eThesis submission: Journal format theses

A Journal format thesis allows you to incorporate sections that are in a format suitable for submission for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. If you wish to submit your thesis in journal format, you should discuss this with your supervisor, and declare your intention when you complete the Notice of Submission form. See also the University's Presentation of Theses policy for more information:

• Presentation of Theses Policy: http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/DocuInfo.aspx?DocID=7420

If you are submitting a Journal format eThesis, you should select this format in step 2 of 5 of the eThesis submission form.

• Screenshots of the eThesis submission system: http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/DocuInfo.aspx?DocID=32873

Preparing and submitting your journal format thesis

‘Self-archiving’ is where a researcher makes a piece of scholarly work available via a repository. The University’s Presentation of Theses policy requires that final Doctoral theses are ‘self-archived’ and made Open Access via the University’s systems within 12 months of submission, unless an exception to this policy is required.

The structure of a journal format thesis – being comprised of a number of research papers submitted to or published in academic journals – means that you as the author need to take extra care when preparing your thesis for submission, and selecting your preferred access level for your final thesis. For each publisher you’re working with, or plan to work with, you will need to establish what each allows and requires in terms of self-archiving of work, i.e.:

• If my publisher allows me to share my work via a repository, what version of my work can I share?
• When can I share my work via a repository?
• When will my papers be published?

This information will allow you to determine:

• The version of each paper to include in your eThesis file
• The access level option to select for your final thesis

Selecting an access level for your final thesis which reflects the strictest self-archiving policy of the publishers you’re working with will ensure that you’re not infringing any of your publishers’ self-archiving policies or breaking your copyright agreements.

Decision tree: Can I share my Journal format thesis Open Access? 

This interactive guide, accessed via Typeform , aims to help you understand the checks you need to make regarding the self-archiving policies of the publishers you’re working with, and to use this information to inform:

• The version of each article you include in your eThesis file
• The access level you select for your final eThesis

We recommend that you identify the strictest publisher policy that you need to deal with, and use this policy when completing this decision tree.

Dissertation Format ¶

All students must produce a thesis, which describes in full detail the wider context of the research field including a literature review, the motivation for the research, the research which was carried out, an evaluation of the results, and a discussion of the contribution made to the field by the research and what should be done in the future. This needs to be submitted by three days before the end of the fourth year. For the relevant University policies, see ‘Policies’ Chapter.

There are two formats in which the thesis can be produced: traditional format and alternative format. Traditional format is probably what most people imagine a thesis is like, a very substantial report presented as a self-contained exposition. The alternative format thesis “... allows a postgraduate doctoral or MPhil student to incorporate sections that are in a format suitable for submission for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.” [1] . The alternative format thesis is often thought of as a collection of publications, with a short commentary associated with each one, tying the works into a unifying thread, or “thesis”.

Which you use is a decision you will need to make with your supervisor .

The advantages of the alternative format thesis are that if you already have several papers, you can more easily produce a thesis out of them. Also, if you have plans to write several papers, you can write your thesis in such a way that it will be easier to facilitate these plans, because writing the thesis will be build around writing papers. The papers can be submitted after the thesis.

The disadvantage of the alternative format is that it is less widely used in the UK, so many supervisors and examiners may be less comfortable with it.

A QandA on the alternative format thesis can be found here http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/DocuInfo.aspx?DocID=15216 . Note that it says in Section 4,

“...it may not be until year 2 or 3 that you feel you are in a position to use the alternative format.”

but it says in Section 5 that a request must be made in writing by the end of year 2. Thus, if you are considering using alternative format, apply for it by the end of year 2 . You can revert to traditional format without asking permission formally.

Plagiarism ¶

All students should make sure they are familiar with what the university expects from its students. All students are also required to complete a plagiarism course.

In view of the serious consequences of plagiarism and academic malpractice, it is essential that all students familiarise themselves with the accepted format for referencing work in their discipline, and that they start using the accepted form as soon as possible.

Ignorance of the proper format, or ignorance of the definitions of plagiarism and academic malpractice used by the university, is not a valid defence against a possible claim of plagiarism or other instance of academic malpractice.

