What is the meaning of promotor and copromotor in Dutch PhD thesis? I would like to know what is the difference between author and contributor in the Dutch system, and how to appropriately cite such a thesis? Only author? (APA format) Why this strange name promotor? Is this related to promotion?
In Belgium (Flanders) a Promotor is the English term they use to refer to the Advisor/Supervisor. The co-promotor would be a second supervisor. Therefore, I think just citing the Author is enough.
