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.

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.
Current Students ANU College of Health & Medicine ANU College of Science
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).

HDR Program
Higher degree research program.
This page sets out the opportunities for, and distinctive features of, research training in the ANU Centre for Social Research & Methods (CSRM)
Degree Programs
The ANU Centre for Social Research & Methods offers a higher degree research programs, the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The PhD requires a minimum of three years of study and students are required to submit a thesis. For more detailed information about entry requirements for the PhD program, please refer to the College Higher Degree by Research (HDR) applications website .
Teaching Researchers
Our graduate training program enables students to undertake an in-depth research project at postgraduate level under the close supervision of academic staff. The ANU Centre for Social Research & Methods provides a supportive environment and programmes that encourages new modes of research while also supporting traditional scholarly methods of inquiry.
The key element of our graduate program is its intense focus on the unique research-led education culture at the ANU. Our guiding assumption is that the best way to produce academic researchers is to incorporate them into a culture of academic research. This research culture is made possible by two things in particular: the culture of interdisciplinary discussion and debate within the Centre, and the culture of the ANU, with its focus on research-led education. Some elements of our research culture include our weekly CSRM research seminars, a candidate seminar series where students can present their progress in a friendly and supportive environment, an annual PhD student retreat, and the presence of a large number of academics and campus visitors form a wide variety of disciplines and research interests.
The strong expectation of CSRM is that students will take an active role in this research culture, such as attend the weekly research seminars.umbent on applicants to identify and contact potential HDR supervisors. We encourage applicants to view the research profiles of the School’s faculty to identify supervisors who work in the area of the students’ interest. Visit this page to view all the members of faculty. Once an applicant has identified a potential supervisor, the applicant should contact the supervisor via email, stating that they are interested in HDR studies, outlining their area of interest and proposed topic, and asking whether the faculty member is willing to supervise them. If an applicant is unsure about how to contact a potential supervisor they should contact the HDR Convenor via [email protected]
Research Funding
HDR students are entitled to a fixed amount of funding to support their research. Funding may be used for fieldwork, to attend academic conferences and other presentations, or other research activities as approved. Applications for funding must express a clear statement of the purpose and a rationale for the funding. Applications should be developed in consultation with the principal supervisor and approved by the principal supervisor and the HDR Convenor.
HDR Progression
Upon matriculation into a PhD with the ANU Centre for Social Research & Methods students will be invited to the annual HDR Induction run by the college. The induction will welcome students to the College of Arts & Social Sciences and to the University, and familiarise students with their opportunities and responsibilities. The Induction usually occurs during March. CSRM runs a separate retreat and other social events within the Centre, to allow new students to meet the other students, faculty and support staff who comprise the centre community.
Once students commence their HDR program, the University requires the successful completion a series of progress milestones, which you can read about these in more depth here . The key program milestones are outlined below.
All HDR candidates in the ANU Centre for Social Research & Methods are required to undertake courses at the post graduate level. Successful completion of 48 unites is required for confirmation of candidature. Candidates in the Centre are required to enrol in the following courses:
| Course 1: Introduction to Social Science Methods and Types of Data (6 units) Course 2: Social Research Practice (6 units) Course 3: CSRM Thesis Design (12 units)
|
| Two SOCR courses from the as agreed with the Chair/ Primary Supervisor (12 units)
|
The remaining 12 units must come from 8000/9000 level and be agreed by the Chair/Primary Supervisor.
More information on these courses can be found on Programs and Courses (or simply click on the links above) and on the CASS website .
The Thesis Proposal Review (TPR)
In accordance with university rules, students must complete a thesis proposal, to be reviewed and approved by their supervisory panel and presented to the Centre’s academic staff, before the end of the first year of full-time study. The TPR is a comprehensive review of a student’s plans for their dissertation and their ability to carry out this plan. The review indicates the subject of the proposed research, the methodology to be employed, an analysis of the relevant literature on this topic, a description of how the proposed research will make an original contribution to the field of study and where relevant, outline the fieldwork required or undertaken.
The chair of the committee will then write a report summarising the comments and making a recommendation on the progress of the student.
The Final Review
In the final year (typically 3 and 6 months before the planned thesis submission) students must present a final seminar on their research. Students present an overview of the research and discuss its significance and outcomes. The presentation includes the major objectives, content, results, and conclusions of the work, allowing the candidate to demonstrate their work has an appropriate research focus, argument, and depth and contribution of knowledge.
Office Space
Given our strong on-campus research culture the ANU Centre for Social Research & Methods provides shared office space for all HDR students to facilitate their presence on campus.

