An excellent and incredibly well-researched text which will prove invaluable to those studying for this award." - Peter Smith, University of Sunderland, UK "A helpful, practical guide for anyone embarking on a PhD by publication. Excerpts from examiners and successful candidates are used successfully to illustrate personal experiences and offer a deeper insight into the process of completing such an award. In doing so, these personal stories bring a human dimension to the very serious business of completing a doctorate by publication." - Margaret Walshaw, Massey University, NZ
