      (2) In the case of a change from a doctoral degree to a master’s degree, the research work published by the student at the doctoral level is considered as the publication of research work at the master’s level, according to the conditions for completing the master’s degree program.

4. In the case that a research article submitted for the purpose of degree completion fulfillment has been accepted for dissemination in a national or international academic journal or publication, when the publication is due, as stated in the letter of acceptance, the student shall do the following. [Notification, BE 2567 (2024)]
