  What is the difference between a full PhD and a PhD by Published works?  

  ​The key difference between a conventional PhD and a PhD by Published Works is the method of obtaining the degree. A PhD by Published Works offers a condensed, part-time route tailored for individuals who have amassed significant research over time. Such candidates possess a collection of published works stemming from their research, which are recognized in esteemed venues or scholarly journals.

  Conversely, a traditional PhD, also known as a full PhD, adheres to the standard path of doctoral education. It spans various fields of study. Earning a full PhD entails conducting original, independent research. The zenith of this academic endeavor is the development of a detailed thesis that presents the research outcomes and the scholar’s contributions to their field.
