anu thesis college recommendation

All Australian National University theses are in digital form. You can search for them online through the  theses collection in ANU Open Research , and are also searchable via the  Library Catalogue .

The majority of ANU theses are openly accessible but a small number are restricted due to cultural sensitivities, copyright controls or other restrictions.

Digital theses

Digital theses can be searched online through the  theses collection in ANU Open Research .

The Australian National University Library’s theses collection holds the research output of the University’s academic community over the last 60 years. The first ANU thesis was awarded in 1953.

By digitising its print theses collection, ANU Library delivers the University’s unique and original research in a freely available, open access online collection. Digital delivery expands engagement with the Library’s collections, provides visibility to the university’s scholarship, and supports the careers of its academic community.

Restrictions

The majority of theses are openly accessible; however, some may not be available under open access conditions due to author or copyright restrictions.

If an author wishes to restrict access to their thesis (or part of it), they can elect to do so as part of the online submission process. If after 12 months an extension to that restriction is required, a new application must be completed.

In the case of a Higher Degree by Research thesis, approval is required from the Dean, Higher Degree Research and can be sought by filling out an  Extension of Thesis Restriction of Access Request Form  or emailing  [email protected] . If approved, the Open Research team will be notified and restrict access to the online version of your thesis in line with the decision made.

Read our  Restriction Infosheet  for more information about applying for restrictions on theses.

Hard copy theses

Hard copy theses can be requested  for reading within the Library, but cannot be borrowed.

The majority of theses are available for research or study, however some may not be available due to author or copyright restrictions.

To check whether access restrictions apply to a particular thesis, ask at the  Menzies Library  Information Desk or email the  ANU Library .

Non-ANU readers are advised to check in advance whether they will be granted access to a particular thesis.

Hdr examination process, degree level.

The College of Science (CoS), and the College of Health and Medicine (CHM) guidelines on HDR examinations aim to ensure high quality, independent and timely examination of HDR theses. This document sets out the conditions for examinations and appointment of examiners and should be read in conjunction with the  Research Awards Rule  and the  ANU HDR policies and procedures  relating to examinations. 

The Notification of Intent to Submit (NoI) eForm should be completed by the candidate at least three months prior to their intended submission date. The eForm will be available via ISIS MMD-HDR.

Further information and assistance can be found  online .

Nomination of Examiners

Following submission of the NoI eForm the Primary Supervisor will receive a notification to complete the Nomination of Examiners (NoE) eForm.

• Candidates are given the opportunity to recommend potential examiners via the eForm, but the candidate must not know the names of the final examiners chosen.
• It is a requirement of the examination that no fewer than two external expert examiners of international standing are appointed. 
• Within CHM/CoS the expectation for a PhD examination is that at least one of the two external expert examiners is an international academic a . If no international examiners are appointed, the Delegated Authority must provide a justification when submitting the NoE e-form to the Associate Dean (HDR) for approval.
• Whether two or three examiners are appointed is at the discretion of the School.
• The examiners are to be appointed before the thesis is submitted to minimise delays in the examination process.
• The examiners must be made aware of the expectation to provide the report within two months.
• The examiners should not have been involved with the project and should not have recently (within five years) published or closely collaborated with the candidate or members of the supervisory panel b .
• All examiners should be experts in the topic of the thesis (or in different aspects of an interdisciplinary or multi-faceted thesis).
• At least one examiner should have significant expertise in supervising PhD students and in examining theses.
• When submitting a NoE eForm, the supervisor should attach a short CV or biosketch for each nominated examiner, which highlights why they are suitable to examine the thesis. A link to a url is sufficient, however the e-form will be returned to the Delegated Authority if insufficient information about the proposed examiners expertise is made available.

Initial Examination

• The HDR Examinations Officer (GRO) will monitor the length of the examination and be in contact with the Delegated Authority if there are delays beyond 2 months.
• The Delegated Authority may need to consider appointing an additional examiner.

