Connecting the Dots: Writing a Doctoral Thesis by Publication (original) (raw)

2016, Research Literacies and Writing Pedagogies for Masters and Doctoral Writers

AI-generated Abstract

Theses by publication are increasingly favored in academia due to the significance of publications in assessing research output and heightened competition in the job market post-PhD. While literature often addresses publishing alongside thesis work, a shift toward constructing the thesis as a compilation of articles is noticeable, creating confusion regarding acceptance standards by examiners and its suitability for various topics. The process cultivates research literacies and connections between doctoral candidates and the broader academic community, suggesting that the thesis-by-publication model may enhance scholars' identities and participation in knowledge creation.
