Summary
I will show you a dissertation with a layout that may be worth considering. Some aspects of the presentation are in line with those emphasized in this book. That is a dissertation (by Christopher James Clark, published 2009) at the University of California, Berkeley. Excerpts are presented on the following pages, with comments.
At the time the dissertation was filed, that is, submitted to the Graduate Division at Berkeley, two chapters were published as articles, the third was in revision by the author, and the fourth had been submitted for publication.
Sorry to say, the author was not allowed to orally defend his dissertation, because Berkeley seems to be unique in having no dissertation defense. Actually, for papers still in manuscript, an author could benefit from feedback during a defense process when making the final revisions of the articles before submission for publication.
