The UQ Graduate School Thesis preparation page defines the thesis types that include publications, such as submitting a thesis entirely comprised of publications and submitting a thesis partly comprised of publications.

If you are after an example of a PhD partly comprised of publications follow this link to the eSpace record: Physical Activity, Sedentary Time and Blood Glucose in Australian Adults (by Neville Owen). We will be on the look out for more examples to share with you.

To find UQ, Australian and international theses, both online and print go to the UQ Library page http://www.library.uq.edu.au/catalogue/theses.html
