Doctoral dissertations by publication: building scholarly capacity whilst advancing new knowledge in the discipline of nursing

Francis, Karen , Mills, Jane , Chapman, Ysanne , and Birks, Melanie (2009) Doctoral dissertations by publication: building scholarly capacity whilst advancing new knowledge in the discipline of nursing. International Journal of Doctoral Studies, 4. pp. 97-106.

Internationally universities are increasingly challenged by government and industry to boost their research profile. Undertaking successful research studies is a means of generating income while enhancing the credibility of both institutions and individual academic staff. Research training therefore is an important strategy to support this endeavour. Traditionally, the process of research training culminates in the completion of a doctoral qualification. Undertaking doctoral studies requires candidates to commit to an extensive period of indenture during which they develop their knowledge about a particular methodology, refine skills in using research methods, and produce research findings in the form of a dissertation. A key part of this process is developing skills in writing for publication and the dissemination of their doctoral research findings. We argue that using a traditional approach to the production of a doctoral dissertation develops student’s knowledge and skills in conducting an independent piece of research. However, the production of a traditional thesis does not focus strongly enough on developing the important skills of writing for publication and knowing how to effectively and strategically disseminate research findings. Choosing to submit a doctoral dissertation by publication or partial publication provides candidates with the opportunity to complete research training and produce an authoritative research report, while at the same time developing skills in publishing journal articles and other manifests. Producing a dissertation by partial or full publication also opens the work up to independent scrutiny at various points during the candidate’s research training which strengthens the final results.

Some publishers allow authors to include the final published version of an article within the author's thesis. This means that, regardless of the copyright status of the article, you retain the right to include your published articles in your thesis and that James Cook University (as your awarding institution) can upload your thesis to the open access repository, ResearchOnline@JCU .

This is a list of known publishers' policies and statements, correct in 2023. Library staff will add publishers and policies as we come across them. Information from publishers is subject to change and you should always check that the policies are still in use and that you adhere to any specified permission conditions.

Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.

Note that permissions should still be discussed and negotiated when signing author or publishing agreements .

Taylor & Francis has previously included specific wording around reuse of articles in theses, but this wording is no longer available online.

Wiley is not on this list as they do not allow the final published versions of copyright articles to be included in an open access thesis.

A Research Masters degree, where at least two thirds of the degree consisted of a supervised research component and resulted in the production of a thesis or equivalent; or
A combination of qualifications, research training and experience, considered equivalent to the above and deemed appropriate by the university, e.g., senior authorship of at least one peer-reviewed publication plus completion of an appropriate research methods subject.

Note: Candidates who do not meet any of the above may apply for a higher degree pathway offered in the form of the Graduate Certificate of Research Methods or the Graduate Diploma of Research Methods.

English Requirements

Applicants of non-English speaking backgrounds must meet the English language proficiency requirements of IELTS 6.5 (no component lower than 6.0) / TOEFL (Internet Based) 86 (no component less than 21) / Pearson PTE Academic 58 (no component less than 54); or

Data Publication

Data was collected for a PhD research project. The project investigated factors related to academic help-seeking behaviour in higher education using quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data was collected via an online survey. Qualitative data was collected via semi-structured interviews. These were conducted via video calls.

It was found that reducing stigma, increasing positive attitudes and subjective norm, ensuring satisfaction, and providing timely and targeted promotion increase engagement with academic support. Universities can use these findings to improve academic support and ultimately student success.

The data methods are available in the Open Access publications from the Related publications link below.

The de-identified quantitative dataset is stored as an SPSS file (.sav). The SPSS files have also been exported in MS Excel (.xlxs) and CSV formats with the value labels. These files are available via conditional access i.e. negotiation with the Data Manager. The SPSS variable information and labels (codebook) are saved as a PDF file and can be downloaded and viewed (for context) via the link below.

The interview recordings (.m4a) and transcripts (MS Word and PDF), SPSS Amos files (.amw) and Nvivo project (.nvp) have been archived in secure storage. Access to these files is restricted.

Software/equipment used to create/collect the data: Qualtrics, Zoom

Software/equipment used to manipulate/analyse the data: SPSS, SPSS Amos, NVivo

Proof-reading and Editing

Advisors of HDR candidates are expected to provide editorial advice to their students. Students are permitted to use additional editors in preparing their thesis for submission for examination, but should discuss this with their primary advisor and provide the editor with a copy of the following guidelines before they commence work. These guidelines are intended to clarify the extent to which external paid assistance may be involved in the preparation of the final version of a thesis or dissertation prior to submission.
