I would like to know the main structure of this kind of thesis.
Although some guidelines can be taken from this post, additional details would be appreciated.
When building the introduction, I feel quite collapsed trying to join and describe all the aspects of the 3 published articles I have. This will be also the same for the final discussion. In fact, it makes me feel that I'm repeating myself what I've already written in the papers. I like DRY principle.
Thanks! Here is a preliminary outline:
