Publishing a VID report

Dissemination is an important part of VID's societal mission.

The university's report series aims to create dialogue with the public, the practical field, and society. In addition, the dissemination should help apply R&D results in practice.

How to publish

The university recommends the APA standard for citing sources.
If the report contains images, illustrations, or tables covered by copyright, these may need to be rights-cleared by the author(s).
