In line with current academic practices, the IIIEE PhD thesis, when taking the style of collection of academic articles supplemented by a “kappa”, requires the inclusion of minimum 4 to 5 academic articles. These articles should together be able to demonstrate your academic capacity to carry out your research independently, from its design to analysis and writing. As a way of demonstrate your capacity and contribution, you should write how you contribute to the development of each article, which should be agreed upon by you, your supervisors and co-authors.
