PhD by publication ‘not an option’ at most UK universities

Review finds only one in three institutions publishes guidance on alternative doctorate format.

• Share on linkedin
• Share on mail

Just one in three UK universities publishes guidance on how students can do a PhD by publication, according to a new study that calls for the alternative doctoral format to be offered more widely.

In a review of research degree policies at 135 UK universities, only 44 had clearly stated institution-wide policies on how students could complete a PhD by  submitting peer-reviewed papers, book chapters or conference proceedings  in place of the traditional doctoral thesis .

Seventy-five universities had no publicly available information on alternative format doctorates, while two did not have institutional guidelines as they differed by department. Seven had guidelines that could be viewed only by university members.

The study, published in  Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education , argues that the variable practice across the sector reflects a “fragmented policy landscape” in relation to a format that is widely available in Europe and Australia.

While most Russell Group universities – 58 per cent – awarded PhDs by publication, there was a “tendency for post-92 institutions not to offer an alternative format option”, explains the study by Caitlin Robinson, a research fellow in the University of Bristol ’s School of Geographical Sciences.

That stratification may make it harder for those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds to gain a doctorate as students at research-intensive universities are more likely to come from affluent groups, contends the study.

“I had expected to find most universities were offering the alternative format in some way and find it embedded in institutions’ practices, but there are clearly universities that don’t offer it, or where this route is not at all visible,” said Dr Robinson.

While she accepted that the format, which is informally known as the “staff PhD” as it is often taken by university lecturers who have not completed a doctorate earlier in their careers, “might not be appropriate for some disciplines”, Dr Robinson said it would be “good for universities to have more structured processes” on how to obtain a PhD by publication.

Criteria for PhD by publication differed markedly between universities, explains the report. For those who offered it, most did not stipulate a minimum or maximum number of submitted or published papers, but some asked for between one and three papers to have been published before they were considered by a viva committee.

Some insisted on publishing outlets having a journal impact factor while others did not, while institutions offered different information regarding the role of doctoral examiners and supervisors.

“It’s good for people to have this option if they want to do it,” said Dr Robinson, stating that those with proven expertise in their discipline should be allowed more flexible ways of gaining a credential that can often be crucial for academic promotions and in hiring decisions.

“PhDs by publication are often gained by those with a substantial body of work who want a doctorate – they need to be supported so they can develop a coherent project with the traditional structure, terminology and context that you would find with a traditional PhD.”

Introduction

Obtaining a PhD by publication is relatively uncommon in higher education. It can, however, be especially useful for established researchers who have published work but don’t yet have a PhD. This article gives information on exactly what a PhD by publication is, how it works and what the advantages and disadvantages are. Read on to learn more.

What is a PhD by Publication?

A PhD by publication is a doctoral degree awarded to a person who has several peer-reviewed publications that have been put together as separate ‘chapters’, contributing to a unified research theme within a specific field.

This format typically consists of a significant introductory chapter, up to 10,000 words, similar to a traditional thesis, followed by around five published research papers and a final chapter to bring things to a conclusion. Although these papers will be separate bodies of work, it’s important that they’re connected along one research theme.

This route to PhD can be attractive to researchers that have published a lot in their academic career but have not followed the traditional PhD path. It helps them gain recognition for their contributions to their research field and recognition that the work they have done has been of a doctoral level without having to write a separate PhD thesis.

A PhD by publication is awarded following a  viva (also known as an oral examination) with examiners, similar to the process of a traditional PhD.

What are the Advantages?

A clear advantage of a PhD by publication is that you’re submitting a portfolio of work that has already gone through extensive peer review. This means that by the time you come to defend your work at a viva, it’s much easier. For example, the questions your examiners may ask you could be very similar to the questions you were asked by your reviewers during your paper publication phase and so you will already have prepared suitable responses to these.

Another advantage of this route is that it’s a much quicker way of obtaining a PhD degree; traditional PhD programmes take between three and four years from registration to completion whereas you can get a PhD by publication within one year of registration with the University, assuming that you enrol on this degree having already published all the papers that you will include in your portfolio of work. The shorter duration means that you often will only have to pay for one year of University fees, meaning that this approach is cheaper than a traditional method. It’s often possible that you can work any part-time job alongside preparing your publication portfolio for viva examination submission.

