Publishing your PhD with ASP

As an academic publishing company, Academic & Scientific Publishers (ASP), offers Ph D students the possibility to publish their doctoral thesis in a professional way, at competitive prices, with an extensive and flexible service going far beyond a mere ‘printing’ assignment.

What does ASP offer?

  • We provide a customised cover. This can be either a straightforward ‘standard’ cover, or an original graphic design.
  • We assign an ISBN and legal deposit and provide for a colophon page, making sure the doctoral thesis is registered and protected by copyright.
  • We have the required knowhow to correct and modify the ‘printer ready’ manuscript, and proactively provide advice on layout, page settings and structure.
  • ASP includes the doctoral thesis in its catalogue and publishes it on its website, if the copyright allows for selling the doctoral thesis. The book will also be listed on Google Book Search and ‘Boekenbank’. Doctoral theses in English can be distributed through our US distributor IPG as well as through Amazon, thus providing for the largest possible visibility and availability for the published work.
  • Copyright is settled in agreement with the Ph D student and the university, meticulously respecting (previous) arrangements and demands with respect to possible embargos.
  • At simple request ASP will provide an electronic version (pdf) to the Ph D student and to the university.
  • The entire production process will encompass maximum 14 days – from the first contact with the Ph D student. ASP is at ease with the tight timing of Ph D students, and will therefore provide an extremely short delivery time.

What are the advantages of our personal guidance?

Besides the essential technical, graphic and administrative support, our editing experience can provide added value by making the doctoral thesis a more appealing and professional publication. After all, we check manuscripts for errors and imperfections on a daily basis and often notice that they still contain the following imperfections:

  • Incorrect page layout
  • Table of contents does not (entirely) match the structure in the document
  • Errors in paging or the use of headers and footers
  • Images of insufficient quality
  • Etc.

After spending months looking at a text, one can develop a blind spot for certain issues. Fresh eyes can help filter the last imperfections from a manuscript.

What does it cost?

ASP guarantees competitive prices for the service offered. As prices depend on variables such as the number of copies, the number of pages, the number of colour pages and the cover design, we provide each Ph D student a precise offer free of engagement.
