I am interested in how doctoral candidates organise their thesis when it includes one or more published or unpublished scholarly papers, particularly in the humanities and social science fields.
I am currently trying to collate as many such theses from Australia over the past 5 years, but Proquest Dissertations and Theses database is limited, as is Google Scholar.
If you completed or are aware of any doctoral dissertations that meet this criteria, I would be very grateful if you could share the details or a link to the thesis.
Thank you in advance

Hi Shannon,
I'm an environmental social scientist. I did my PhD at an Australian university and my thesis was a hybrid. It was a traditional thesis format, but four of my results chapters were individual papers (3 were published at the time, and the 4th was under review). I did a brief introduction at the start of each chapter and a reflection at the end of each. Does that help?
All the best,
Vicki
Dear Ian> I looked into the Trove database from the link you gave and managed to source several hundred theses for my corpus, so thanks heaps for the advice!
Dear Victoria> Thanks for explaining your approach. It will be interesting to see what other approaches candidates took and what problems arose for them.
