Thesis including Published Works : Faculty of Science Guidelines
Number of papers | A minimum of ONE paper submitted for publication, accepted OR published. |
Chapters in paper format which have NOT been submitted | These are considered ‘traditional thesis chapters’. A declaration acknowledging author contribution is still required AND must be clearly labelled as Not submitted. |
Declarations | Chapters which have been submitted for publication, accepted, published OR formatted as papers but NOT submitted, require the “Thesis including published works declaration” table to be completed. This table should NOT be completed for thesis chapters NOT formatted as papers. |
NB. If none of the chapters in the thesis have been submitted, accepted for publication OR published, then the thesis is NOT a “Thesis including Published Works”. The thesis can be submitted in paper format with appropriate linking chapters but as a ‘traditional thesis’ using the general declaration.
Sample declaration for non-submitted papers in paper format.
