UTUKandi
UTUKandi is the electronic process of the University of Turku for bachelor’s degree theses which includes plagiarism detection, assessment and approval as well as electronic publication and storage of the theses.
UTUKandi follows in the footsteps of the electronic UTUGradu process for master’s degree theses that was implemented in 2018. The purpose of UTUKandi is to:
- improve the electronic availability of bachelor’s theses
- make the submission and approval process of theses clearer and more effortless
- clarify the thesis publication process and
- to ensure storage standardise the approval process for theses
The development of the UTUKandi process has involved several University units:
- The Digital Services is in charge of the planning and implementation of the technical environment.
- The Educational Affairs is responsible for planning the implementation (customer service and training) and for the electronic originality check as part of the process.
- The University Library is responsible for verifying the bibliographic information, transferring the thesis to the publication archive UTUPub, and publication (to the extent approved by the student).