What are the Disadvantages?

Not all research fields or questions are suitable for a PhD by publication. In some cases, it may be necessary to design, set up and run a new PhD project in the field, recording the generation of further data. Additionally, it may be difficult to expand upon your previous publications and explore different research ideas as you put together your portfolio of papers. As this approach is a relatively uncommon way to get a PhD, some institutions may be unfamiliar or not set up to facilitate a PhD by publication. While the final viva examination will be the same as that in a traditional PhD, there is always the risk that some examiners may not see this publication route as being a ‘real’ PhD.

You’re also likely to miss out on some other aspects of PhD life by going down the publication route, including opportunities to teach or supervise undergraduate students and the experience of working within a research lab alongside other PhD students.

How Long Does a PhD by Publication Take?

You should expect a PhD by publication to take six months to one year to obtain from your point of registration with a UK University. This is on the basis that you have already published work for all the material that you would plan to include within your PhD portfolio, or that it is currently going through the review process. This approach is shorter than pursuing a traditional PhD, which typically takes between three and four years as a full-time student.

What is the Application Process?

You apply using the standard process required by the university to enrol, in the same way as the traditional route of a PhD. In addition, however, you will be asked to submit a portfolio of your prior publication track record and a supporting statement outlining the work of these existing publications, detailing how they tell a coherent story with the relevant subject area you’re applying to. You won’t need to submit a formal PhD research proposal as most, if not all, of the research should already have been completed.

Do you have Supervision?

Yes, in the same way that a traditional PhD student will have a primary supervisor to oversee your project. The role of the supervisor will be to help you establish a clear narrative for the theme you’re putting together of your publications, offering critical appraisal where necessary.

He or she will advise you on how to structure the introductory and concluding bodies of work that are required before you submit your portfolio for external examination and viva. Remember that the supervisor is there to advise and not tell you how to structure your dissertation; this is the same for any research student doing a standard PhD.

With this researcher-supervisor relationship, your options may be open in terms of whether you need to be based at the University in person or if you choose to work remotely as a distance learning student, communicating with your supervisor over email or video calls.

How does Assessment Work?

The body of work that you submit will be read and assessed by two examiners that are experts within your subject area of research. This will be followed by the viva examination with the two examiners, in line with the conventional PhD approach. To be awarded this research degree you will need to demonstrate that your work has made an original contribution to furthering the subject knowledge within your field.

Finding a PhD has never been this easy – search for a PhD by keyword, location or academic area of interest.

How Much Does It Cost?

As a PhD by publication usually takes about a year to complete, most universities typically charge a fee equivalent to one year of PhD study. The exact amount will vary depending on the University, but usually, the tuition fee will be around  £4,500  for one year for UK and EU students, and considerably more if you are an international student. It’s challenging to secure funding for these types of PhD degrees and you will find that you’re unlikely to be eligible for financial support from research councils or other routes of funding.

What Kind of Publications Can I use in my Portfolio?

Universities will have specific guidance about factors such as how many publications you can include in your portfolio and there may be some restrictions on when they should have been published. Typically, you will include 5 publications in your submission to your PhD examiners, but this can in some circumstances be as low as 3 or 4 or as high as 10 separate papers. Most often these will be in the form of  journal articles accepted by peer reviewed journals but can also include published book chapters, scientific or technical reports that have been published or other forms of publication that have gone through a level of peer review.

A PhD by publication is a good way for you to graduate with a doctorate if you enter this research programme having already published several academic papers on a single research theme. You need to demonstrate that you have made a significant contribution to your field through previous research. At this stage it is likely to be the cheapest and fastest route to gaining a PhD. However, applicants should be mindful when they apply that it may be challenging to secure funding for this.

Available research degrees

Find out what research degree programmes are available at UWE Bristol and what they entail.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

A PhD typically takes three to four years of full-time study, or four up to a maximum of seven years of part-time study.

PhD students undertake independent research culminating in the submission of written work (normally in the form of a thesis). Typically, you will have developed your own research proposal or will be applying for a studentship with a pre-approved project aim.

Guiding you throughout your PhD study and successive milestones will be your supervision team led by a Director of Studies.

