To do:

  • Supervisor submits the final version of the manuscript for plagiarism screening in a single unique mail to the Medical Library and the Dean/Office of Doctorate Affairs
  • Supervisor/co-supervisor submits an identical version of the manuscript to all voting members of the Doctorate Committee for examination (together with a copy of Appendix A of the Doctoral thesis assessment form)

Note 1: The final version of the manuscript can be sent to all the above in a single unique mail so all parties receive the exact same version

Note 2: In addition to both the University of Amsterdam and VU Amsterdam Doctorate Regulations, the Amsterdam UMC Executive Board has specified additional requirements (by decision 7 July 2021), to harmonize the rules that apply to PhD students preparing a doctorate at either university in Amsterdam. The document 'Supplementary Regulations Faculty of Medicine - Amsterdam UMC' is to be found here below, under 'Downloads'.

Note 3: The plagiarism screening results report will be automatically sent to the supervisor(s) and the Dean/Office of Doctorate Affairs only

Note 4: To prepare for a general discussion on your PhD thesis, you can use the 'format for starting a general discussion of your PhD thesis' under 'Service/General' as a manual

Note 5: In case of shared first author roles on a paper: be aware that it is not permitted to reverse the order of the names mentioned

Necessary documents:

  • Final manuscript in PDF, including academic title page and summaries (in Dutch and English) and portfolio

  • Appendix A of the Doctoral thesis assessment form (in English or in Dutch)
  • Note: The Appendix A form should be sent to the supervisor only (and not to the Office of Doctorate Affairs). Printed copies are expected to be delivered to the Dean/Office of Doctorate Affairs in step 6
