Emnet ble avholdt digitalt, og dette vurderes som meget praktisk siden mange av deltakerne ikke var tilstede på campus. Tekniske opplysninger relatert til forskjellige former for publisering, ikke minst "open acess" blir viet stadig større oppmerksomhet siden det er økende krav om denne ttype publisering fra finansierings-kildene til PhD-studiet.

Hver enkelt PhD-students prosjektplan er hoved-leveransen etter gjennomføring av kurset. Det er en meget liten prosent av disse prosjektplanene som må sendes i retur til studentene for revisjon. Videre er det i hovedsak mindre justeringer som er nødvendige. Dette innebærer at studentenes oppnåelse av læringsutbytte er av god kvalitet.

Kurset ser ut til å være meget funksjonelt i forhold til studentenes arbeid med PhD-oppgaven og strukturering av del-oppgaver. Det nåværende foreleser-teamet har utstrakt erfaring med gjennomføringen av de enkelte tema. På sikt kan det vise seg å være krevende å beholde dette nivået ved erstating av enkelt-medlemmer i teamet.