About your thesis

Word length for the PhD thesis varies according to discipline and is generally about 40,000 words for engineering, creative practice and science subjects, or up to 80,000 for other areas.

The preparation of a PhD thesis is intellectually challenging and, because of the particular demands of scholarship, differs in important respects from consultancy reports or other forms of writing.

The criteria for the PhD award stresses that the student has made an original contribution to knowledge in their field by critically investigating and evaluating an approved topic, and demonstrates an understanding of research methods. Read the regulations about postgraduate qualification descriptors in the  Doctoral Academy Handbook .

After you have submitted your thesis

After you submit, your thesis will be the subject of an oral examination (viva voce) in which you will need to show how you have critically investigated your area of research and made an independent and original contribution to knowledge.

Credits required

You will need to gain 60 taught module credits (included in the tuition fee) in order to complete the requirements of a PhD . This will provide you with an opportunity to develop your subject-specific expertise and professional skills.

There are also researcher development workshops on offer to prepare you for every step of your PhD journey (and your career beyond) which are delivered by the Doctoral Academy and included in the tuition fee.

Master of Philosophy (MPhil)

An MPhil typically takes two to three years of full-time study, or up to four years of part-time study.

MPhil students undertake independent research culminating in the production of a thesis. Typically, you will have developed your own research proposal or will be applying for a studentship with a pre-approved project aim.

Guiding you throughout your MPhil study and successive milestones will be your supervision team led by a Director of Studies.

Word length for the MPhil thesis varies according to the discipline and is generally about 20,000 words for engineering, creative practice and science subjects, or up to 40,000 for other areas.

UWE Bristol’s criteria for the MPhil award stress that the student must demonstrate that they have systematically investigated and evaluated an approved topic and demonstrated an understanding of research methods. Read the regulations about postgraduate qualification descriptors in the  Doctoral Academy Handbook .

After you submit, your thesis will be the subject of an oral examination (viva voce) in which you will need to show how you have critically investigated your area of research in a way which contributes to knowledge within your field of study.

You will need to gain 60 taught module credits (inclusive in the tuition fee) in order to complete the requirements of an MPhil. This will provide you with an opportunity to develop your subject-specific expertise and professional skills.

There are also researcher development workshops on offer to prepare you for every step of your MPhil journey and your career beyond, which are delivered by the Doctoral Academy and included in the tuition fee.

Doctor of Philosophy by publication (DPhil)

A DPhil typically takes one to three years of part-time study.

A research degree by publication may be granted to students who successfully submit evidence of scholarship through a collection or substantial piece of published work (this may include books, original and exhibited creative work in any medium, peer reviewed publications in the public domain or any other form of scholarly publication). The submitted work will comprise a portfolio of published material and a critical commentary.

Criteria for DPhil applications

Applications for DPhil are only open to those who meet one of the following criteria:

• The applicant is employed by the University, or employed by an affiliated institution of the University.
• The applicant has a close association with the University, as determined by the Executive Dean of the relevant College or, for applicants not linked to a particular College, by the Vice-Chancellor.

Professional Doctorate (Prof Doc)

A Prof Doc typically takes between four to six years of part-time study, up to a maximum of seven years.

UWE Bristol’s Prof Doc programmes are designed to provide doctoral level studies leading to a professional qualification.

Credit-bearing modules and your thesis

The structure of each of the Prof Doc programmes varies, but each programme is comprised of a taught element, where students complete a number of credit-bearing modules through workshops and assignments, and a research element involving the submission of a thesis and examination by viva voce.

Word length for the Prof Doc thesis varies according to discipline and is generally about 35,000 words for engineering, creative practice and science subjects, or up to 60,000 for other areas.

There is a requirement of 120–270 credits at Masters level that are built into the taught element of each programme.

Story Foundry PhD by Publication (Distance Learning)

Postgraduate degree

Key facts Close

Entry requirements.

We encourage applicants from across the arts, culture, sciences and humanities disciplines, who are already champions of story and who want to add a PhD qualification to their practice/career. You'll need to be demonstrably dedicated to crossing disciplinary boundaries both within and outside of the University and the industry. 

This PhD by Publication encourages innovative and interdisciplinary forms of practice with a narrative or story-based focus.