Guideline : Higher degree by research - examiners’ reports recommendations
To provide a guide for staff in recommending the outcome of a thesis examination process.
- Where all examiner’s reports are consistent in their recommendations the Delegated Authority will provide a recommendation to the Associate Dean consistent with those reports.
- Where examiner’s reports differ in their recommendations it is necessary for the Delegated Authority, with additional academic input and support where appropriate, to consider the basis for the different recommendations, and provide a recommendation to the Associate Dean.
- In cases where the examiner’s reports differ the least favourable recommendation is the starting point. For example, where recommendations differ between a candidate being granted the award, granted the award with minor corrections or revisions, and revise and resubmit, the first consideration is the arguments and basis for the ‘revise and resubmit’ recommendation.
- There are two types of variations:
- Minor variations in reports occur where the examiners differ between recommending that the candidate be granted the award and recommending the candidate be granted the award subject to minor corrections.
- Divergent reports occur where there are differences between the reports that are not minor variations.
Minor v ariation
- Where minor variation exists in reports, these can generally be considered by the Delegated Authority in providing a recommendation and explanation to the Associate Dean.
- Every effort must be made to ensure the consideration of three rather than two examiners in the examination process in cases where there is not a clear recommendation from the examiners.
- In some instances, reports where the comments included are generally consistent may vary between indicating that the candidate be granted the award subject to corrections or revisions, and a revised thesis be submitted for re-examination. In this instance, it is possible that the Delegated Authority can present a recommendation to the Associate Dean that is generally consistent with the reports without undertaking the steps outlined in clause 10.
- Where the previous clause does not apply, a more rigorous review is undertaken of the substance and basis for the different recommendations in the examiners’ reports.
- In no circumstances is one report dismissed and a decision made only on the other reports that have been received.
- Potential actions to resolve divergence include but are not limited to:
- W here two examiner’s reports were received, an additional examiner may be appointed to provide breadth of expertise in coming to a resolution. The appointment of an additional examiner is by the Associate Dean on the recommendation of the Delegated Authority;
- ‘a’ does not restrict the appointment of an additional examiner in circumstances where three or more examiner’s reports have been received ;
- The constitution of a Committee comprising the Delegated Authority and two additional staff of the University with relevant expertise, not including the primary supervisor, to consider the reports in conjunction with the thesis;
- Discussion with the Head of Department or school where they may be able to provide further expertise, disciplinary or otherwise;
- Requiring an oral examination be undertaken as detailed in the Higher Degree by Research Submission and Examination Procedure .
- Where there is a recommendation of fail in divergent reports clause 10(c) is mandatory, in addition to other actions that may be taken.
- Where a committee is constituted, there are a number of points of reference that the Committee can take into consideration in recommending an outcome. No single point of reference should be relied upon, as it is the interaction of these elements that assist in providing a recommendation. These points of reference can include but are not limited to:
- The quality of the examiner’s reports that have been received. Is there clear evidence of a thorough reading of the thesis, with factually correct statements and the basis for identified weaknesses explained?
- How many examiner’s reports have been received? If there is an outlying report, is it the result of disciplinary expertise exclusive to that examiner, or what alternatively is a reasonable explanation for the discrepancy? If an interdisciplinary thesis, is some of the information in the examiner’s report outside of or tangential to the examiner’s discipline?
- A written statement from the primary supervisor or supervisory panel on the examiner’s reports. Whilst the primary supervisor or panel cannot make a recommendation as to the outcome, they can comment on the quality and content of the examiner’s reports and provide further disciplinary expertise that can be used to inform the decision.
- Further clarification from the examiners as to the intent or meaning of particular points of their report and the emphasis to be placed on these aspects.
Recommendation to the Associate Dean
- The recommendation provided to the Associate Dean by the Delegated Authority includes a written explanation of how the recommendation has been reached, be it through a Committee process or otherwise. This assists in the timely consideration of the recommendation and in cases where a candidate may appeal the decision.
- In any instance where the Delegated Authority recommends a fail and not all examiners’ reports recommend a fail the candidate must be offered a further examination opportunity in accordance with the Research Awards Rule.
- The Associate Dean has ultimate responsibility for approving the award of the degree. As the approval authority, the Associate Dean may determine a different outcome to that of the recommendation of the Delegated Authority, or ask the Delegated Authority to undertake further work in arriving at a recommendation. This may occur in circumstances where appropriate weight has not been given to one or more examiner’s reports, or appropriate work has not been undertaken to explain or resolve divergence between reports.
- Where there has been divergence between the reports, on approving an outcome the Associate Dean provides a record of the outcome and the documentation used to arrive at the outcome to be recorded in the eForm.
- Where the Associate Dean approves a fail outcome, they notify the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Graduate Research) of the decision and associated documentation used to arrive at the decision.
