In this episode, we discuss the difference between a paper-based thesis and a long-book thesis. We look at some of the differences in expectations for the doctoral thesis internationally, and discuss the link between these differences between countries and how the doctoral trajectory is considered: as the time for junior researcher to work, or as an apprenticeship.

We then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the paper-based and the long-book thesis. Finally, we look at Eva's experience writing a long-book thesis, the time it takes to write and edit a thesis, and the skills one learns during the writing of journal articles and writing of a long-book thesis.
