Register and publish your essay or degree project in DiVA

Here you will find information on how to publish your thesis or degree project in DiVA. Contact details for the DiVA administrators can be found at the bottom of the page.

Before you publish

  • To use other people's images or diagrams, you must have permission from the copyright owner.
  • If your personal identity number is shown somewhere in the thesis, it may be a good idea to remove it before publication.

How to register a thesis in DiVA

  1. Log in to DiVA External link. with your MDU-ID.
  2. Then click on: “Add publication/upload files”. Then select the type of publication in the drop-down list, i.e. student thesis (degree project). After this click continue.
  3. Write your MDU-ID in the box for "lokalt användarid”/local user-ID.
  4. For “Division, department or programme: Select organisation” you must select which School you are studying at.
  • School of Business, Society and Engineering (EST)
  • School of Health, Care and Social Welfare (HVV)
  • School of Innovation, Design and Engineering (IDT)
  • School of Education, Culture and Communication (UKK)
  • If you leave the box blank or only select ”Mälardalen University” the thesis will not be sorted to the correct School administration, which will create a delay for you as a student. The School will not receive a notification of your registration and the administrator cannot process the thesis in DiVA.
  • Fill in the year of publication and number of pages. Normally only the pages numbered in your thesis should be counted. A series title should only be selected if you have written your project on the Teacher Education programme, otherwise, you can skip this part.
  • Write/paste in the abstract (summary of thesis).
  • Upload your PDF file in DiVA. You can choose whether the file should be freely available on the internet or whether it should be hidden. If you don't want the file to be accessible, check the "Archiving Only" option.
  • Once you have uploaded the pdf file, you must accept and read the terms and conditions of publishing.
  • After submission, your thesis will be processed by an administrator at your School. Your thesis will not be visible in DiVA until it has been approved by the administrator. This can take some time.