Prohibited Communications

• The candidate, member of the supervisory panel or school administrators MUST not communicate directly with an examiner during the course of the examination to discuss the examination process.

Delegated Authority Recommendation on Receipt of Reports

• Under no circumstances are the examiners’ recommendations to be provided to the candidate by the School. The HDR Examinations Office (GRO) will send an anonymous version of the reports to the candidate once the recommendation has been approved.
• If an examiner makes any statement in their report that questions the integrity of the thesis (plagiarism, other forms of misconduct), the School must immediately notify the College.
• A recommendation on the outcome of the examination can only be made once all examiners reports have been received. In the event that an examiner takes more than two months to respond the Delegated Authority within the School should contact the examiner to ask for the intended date of submission of the report, and/or to give the examiner an opportunity to withdraw from the examination.
• In cases where there is less than two examiner reports available the School must appoint a new examiner.
• In cases where the recommendations of the examiners are divergent, the Delegated Authority should follow the divergent examiners report procedure, as detailed in the  HDR - examiners reports recommendations  guideline and provide a justification for their recommendation. In cases of significant disparity an additional examiner should be appointed. 

College Approval

• The examiners make a recommendation to the University; the Deputy Dean (Education) determines the outcome of the examination.
• The College may require amendments to the thesis before award of the degree if the examiners note typographical or other minor errors, even in cases where the examiners have recommended unconditional award.

Response to Examiners Comments

• When a candidate is required to undertake revisions to the satisfaction of the Delegated Authority, it is a CHM/CoS requirement that they provide a document outlining the revisions made in response to the examiners comments when submitting the revised thesis for approval by the College Deputy Dean (Education).

a  There is no requirement for an international examiner, although the examiners should still be of international standing for an MPhil or DPsych examination.

b  If there has been a recent collaboration or publication between a nominated examiner and a supervisor or candidate, a statement justifying the nomination and addressing the potential conflict of interest must be provided for consideration by the College Deputy Dean (Education).

P rocedure: Higher degree by research - candidature progression

To outline the progression indicators, including milestones, which are component aspects for successful candidature and timely completion.

• This document should be read in conjunction with the Research Awards Rule , and the Higher Degree Research Candidature policy and procedures .
• Progression indicators track the progress of a candidate, and include:
• Milestones;
• A ttendance;
• Compliance with reasonable instructions from their supervisory panel;
• Maintaining regular contact with their supervisory panel;
• Ethics approvals;
• Work, Health and Safety requirements;
• Appropriate publications for 'Thesis by Compilation’ submissions
• Candidates are required to satisfactorily complete milestones by the due dates to progress in their Higher Degree by Research (HDR) program.
• Milestones are formally documented by the University on a candidate’s record.
• The timeframes specified in this procedure may be varied by the Delegated Authority according to the circumstances.
• HDR candidates continue to submit an annual report and annual plan at a minimum every 12 months until thesis submission, or termination of program.
• HDR candidates may apply for an extension of their program prior to their maximum submission date (192 units FTE PhD; 96 units FTE MPhil).

Non-completion of milestones

• The Delegated Authority monitors milestones and determines eligibility for ongoing candidature where milestones remain outstanding for 3 months or more.
• Unsatisfactory completion or non-completion of milestones are grounds for the Delegated Authority to enforce a supplementary milestone, explore changes to project and/or supervisory panel members, suggest a transfer from a Doctor of Philosophy to a Master of Philosophy or recommend to the Associate Dean termination from the program.
• A Delegated Authority may determine a thesis not be accepted for examination if a progress indicator has not been completed.
• Applications for extension may not be considered if milestones are outstanding or unsatisfactorily completed, unless the Delegated Authority approves otherwise due to extenuating circumstances.
• If a candidate fails the Research Integrity Training twice, the eForm will pass to the Chair of Panel along with a list of questions the student failed. The Chair is to meet with the candidate to discuss the principles of the code (using the eForm as a guide) and complete the milestone eForm .
• Non-completion or unsatisfactory progress may have an impact on the Conditions of Award for scholarships.

