Thus, students must enroll on the course only after the final publication of the article, more exactly in the semester which immediately follows publication. The article has to be thematically connected to the dissertation research , e.g. it must discuss theoretical or methodological aspects of the dissertation or a partial topic of the dissertation research. The article must be published in a journal which is, in the given year, listed in either Web of Science or SCOPUS databases. Students are required to have at least 1/3 contribution to the published article.
