Good area of study

Well Done, taikor.

SO u will public 3 papers as part of the graduation requirement?

in my uni that i am currently attached to, publication is not the requirement for graduation.

So i need to write a 200 pages thesis first, after submission and pending review/ Viva, i can split them up to 2-3 publications. most likely i will split them one qualitative paper, another one quantitative.

Both ways (your way or my way) are workable. Your way seems more systematic, as each publication only require max 30 pages, so it should be easier to handle.

We only have 2 mode of PhD.

1) PhD by publication, at least 2 papers goes to Tier A in the university approved list, must be high impact journal.
Most academic staffs also not able to publish in these categories of journal

2) PhD by thesis, traditional way of 5 chapters thesis. If we choose the option 2, the supervisor can only encourage the student to publish but not forcing. A supervisor get warning letter from the uni, as forcing few of his students to publish.