Table 1: Progression Indicators; Mandatory unless otherwise specified

Each candidate can be provided with an individualised template plan of milestones on commencement. Further information regarding the progression indicator and templates available online at: https://www.anu.edu.au/students/program-administration/assessments-exams/research-student-milestones .

Footnote 1 Clause 6 allows the Delegated Authority to vary timeframes, such as in instances where mandatory coursework is required.

Footnote 2 In the event of unsatisfactory completion, or non-completion of milestones the Delegated Authority may apply Clause 10 conditions above

Footnote 3 Completion of milestones during part time intensity are expected within the same timeframe as full time intensity (i.e. annually).

Footnote 4 Annual Report (AR) and Annual Plan (AP) milestones continue annually until submission.

CBE PhD Thesis by Compilation Guideline

1. introduction.

This Guideline details the College of Business and Economics’ (CBE’s) requirements for a thesis by compilation and the process that PhD candidates must follow when applying to submit one. 1  The Guideline should be read carefully in conjunction with:

• Research Award Rules (2021) ;
• Procedure: Higher degree by research - submission and examination of theses ; and
• Procedure: Higher degree by research - thesis by compilation and thesis by creative works .

As well as reading the Guideline and associated materials, PhD candidates wishing to submit a thesis by compilation:

• Should discuss this intention with their supervisors and School HDR Convenors as early in their candidature as possible; and
• Must follow the process outlined in this Guideline to apply to the CBE Delegated Authority for permission to do so. Unless in receipt of this approval, PhD candidates will be required to submit a standard format thesis.

Importantly, submitting a standard format thesis does not preclude PhD candidates from organizing the thesis into a multiple-study/essay structure.

2. Structure and Content of a Thesis by Compilation

A thesis by compilation submitted by any CBE PhD candidate must comprise no less than three (3) peer-reviewed journal articles that have been researched and written during the course of the candidature. These publications must revolve around a central theme and be presented in a cohesive manner. Taken together, these requirements mean that, in addition to its constituent papers, a thesis by compilation must include:

a.  An introduction to the field of study and the hypothesis or research questions of the thesis, how these are addressed through the constituent papers, and a general account of the theory and methodological components of the research; b.  Linking text to establish the relationship between one paper and the next, such as through a foreword to each paper; and c.  A conclusion that draws together the published papers in a cohesive manner, addresses how the individual publications link to the theory and methodology adopted and evaluates the contribution that the research makes to the advancement of the research area. 

3. Requirements of a Thesis by Compilation

The collective scope and quality of the research included in a thesis by compilation must be commensurate with that presented in a standard format thesis. Importantly:

• At least two (2) of the minimum of three (3) papers required in a thesis by compilation must have either been published, or accepted for publication, in an A- or A*-ranked journals at the time of the candidates’ application to submit their thesis in this format; 2,3   
• The publications included in a thesis by compilation can be either single-authored or co-authored;
• In the case of co-authored paper/s, the number of co-authors included must be sensible for the discipline. Moreover, the CBE PhD candidate must: be the lead author; have contributed significantly to the writing of the paper/s; and provide a statement clearly detailing the nature and extent of their contribution to each co-authored paper/s that, wherever possible, is signed by all co-authors. The Statement of Contribution Template may prove helpful in preparing this statement, a copy of which is available at the link included in the Application and Approval Process section; and
• All papers submitted in a thesis by compilation must comply with the ANU policies  Responsible Conduct of Research  and  Code of Research Conduct .

4. Application and Approval Process

As noted previously, PhD candidates should discuss their wish to submit a thesis by compilation with their supervisors and School HDR Convenors as early in their candidature as possible. At the latest, this should happen before their Thesis Proposal Review. This will allow candidates to develop a realistic research plan that takes into account the (often lengthy) peer-review and publication process.