Writing Advice ¶

Whichever format you choose, you must give yourself sufficient time to produce the thesis. You must know yourself, and how quickly you are able to write. Six months is a minimum time for most people. Some may need nine.

Do not feel that you need to write it in order; start with the easiest parts first. Usually the technical sections on the research done by you are the easiest, because you know them well. The literature review may be next easiest. The introduction is usually the hardest to write, and many advise that it be written last.

Journal format thesis submission

Submission of a thesis in journal format (formerly known as alternative format) may be appropriate for a PhD, MD or MPhil. It is an increasingly popular choice and provides students with experience of writing in journal paper formats.

If you think that your thesis would be appropriate for a journal format submission the first step is to discuss this with your supervisory team.  You no longer need approval from the Doctoral Academy to submit in this format. 

A thesis in journal format comprises sections that are in a format suitable for publication or dissemination. These can be published or submitted papers of chapters that are written as journal papers but not yet or even ever to be submitted. Apart from the inclusion of such materials, the journal format thesis must conform to the same standards expected for a standard thesis.

Any work submitted within the journal format thesis must be substantially different from any work which may have previously been submitted for any degree at this or any other institution.

One of the major considerations for submitting in journal format is the level of contribution that you have made to the journal papers to be included in the thesis (where published or submitted papers are used). It would be expected that you will have taken the major role in ALL aspects of production of the papers including: data acquisition, analysis and writing the paper.

As with standard doctoral/MPhil thesis, examiners should satisfy themselves that the journal format thesis meets the requirement of the doctoral degree as prescribed in the appropriate regulations and policies. The fact that a thesis contains material that has been published or accepted for publication does not guarantee that the examiner will recommend the award for which the candidate is being examined.

Approval for submission in journal format

In order to submit a thesis in journal format you should have the approval of your supervisory team. It is not necessary to request approval from the Doctoral Academy. You will be asked to indicate the format of your thesis during the examination process when completing your Notice of Submission Form.

Your supervisory team is best placed to advise on how to structure a thesis in journal format.

The work must constitute a body of publication tending towards a coherent and continuous thesis, rather than a series of disconnected publications. As such, any publications should be adapted and integrated within the structure of the thesis. Any sections of the thesis which are published or in publishable format should be clearly identified.

You should use the introductory section of the thesis to explain and justify in full the nature and extent of your contribution and the contribution of co-authors and the other collaborators to the publications presented. A significant proportion of the researched materials should be derived from original research undertaken after the date you initially registered with this University.

The number of papers included in the journal format thesis may vary according to discipline and is not prescribed, but should reflect the quantity, quality and originality of research and analysis expected of a candidate submitting a standard thesis.

The Faculty Exams Team will be able to identify PhD theses in journal format that are available in the library for your reference. Please contact [email protected]  if you require any further information.

Example structure

It is essential that the journal format thesis includes detailed and critical analysis of the work and methods used, since sections formatted for publication/dissemination may not already include this level of detail. The structure of the journal format thesis should include the following:

• rationale for submitting the thesis in an journal format and an account of how the thesis format has been constructed;
• context of the research¹ which should incorporate sections/chapters defining the rationale of the investigation and the strategy employed during the research as demonstrated in the thesis;
• review of previous research including sections summarising and synthesising previous research in the field of investigation;
• methodology detailing the methods employed during the research and a detailed critique analysis of those methods and the information they provide;
• presentation of results and their analysis in a format suitable for presentation in a peer-reviewed journal and/or in conventional thesis chapters as in the standard PhD thesis;
• summary/conclusion drawing together the various outcomes of the work into a coherent synthesis and indicating directions for future work;
• references and appendices should be included as in the standard PhD thesis.

Co-authored papers

Materials included in the journal format thesis may include those which are solely and/or partly authored by the student and may be already published, accepted for publication, or submitted for publication in externally refereed contexts such as journals and conference proceedings. You should use the introductory section of the thesis to explain and justify in full the nature and extent of the candidate's own contribution and the contribution of co-authors and other collaborators to the publications presented.

