Focus – The thesis by compilation is becoming an increasingly common format for doctoral studies across all disciplines. This session considers the ANU policy and context when submitting a series of publications for doctoral examination and explores both the benefits and challenges this format affords.

By the end of this workshop, you will understand:

the ANU policy and its implications for your HDRs and their writing;
the advantages of writing a thesis by compilation;
the situations where this format introduces extra challenges for both HDRs and their supervisors.

Lead – Dr Cally Guerin is a member of the Researcher Development and HDR Supervision Development teams at ANU. She has been teaching, researching and publishing on doctoral education since 2008, working with both HDR supervisors and students to develop effective research practices. She is currently the joint executive editor of Higher Education Research & Development and a founding co-editor of the Doctoral Writing blog.
