Similarly to the case of surfaces, it is known (see Theorem 1.1 and references therein) that for \(X\) a nonsingular minimal complex projective \(3\)-fold of general type, if the canonical map \(\phi:X \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^{p_g(X)-1}\) is generically finite then, either \(p_g(\phi(X))=0\), or \(p_g(X)=p_g(\phi(X))\) and the canonical map of \(\phi(X)\) is of degree one (\(p_g\) stands for the geometric genus). Naturally, the question of bounding the degree of the possible canonical maps appears. The main result of the paper under review (see Theorem 1.2) is that if \(M\) is a nonsingular model of \(\phi(X)\) then: (1) if \(p_g(\phi(X))=0\) and \(K_M\) is pseudoeffective then \(\deg(\phi)\leq 108\); (2) if \(p_g(X)=p_g(\phi(X))\) then \(\deg(\phi) \leq 86\) and moreover if \(p_g(X) \geq 111\) then \(\deg(\phi) \leq 32\).
