re: #230 klys

It depends strongly on the field. In science, a lot of the theses are based on published work, if not directly copied and pasted from papers published.

I was being a bit literal there —- the thesis itself (e.g., all 160 pages in this case) is almost never published “as is”. Journals have page limits, after all. However, the underlying work in a thesis is most often published, since that is an effective way of demonstrating a contribution to knowledge.
