• Publishing the final report in Aaltodoc archive
  With permission from the instructor(s) and the supervisor, the approved final report can be published in the Aalto University publication archive, Aaltodoc. Instructions for submitting the report to Aaltodoc can be found below.

  Motivation

  The physics special assignment are often done on topics that are highly interesting to the scientific or technical community. Well-prepared special assignment reports can therefore be a valuable resource to a broader audience. In fact, special assignment projects done in an academic research group often contribute to a peer-reviewed scientific journal publications prepared by the research team.

  An alternative or additional way to communicate the results of the project to a wider audience is to publish the final report in the Aaltodoc archive (https://aaltodoc.aalto.fi/).

  It can be motivating for the student to know that the fruits of his/her hard work can be made publically available. An outstanding public special assignment report can also help the student establish a good professional reputation early on in his/her career. Nevertheless, publishing a special assignment report in Aaltodoc is entirely optional to the student, and can only be done with the student’s permission.
