Long description:

Focusing on education, library and broader social science research, this practical book is the ultimate guide for PhD students undertaking a thesis by publication (TBP) - a thesis that includes scholarly outputs produced during the period of doctoral study.

Answering key questions and highlighting the benefits of this approach, the book also identifies common challenges and how to overcome them. Chapters cover:

Initial planning and support;
Project managing a TBP;
Navigating journal article publications;
The ethics and principles of joint authorship;
Academic writing for TBP;
Revising and resubmitting;
Knowledge mobilisation and Open Access.

Written by an internationally recognised expert, this is an invaluable resource for students who are either considering or currently undertaking a TBP in the social sciences, containing everything you will need to succeed.

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!
