Step #6: Plagiarism Check

The PhD student must upload the final version of the PhD Thesis manuscript to the HOPLA system. For that:

1. Upload the final thesis manuscript to HOPLA webpage (https://hopla.univie.ac.at/).
2. Save confirmation of submission to be included as part of Step#5 PhD submission (see above).

After a few days, the vDSPL will receive an email from HOPLA requesting them to check the results of the plagiarism report. Note that all vDPLS (from all branches) receive this email. Only the vDSPL from the corresponding branch should continue the process.

How to revise HOPLA results (vDSPL only):

The guideline on how to revise HOPLA results describes the basic instructions for the vDSPL to review and approve the report. Note that this process should be executed in a timely manner, as the submission/defense process cannot continue without the validation of the plagiarism checks. A delay in this process can potentially affect the date of the Defense.
