Even after you've passed your viva, you will continue to find gaps in your literature review.
More importantly, you have to cite your external examiners' papers as many as possible... This is the rule of the game.
TreeofLife has a good point. You need to repair damages now...
Your supervisor may not write very positive of you in letter of recommendation etc.
Your supervisor may not be simply "very unhappy".
First, he should feel confident that you are on the right track.
Second, he should be happy that two papers are published.
Third, his name is included as co-author. (Some students even published papers without including the supervisor; it may be acceptable depending on the subject disciplines.)
The question is whether the paper is accepted with major or minor revision, and whether there is a deadline for the revision.
Meanwhile, you could explain that you need to graduate or work soon... just some personal reasons...
The fact is one PhD candidate had 3 papers published with 80 citations...
However, he was recommended "resubmit".
It was shared in this forum last year.
Sometimes, we need to show off. Sometimes, we should hide some publications.
Whether humanities or social sciences and physical sciences, there are crooks and liars...
One PhD student had a 3-year old paper with 45 citations.
However, he was recommended "revise and re-submit".
I also had 3 papers published. But I only submitted 1 paper with the thesis.
It depends on the maturity of internal examiner...
However, it can still be dangerous if someone is *jealous* of your publications.
Be humble...
There are already many good advices...
Just add one more point: nice supervisor may not always be a good bet. This supervisor may not be able to defend you in certain situations.
Inexperienced supervisors may give you wrong advice and you may have *very major* revisions for your thesis later. In addition, your papers could be rejected for publications...
In a sense, the examiner is also punishing himself/herself for the multiple corrections/admin work or wasting time together...
It is only a student's thesis. Would the academic read? Maybe more of future PhD students are interested.
For example, Freeman Dyson enrolled in the University of Cambridge, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics.
He is now a physics professor, but he did not have a master or PhD in physics.
My university will use certain software to check for self-plagiarism.
It depends on your university... ...
