A doctoral dissertation in a collection of articles in the School of Social Work will be written in accordance with the guidelines of the Research Students' Authority (see here), in addition to the following rules:
1) One article (at least) must be published or accepted for publication in a journal with scientific judgment.
Clarification regarding a chapter in a book: One of the chapters of the collection can be a chapter in an edited book, but it must be a chapter of a research nature (as opposed to a chapter that is only a review, which can not be included - just as a review article published in a journal in light of PA rules). However, a chapter in the book does not fulfill the school's requirement for an article published / accepted for publication, in the absence of peer review, and will therefore be in addition to an article published / accepted for publication in a journal with scientific judgment.
2) One article (at least) should belong to the student as a single author.
3) Article(s) in Hebrew and English may be included in the same collection, but at least one of the three articles must be written in English.
Clarification regarding language integration: When there is an intention to combine articles in two languages, the research students should be contacted and informed about it and the academic reason for this decision (such as the intention to publish one of the articles in Hebrew), in order to obtain formal approval. The introductory and discussion chapters of the collection should be written in the language in which most of the articles were written.
In special cases where difficulties arise around these rules, the doctoral committee should be contacted (maayan.davidov@mail.huji.ac.il).
