There's no formal degree-through-publication route (at least, not that I know of), but my dissertation was five of my papers concatenated into a big PDF. (At the time I submitted it, one of the papers was published, two were in press, and two in review. They're all published now, though both of the in-review ones ended up in different journals.)<br /><br />It all felt very civilised to me. The publications and in-press acceptances didn't <i>constitute</i> the degree, but it would have been hard for the examiners to argue that work accepted at international journals wasn't up to scratch.Mike Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039663158335543317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841910768079015534.post-10039739423440759662013-10-10T09:31:01.577+01:002013-10-10T09:31:01.577+01:00I also really like the Australian system, where st...I also really like the Australian system, where students can either write a traditional thesis, or get the PhD degree through publication. If the latter, then the thesis consists of a collection of published papers woven together by an introduction that covers the major issues in the field. Does anywhere in the UK allow this?
