Hi
I am submitting in 21 days and it is all looking good after an abominable 18 month delay due to illness and family matters.
I am concerned about the length of my thesis. It is a European style thesis with 5 separate studies, each in publishable format with a general intro. and discussion which are quite brief (5000) each.
My entire thesis is around 60 000 words, my supervisor is a guru in our field and 'knows' this is fine. I am the worried one.
It is very stats intensive with structural equation modelling and hierarchical regression analysis for every study and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) for one, which apparently is why it is brief. It is in the field of cognitive neuropsychology/neuroscience. Can anyone reassure me about the length of my thesis?
Many thanks
PN
Sorry, I can't reassure you but I was going to post the same question about thesis length - and i am submitting in about three weeks too.
Mine's in humanities and a quick word count is putting it at about 60,000. However, I do have a lot of stuff in spreadsheets which is difficult to count.