Formatting issues

Students should ensure that they have read the guidance on the presentation of a thesis which outlines how to include offprints of published material.

Students can also ask the Exams Team in the Doctoral Academy office for guidance on presentation and formatting issues. Please contact [email protected]  if you require further assistance.

The incorporation of publication-style chapters in the thesis will inevitably lead to some duplication since each publication-style chapter will have self-contained components that will overlap with parts of the other sections of the thesis. As a result, such a thesis might well be expected to be longer than a standard doctoral/MPhil thesis on the same topic.

The maximum length of the journal format doctoral thesis should not normally exceed 90,000 words of main text, including footnotes and endnotes.

The maximum length of the journal format MPhil thesis should not normally exceed 60,000 words, including footnotes and endnotes.

¹This is as expected for a standard thesis but it is essential that this format of thesis includes detailed and critical analysis of the previous work and methods used because the sections formatted for publication/dissemination may not cover these aspects in the depth expected of a PhD thesis.

Will buxton breaks down history of formula 1 in new book, ‘grand prix’.

Will Buxton is attempting to make learning the complex history of Formula 1 more accessible for race fans. The British broadcaster, who works for Formula 1, is debuting “Grand Prix: An Illustrated History of Formula 1.”

The new book, published by Ten Speed Press and Penguin Random House, is 240 pages of outstanding images that shape the history of Formula 1. What Buxton encapsulates in this book compared to others is that he delves deep into the basics of Formula 1, as well as the complexities, without scaring away new fans.

“We spitballed a few ideas, but the basis of every idea that I had was going back to the idea of educating,” Buxton, who started writing the book on his honeymoon in the Maldives, explained. “There are things that we take for granted [as motor sports experts] that maybe aren’t that obvious. When it comes to the history of the sport — one in three people have been watching the sport for five years or less, which means they never saw Sebastian Vettel in a competitive car or saw Michael Schumacher race — we take it for granted.

“How is anyone supposed to learn if you don’t open your arms and embrace them? Let me show you everything and bring you up to speed.”

In the book, there are 400-word driver profiles, which encapsulates their background, history and their success.

"Grand Prix" is an incredible summary of the history of Formula 1, written by Will Buxton.

Buxton’s stardom grew tremendously with the launch of Netflix’s “Drive to Survive,” especially in America, since 2018 as he is among the series’ leading faces.

“I never expected that the interviews would be used so much,” he said. “It’s huge, especially in the U.S. The recognition was never as large during the days I broadcast on NBC as they are now thanks to Netflix.

“I see that as the growth of Formula 1 because more people are watching Formula 1.”

Buxton grew up as a motor sports fan, watching racing on television even though no one in his family was a major race fan. When Buxton was 13, legendary F1 driver Ayrton Senna was killed and the tragedy left a lasting impression on him about the risks drivers take when they strap into a racecar. While reading “Motor Sport Magazine,” he realized he wasn’t alone in feeling the pain of losing an international hero.

From that day, all I wanted to do was tell the story of Formula 1,” Buxton said. “I set myself out to chase this crazy dream that I might one day write about Formula 1.”

His thesis at the end of his university career focused on the politics of Formula 1, which was a foreshadowing of sorts as he elaborated on this during “Drive to Survive.”

Buxton sent his piece to the editor of the now defunct “Formula 1 Magazine,” who loved it and they hired him shortly thereafter as a staff writer.

He became the press officer for the GP2 Series (now Formula 2), where he grew close with several of the current drivers on the Formula 1 grid, such as Lewis Hamilton.

Buxton “fell into television completely by mistake.” He worked three years at SPEED Channel and five years with NBC. And when Liberty Media took over Formula 1, they asked Buxton if he’d lead the charge for the organization when it comes to digital media, an opportunity he couldn’t refuse.

Now, as one of the most well-known Formula 1 experts across the globe, he hopes the new book gives fans an opportunity to learn about the history of the sport he has dedicated his life to.

“Grand Prix” is available to purchase on Amazon and via other online retailers.