• Complete a high-quality research programme from your current location.
• Gain accreditation for your professional contribution to knowledge in your field.
• Join a dynamic international network of cultural sector professionals and academics.

The Story Foundry PhD by Publication is an international liberal arts PhD for established practitioners to integrate innovative forms of practice into critical narrative investigation.

The PhD by Publication differs from the regular Story Foundry PhD in that it's for practitioners who already have a substantial body of work and want to take their career to the next level by achieving academic accreditation. The programme encourages unique and diverse interdisciplinary approaches to research with an emphasis on narrative-based approaches in film, creative writing, immersive technology, science communication and performance.

This doctoral programme is hosted by leading industry experts within Bath Spa University’s research centre The Story Society . Since 2016, Professor Bambo Soyinka and The Story Society (previously named TRACE: Research Centre for Transcultural Creativity and Education) have been supporting students from a diverse range of backgrounds to complete innovative PhDs across borders. Our alumni and current students include published novelists, Hollywood scriptwriters, film festival directors, spoken word artists and broadcasters.

This programme is a distance learning PhD, open to full-time international students who have a well-established professional career. It gives you the flexibility to continue to live and work where you're based while following an independent research programme supported by regular supervision sessions. You'll have the opportunity to engage with a shorter time of study, taking two years instead of three, to complete and submit a 10,000-20,000-word thesis. This programme does not require UK residency.

Your PhD proposal must have a clear central vision and concept. Narrative research, creative nonfiction, creative writing, scriptwriting, or contemporary approaches to storytelling should sit at the heart of your proposal.

Beyond these requirements, the field is open. Your project may span several disciplines or may incorporate elements that are not usually found in a standard course of study, for example:

• Films: One of our students has produced several short films and a feature-length film. The student’s thesis explores the motifs in his cinematic process.
• A body of writing: Another student has produced a body of writing over a period of 30 years, including several novels and plays. The student’s thesis explores paradigms of power, time and space in her selected textual works.

Your established outputs to-date can include (but are not limited to) written publications, conference presentations, or a track record of creative artworks, such as fine art, design, music or performance. These outputs will be the foundation on which you continue your study on the course. Innovative projects which cross boundaries and borders are of particular interest. More generally, we're keen to support projects that have the potential to inspire, impact and transform society.

The PhD by Publication is no less rigorous than the traditional route. We welcome candidates who are active researchers/practitioners and who have developed their research skills to doctoral level. You must be able to demonstrate an extensive portfolio of creative work, public works or publications which highlight the potential for original contribution to knowledge. It's important that your creative work/practice can be judged against the PhD assessment criteria.

Please note, only International Students (i.e. from outside the UK) are eligble for this PhD course.

PhD structure

By adding an academic accreditation to your existing portfolio of work or career, you'll position yourself to take the next step, and open up further academic and industry opportunities.

You’ll be able to frame and articulate your practice and career within specialist contexts, such as situating your work within literary and storytelling traditions or within the context of social, economical and digital transformations.

Rather than focusing narrowly on the discipline or subject, we'll support you to focus on the purpose of your research and we'll help you to produce a thesis that aligns with your career goals.

This course is only available as a full-time PhD. However, highly focused candidates will be able to fit their programme of study around existing commitments.

You'll take part in an independent research programme supported by professional mentoring and supervision sessions with your Director of Studies. You'll have the opportunity to complete your PhD sooner than you would normally do. Students usually submit the thesis for their PhD by Publication within two years.

The majority of your PhD will be delivered through bespoke 1-2-1 mentoring sessions with your Director of Studies.

Throughout the programme you'll have access to a range of researcher development courses and groups. Towards the end of your PhD, we'll support you to prepare for your viva and to develop a career plan for life beyond your thesis.

You'll complete and submit a 10,000-20,000 word thesis. Most students will submit this thesis after two years but some students may find they're in a position to submit it after one year.

Opportunities

Situated in the Research and Enterprise Department as part of the Graduate College at Bath Spa University, The Story Society works closely with other departments and schools across the University. You'll automatically become a member of the The Story Society research centre and you can select which other research centres you would like to join.

At the start of every term, The Story Society publishes and shares a programme of events led by other research centres across the University.

