Focusing on education and library research, this book aims to be a practical guide on how to create PhD theses effectively, incorporating scholarly publications written during candidature. Thesis by Publication (TBP) is a growing and appealing alternative to the traditional monograph PhD thesis in humanities and social sciences, having long been the norm in other disciplines, such as STEM. Highlighting the benefits of this approach, this title also identifies common challenges and how to overcome them. Chapters will cover:
- The benefits and challenges of TBP
- How to efficiently plan how to project manage
- The ethics and principles of joint authorship
This book will help students to anticipate and overcome these challenges as well as plan and achieve TBP efficiently and successfully.
Margaret Merga's PhD Thesis by Publication in Social Science Research is an accessible guide for research students exploring this pathway. In addition to highlighting the many benefits of undertaking this approach, Margaret provides practical advice on navigating university policy and supervisory dynamics. What I loved most in these discussions was her open and candid approach which worked to demystify the various complexities involved. The excellent guidance and illustrative examples for choosing journals, understanding publication impact, and responding to reviewer feedback (or not!), make this book an essential companion for research students!
