Theses - Research Guide

This guide assists Murdoch University students and staff to locate, write, manage Copyright matters and submit theses.

The electronic version of Murdoch theses are accessible via the Research Portal. From September 2017, the electronic version of a Murdoch University thesis is the only official copy.

These background resources will assist students beginning their thesis:

• Getting a PhD [electronic resource] : an action plan to help manage your research, your supervisor and your project / John A. Finn
• Getting your PhD [electronic resource] : a practical insiders' guide / Harriet Churchill and Teela Sanders
• The unwritten rules of PhD research / Gordon Rugg and Marian Petre
• Beyond doctorates downunder [electronic resource] : maximising the impact of your doctorate from Australia and New Zealand / edited by Carey Denholm and Terry Evans
• How to research & write a successful PhD [electronic resource] / Kathleen McMillan & Jonathan Weyers

SAGE Research Methods (SRM) allows researchers to explore methods and concepts to help them design research projects, understand particular methods or identify a new method, conduct their research, and write up their findings. Since SRM focuses on methodology, it can be used across  disciplines.

Researchers at Murdoch University are supported by the Library and the Research and Innovation Directorate.