As part of the Story Foundry PhD you'll be surrounded by leading professionals connected to a wide range of key networks in the UK writing industry. You can select which network you would like to work with to integrate and present your work, attend and present at conferences and submit publications. Our networks include:

PhD by Papers

Rather than writing a single book-like thesis examining a single topic, a PhD by Papers gives you the choice of writing a thesis comprising of several separate (though thematically unified) papers, in the style of philosophy journal articles.

Birmingham is one of the first philosophy departments in the UK to offer a PhD by Papers option and, although this style of PhD thesis is very popular at top US departments and offers many advantages for students, it is rare in the UK. The advantages include:

• Ideas don’t always come in book-shaped packages. Our PhD by Papers format recognises that, allowing you greater scope to follow your interests
• If you would like to become an academic philosopher, you will need to publish in philosophical journals, preferably before finishing your PhD. Our PhD by Papers means your work towards publishable papers is always work towards the PhD thesis, improving your academic job prospects along the way

The Department of Philosophy was ranked 1st in the UK in the Research Excellence Framework exercise 2021 based on Grade Point Average (Times Higher Education).

PDA Global Sterile Manufacturing Regulatory Guidance Comparison Workshop 2024

A one-stop-shop for global aseptic processing expectations, registration options.

Individual Registration

Register Now

Group Registration

Calling on all professionals and teams who are involved with the manufacture of aseptically filled sterile drug products for markets around the world.

Attending PDA’s new Global Sterile Manufacturing Regulatory Guidance Comparison Workshop is critical for navigating an extremely complex regulatory environment.

The workshop, based on PDA’s Global Sterile Manufacturing Regulatory Guidance Comparison Book (newly revised for release in fall 2024) and its updated comparison toolset, brings forward the regulations and information you need to ensure the compliance of your aseptic filling operations with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for all major market countries and regions.

Even if you were one of the 5,000 individuals who purchased and used PDA’s Global Sterile Manufacturing Regulatory Guidance Comparison Book published in 2016, you know expectations around the world continue to change. Keeping pace with the global regulatory requirements can be overwhelming for anyone. This update fills a much-needed gap in simplifying the challenging task of looking across regulatory guidances to ensure global compliance.

It is a professional imperative that you attend the workshop.

Why Attend?

The necessity to meet the requirements for where products are manufactured as well as where they are sold can confound the most experienced professionals and teams.

Keeping track of so many variations and ensuring compliance of manufacturing activities is an absolute must for international pharmaceutical manufacturing professionals and the companies they represent.

The newly-revised PDA Global Sterile Manufacturing Regulatory Guidance Comparison Book (2024), and associated comparison toolset presents similarities and differences in guidelines for aseptic processing from seven GMP guidances: U.S. FDA, European Commission, the World Health Organization (WHO), Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S), Canada, China, and Japan.

You receive not only immersion in the updated book content but will immediately learn how to use the comparison tool set (used by pharma manufacturing professionals around the world) to help identify gaps that may exist in your current operations and hear directly from the industry experts who literally wrote the book.

What You Gain

• You receive an early release copy of the book* and all of its tools and supporting documents (at no additional charge). This is a valuable resource to have in your hands to facilitate alignment across regions before the book is released to the industry!
• A two-day engaging, educational and practical workshop with hands-on experiences filled with practical real-world advice to ensure understanding and appropriate manufacturing compliance.
• Immediate application of new knowledge and understanding via facilitated and group-led discussions, case studies, and role-playing exercises.
• How to perform a gap assessment in global aseptic processing requirements.
• How to master internal assessment of sterile manufacturing.
• How to inform decision-making when considering future investments.
• How to apply PDA’s comparison tool to ensure your training programs are in alignment with Health Authorities’ expectations and industry best practices.
• How to consider the impact of quality management systems on business operations.
• How to identify and discuss significant misalignments of the seven major sterile manufacturing guidances.

Attend the workshop to learn from PDA’s industry experts and your peers and become informed and empowered about sterile manufacturing regulations and compliance from U.S. FDA, European Commission, the World Health Organization (WHO), Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S), Canada, China, and Japan.

*PDA will release the revised Global Sterile Manufacturing Regulatory Guidance Comparison book to the industry and public for purchase in October 2024.
