How to obtain PhD by submitting previously published work?
963520
If your publications have coauthors, you might have a problem.  If not -- you would have to talk to the people at each university.\n\nI understand that you already have the knowledge of a PhD and want to get the certification as quickly as possible.  But with 8 publications, you can get a PhD from a top school.  Even if you have to write new material, you have proven that you have the ability to do so.\n\nI have a PhD in Finance from Berkeley.  One of the people who came into the program with me was in a similar situation.  He had already published sevreal articles and had done coursework in statistics and economics elsewhere.  He took the bare minimum number of classes at Berkeley, wrote three new papers and got out in three years.  He might have been able to ge this degree in one or two years elsewhere -- but it wouldn't ahve been a Berkeley degree.

If you are a PhD student, I would suggest that you use your university's library or ask your supervising professor for guidelines. A PhD proposal has a basic structure. The writing style may differ based on the manual used (APA, MLA etc) and the content will differ based on the subject matter. You may therefore use any PhD proposal as a guide but taylor it to your specific specialization. All The Best!

usually you'd get you thesis statement from a book or something. like a critcs review on your person saying how their work is related to their life or if its not a person just do something general like 'how you can stop _____' or 'how ____ effects everyday living'.

well, first you have to be accepted to the program, and will probably be asked to do further studies. Then you write your report as a Dissertation. Often this is a 200 pg volume, OR MORE. You can't just present the report and automatically get a PhD. You have to enroll and follow the guidelines set forth by the university. However, your report can get you IN to the program.

unless you're really committed, don't do it. In my experience you have to be a bit masochistic too! I was paid to do mine (wouldn't have done it otherwise) and I really believed in the project, think long and hard before starting. Having said that, I would (probably) still do it again. I've had control over the direction of my research, something that only academia can really give you.

Oh my... <sigh> First, do you have a bachelor and masters degree?  If not, forget it.  Second, many schools will admit you for free for the PhD; however, you have to teach for them.  You should investigate this with individual schools.

A typical dissertation has a title page, an abstract, a table of contents, and a bibliography. Other components might include acknowledgements, a dedication, indexes and appendices, glossaries, lists of tables, images or figures, lists of abbreviations, and so on.\n\nThere are strict requirements for theses, including pagination, layout, type and colour of paper, order of components, and citation style, which vary from school to school. These requirements will normally be checked page by page by the accepting officer before the thesis is accepted and a receipt is issued. Dissertations which are incomplete or incorrectly formatted will not be accepted. Failure to submit the dissertation by the deadline will result in graduation (and granting of the degree) being delayed

The easiest way is to check their submission guidelines.  That will usually tell what is accepted for publication and how.

Talk to your S-1 (personnel section).  They should have plenty of copies of already submitted and approved awards.

Sure, it's possible, if you're doing something brilliant and breakthrough, but it's highly unlikely. Anything you submit to a professional academic journal is reviewed by other professionals (Ph.D.-holders) in the field. If they come across a paper or abstract by some random kid they've never heard of, they're going to pass it over real quick. If you're enrolled in a master's degree program, however, it's a different ballgame: you have connections and advice through your professors, and, of course, the power of the institutional name behind your own.\n\nMy advice to you is to read read read everything in your area of specialization you can get your hands on. Join some scholarly organizations (associations, societies) if you can (though some of these require that you're a student). Do some volunteer work. After you write the personal statement you'll be required to enclose with your grad school application, ask friends and old teachers to critique it. Then revise. If you make a good impression with the personal-statement essay and admissions thinks you're sharp and fit for the academic world, nothing else will matter.

A scientific journal (like "Science" or "Sky and Telescope"). I do suggest, however, that you let a professor read it before you submit it. Even if you have a brilliant idea, they will throw it away if it's not properly presented.

Send copies of your articles to SI.  They would be the ones to tell you if you should or shouldn't.

easy, all what you need to do is a plain paper, the module questions, and a pen. make a list of all things that you want to include in terms of issues that must be covered, and decide the books that you should use as references. then get started with an intro that is short, simple but give a brief descripton of what you want to write about then you will find yourself that you have done already a great part of the work. hope that was useful

Conventionally, you get the credit for scientific ideas if you are the first to publish them (in a refereed academic journal). If your insight is theoretical, you have to write a theoretical paper for an appropriate journal.\n\nThe trouble is, particularly now so much is already known about science, you need quite a lot of resources to check that your idea is original, to look up previous relevant work, to get somebody to look through your preliminary paper (look at the acknowledgements on the first page of most journal papers) and find the inevitable things that need tidying up etc. (I am very conscious of this because I operate as an independent researcher.) This means that you have a great advantage if you are part of a research team, e.g. in a University Department. Sadly, there are all too many problems of senior people taking over their subordinates' ideas and putting their name to papers. You just have to find a team with people who are ethical and committed to developing people's scientific careers. In most subjects, it is very rare for major projects to be undertaken, or papers written, by single individuals. If you are in a team or institution, try to document your contribution as much as possible, e.g. by writing internal research memoranda (most top notch research units have some system of internal research reports). But you won't get far if you are not prepared to co-operate as part of the team as well as having individual ideas.   \n\nIf your ideas are to have credence, they have to be testable. In most science this takes a lot of resources to do experiments. So you or your team have to apply for research grants so that you can check out your work. At least if you have to do expensive experiments to prepare for your publications, this is a barrier to other people doing them first!\n\nIn practice, the best protection against plagiarism is that scientists are busy people and simply haven't time to write a paper stealing your idea. Also, the people working on a specialised topic will tend to know each other. Anybody riping off ideas too blatantly, for instance by publishing material similar to that somebody has presented at a conference, will quickly get a bad name.\n\nMany scientists belong to Professional Associations, if not the AMA, with ethical processes, over and above the disciplinary procedures of employers who care about their reputation, which at least in theory deal with plagiarism.\n\nThere are one or two subjects, notably philosophy, where academic work is still mostly published by individuals. If you can sit in a garret somewhere and send theoretical papers off for publication without taliking to anybody along the way good luck to you! But even in philosophy the overwhelming majority of works are produced by people wh have been lucky enough to find academic jobs.
