Publishing in openHSU

Members of Helmut Schmidt University with an active HSU-ID can publish and archive their scientific documents, such as theses, dissertations, preprints and reports, free of charge in the Research Information System openHSU.

Furthermore, only metadata (only title data or only metadata (without fulltext)) can be entered via the form in order to display a complete publication list in your researcher profile. You can maintain your publication list completely in openHSU and at the same time make a valuable contribution to the further development of the University Bibliography. Please first select the appropriate “Collection” for a publication. The publications and metadata contained in openHSU are searchable and accessible worldwide via search engines.

File names for open access publications are given a uniform designation: Your uploaded PDF file will be given a standard identifier by the University Library that is uniform for openHSU, e.g. openHSU_1234.

Publishing your qualification work (thesis)

If you would like to publish your dissertation in accordance with the doctoral regulations (in German) or if an outstanding bachelor’s or master’s thesis was written at your institution, openHSU is the perfect place to do so.

To login to openHSU, please use your HSU- or library-ID. After successfully login, you can upload your scientific publications by yourself:

  • Fill out the online form and upload your document (PDF or PDF/A).
  • Use meaningful keywords.
  • After verification by a member of staff, the document is released.
  • Important:
    • Please submit the final version of your dissertation without CV.
    • Changes are no longer possible once a DOI has been assigned.
