Challenges and Benefits of Undertaking a Three-article Dissertation

Although not a new concept, completing a dissertation in a three-article format remains relatively rare in the field of education. Discussions about completing a three-article dissertation needs to occur earlier in the students’ scope of study as it provides unique challenges for the student and dissertation committee. This synchronous workshop session provides information about three-article dissertations on the differences between a traditional and three-article dissertation, and the challenges and benefits of completing a three-article dissertation. Other topics addressed in the workshop will include topic development, foci of chapters, format of the proposal, journal selection, and publication and ethical considerations.
