(3) Thesis in the Format of Published Papers
The University of Malaya permits the presentation of thesis for the
Doctoral degree in the format of published and/or submitted papers,
where such papers have been published or accepted by high impact
journals (e.g.: ISI journals) during the period of candidature.

Papers submitted as a Ph.D thesis must be based on a particular theme or
focus and form a cohesive research write up.

The quality of a thesis by published papers should be in accordance with
Ph.D-level research.

The guidelines for the format by published papers are as follows:
(a) The theses may comprise published papers and/or manuscripts
accepted for publication by high impact journals (e.g. ISI journals). The
papers should be published or accepted for publication during the
period of candidature.
(b) The minimum number of papers and/or manuscripts is normally three
(3). However, in some disciplines a larger number of papers is required
to meet the expectations of scope and quality in accordance with Ph.D-

level research. For Doctor of Philosophy by Prior Publication mode, the
minimum number of published works is at least five (5) and these
works must be those published within a period not exceeding 10 years
prior to the date of submission of thesis.
(c) Where the papers have more than one writer, the candidate must be the
main writer of at least two out of three papers. For Doctor of

Philosophy by Prior Publication mode, the candidate should be the
primary author of four (4) of the published works submitted.
