Theses and dissertations

ABCD/USP offers guidelines regarding the structure of the theses and dissertations submitted at USP on the publication “Diretrizes para apresentação de dissertações e teses da USP” (portuguese).

At IAG, it is required a double-sided copy of the thesis or dissertation, to be filed at the Institute's library.

Index card

The index card contains the technical description of the document. It must be printed on the back of the title page. The keywords must be selected within USP's Controlled Vocabulary.

Publishing at USP's Digital Library

Theses and dissertations from USP's Graduate Programmes are published at USP's Digital Library (instructions).  

Following instructions from USP, aiming at standardization for bibliographic databases and indexes, IAG's name must be listed in Portuguese as:

Universidade de São Paulo, Instituto de Astronomia, Geofísica e Ciências Atmosféricas

This instruction follows ISNI, Ringgold, ROR and GRID standards, and is consistent with citation databases (Web of Science, Scopus), which provided data for international academic rankings.
