Photo Shutterstock You slave away for years and then finally it’s finished. The doctoral thesis is the crowning glory of your scientific education. Some people have had enough by that point and rustle up any old cover in no time. But fortunately most PhD candidates take a lot of care with their cover.
The editors have selected ten exceptional covers from the almost 300 theses that were defended in the course of 2022. We will admit the choice is a little arbitrary, but all the nominated covers stand out in one way or another. They catch the eye with their creativity, lettering, use of colour and ‘booklikeness’. They wouldn’t look out of place in a bookshop.
But only one cover can be the best. Visitors to this site and a jury will decide who wins the 2022 Cover Prize. Visitors do this by casting one vote each below. The opinions of the voters and the jury are given equal weight. If there is a tie, the jury will decide.
Voting closes on Monday, 9 January 2023 at 12:00 midday (Dutch time). The result will be announced as soon as possible, both online and in the next Resource magazine.
