Sisältö

The article-based (or compilation) dissertation has become increasingly common in most disciplines although its format varies considerably among universities, depending also on the field. The aim of this module is to assist the participants in the preparation of the compilation section of their own article-based dissertation. We will compare the two main dissertation types (monograph and compilation), examine the general and faculty-specific guidelines for writing the compilation section, and discuss the writing process from a practical perspective. Recommended for final-stage doctoral students.