PhD candidates must also obtain endorsement from their supervisory panel and approval from the CBE Director of HDR as the Delegated Authority to submit a thesis by compilation.  They must do this no less than 6 months prior to submission. The application requires candidates to:

a.  Complete the Thesis by Compilation Statement of Contribution ( a template is available here ) for each of the co-authored papers, detailing the extent of the contribution of the candidate to developing the research questions, creation and collection of data, analysis and interpretation of the data and to the writing of the paper; b.  Have the Statement signed by all co-authors of the papers and endorsed by the supervisors; and  c.  Apply to change their thesis format via  Manage My Degree eForms  through ISIS. Candidates should read  the application process here  before they proceed.

In reviewing an application to submit a thesis by compilation, the CBE Delegated Authority will take into account relevant University HDR Policies / Procedures and the CBE requirements set in this Guideline. Wherever necessary, the CBE Delegated Authority may also request further information from the candidates and supervisors.

5. Publishers’ Agreements

PhD candidates wishing to submit a thesis by compilation need to ensure publishers’ agreements do not preclude the inclusion of the published work in their thesis. They need to do this before submission. Please see  here  for further information. For any questions, please contact: 

ANU Copyright Officer: Roxanne Missingham T: 02 6125 2003 E:  [email protected]

6. Thesis Submission and Examination 

The submission and examination procedures for a thesis by compilation are the same as those for a standard format thesis and are detailed in ANU HDR thesis submission and examination policies and procedures.

1  Only in exceptional circumstances will approval be given to a candidate for a Master of Philosophy or Professional Doctorate to submit a thesis by compilation.

2  In the case of business and economics publications, A and A* journals are as defined by the Australian Business Deans Council List. For other publications, journal rankings are determined with reference to Thomson Reuters Impact Factors, with the top 5% of outlets in the discipline nominated by Thomson Reuters regarded as A* and the next 20% regarded as A.

3  This requirement ensures that the quality of the research conducted by candidates is commensurate with that expected of the unitary PhD business and economic disciplines, and to reduce examiners’ potential concerns about the rigour of journals’ peer-review processes.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

This study illustrates the spatio-temporal dynamics of urban growth and land use changes in Samara city, Russia from 1975 to 2015. Landsat satellite imageries of five different time periods from 1975 to 2015 were acquired and quantify the changes with the help of ArcGIS 10.1 Software. By applying classification methods to the satellite images four main types of land use were extracted: water, built-up, forest and grassland. Then, the area coverage for all the land use types at different points in time were measured and coupled with population data. The results demonstrate that, over the entire study period, population was increased from 1146 thousand people to 1244 thousand from 1975 to 1990 but later on first reduce and then increase again, now 1173 thousand population. Builtup area is also change according to population. The present study revealed an increase in built-up by 37.01% from 1975 to 1995, than reduce -88.83% till 2005 and an increase by 39.16% from 2005 to 2015, along w...

Land use/Cover Change in Russia within the context of global challenges. The paper presents the results of a research project on Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) in Russia in relations with global problems (climate change, environment and biodiversity degradation). The research was carried out at the Faculty of Geography, Moscow State University on the basis of the combination of remote sensing and in-field data of different spatial and temporal resolution. The original methodology of present-day landscape interpretation for land cover change study has been used. In Russia the major driver of land use/land cover change is agriculture. About twenty years ago the reforms of Russian agriculture were started. Agricultural lands in many regions were dramatically impacted by changed management practices, resulted in accelerated erosion and reduced biodiversity. Between the natural factors that shape agriculture in Russia, climate is the most important one. The study of long-term and short-ter...

