesis in the Earth Sciences Library, please hand in a printed copy to the library. This copy must correspond to the version submitted to the examination office.
2. For a free digital publication on the document server of Freie Universität, the Refubium, please follow the instructions on this website (available in German only). For Bachelor's and Master's theses, they will only be published if the supervisor of your thesis has recommended publication (please use this recommendation form). You can find a detailed step-by-step guide for publishing your thesis in Refubium here (available in German only). Please also note the information on personal data in student theses (link).
3. For a free digital publication on a publication server other than the Refubium, we recommend the ‘Zenodo’ service. Tutorials for uploading can be found here and here.