Annals of The Association of American Geographers

Land use and land cover change is a complex process, driven by both natural and anthropogenic transformations (Fig. 1). In Russia, the major driver of land use / land cover change is agriculture. It has taken centuries of farming to create the existing spatial distribution of agricultural lands. Modernization of Russian agriculture started fifteen years ago. It has brought little change in land cover, except in the regions with marginal agriculture, where many fields were abandoned. However, in some regions, agricultural lands were dramatically impacted by changed management practices, resulting in accelerating erosion and reduced biodiversity. In other regions, federal support and private investments in the agricultural sector, especially those made by major oil and financial companies, has resulted in a certain land recovery. Between the natural factors that shape the agriculture in Russia, climate is the most important one. In the North European and most of the Asian part of the ...

In recent decades, Russia has experienced substantial transformations in agricultural land tenure. Post-Soviet reforms have shaped land distribution patterns but the impacts of these on agricultural use of land remain under-investigated. On a regional scale, there is still a knowledge gap in terms of knowing to what extent the variations in the compositions of agricultural land funds may be explained by changes in the acreage of other land categories. Using a case analysis of 82 of Russia’s territories from 2010 to 2018, the authors attempted to study the structural variations by picturing the compositions of regional land funds and mapping agricultural land distributions based on ranking “land activity”. Correlation analysis of centered log-ratio transformed compositional data revealed that in agriculture-oriented regions, the proportion of cropland was depressed by agriculture-to-urban and agriculture-to-industry land loss. In urbanized territories, the compositions of agricultura...

Despite harsh climate, agriculture on the northern margins of Russia still remains the backbone of food security. Historically, in both regions studied in this article – the Republic of Karelia and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) – agricultural activities as dairy farming and even cropping were well adapted to local conditions including traditional activities such as horse breeding typical for Yakutia. Using three different sources of information – official statistics, expert interviews, and field observations – allowed us to draw a conclusion that there are both similarities and differences in agricultural development and land use of these two studied regions. The differences arise from agro-climate conditions, settlement history, specialization, and spatial pattern of economy. In both regions, farming is concentrated within the areas with most suitable natural conditions. Yet, even there, agricultural land use is shrinking, especially in Karelia. Both regions are prone to being af...

PhD & MPhil Study Options

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Full-time Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) students normally spend a minimum of three years at ANU, while part-time students spend up to six years. Candidates are normally required to submit a thesis of no more than 100,000 words and must meet the internationally recognised standard for the degree in the relevant discipline.

Master of Philosophy (MPhil)

Degrees of Master of Philosophy (MPhil) are designed for students who require an advanced research qualification, but who want a shorter degree program than the PhD. The MPhil program is offered on a full-time and part-time basis. It usually takes students between one and two years full-time, or between two and four years part-time, to complete.  Candidates are normally required to submit a thesis of no more than 60,000 words and must meet the internationally recognised standard for the degree in the relevant discipline.

CASS requires research students to complete coursework as part of their degree. This will include training on research methods, ethics and other topics as deemed appropriate by your supervisory panel.

Finding a supervisor

Identifying a potential primary supervisor is an important part of your graduate research application. Browse the ANU Researchers database to find and contact a potential supervisor to support your application. In most cases the School or Centre location of your potential supervisor will determine which School or Centre within CASS you will reside in. Please note, that once you have found a potential supervisor, any offer of supervision will be subject to you being formally offered admission to the program and meeting any conditions (if applicable).

In this article we examine anti-Semitism as expressed by a sample of residents of the Moscow Oblast (Soviet Union). Based on a survey conducted in 1920, we begin by describing anti-Jewish prejudice and support for official discrimination against Jews. We discover a surprisingly low level of expressed anti-Semitism among these Soviet respondents and virtually no support for state policies that discriminate against Jews. At the same time, many of the conventional hypotheses predicting anti-Semitism are supported in the Soviet case. Anti-Semitism is concentrated among those with lower levels of education, those whose personal financial condition is deteriorating, and those who oppose further democratization of the Soviet Union. We do not take these findings as evidence that anti-Semitism is a trivial problem in the Soviet Union but, rather, suggest that efforts to combat anti-Jewish movements would likely receive considerable support from ordinary Soviet people.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.
