The Unwritten Rules of PhD Research provides friendly and realistic advice on completing your doctorate. This updated edition guides you through the basics of PhD research, covering aspects that often go unmentioned in other books.
Learn how to decipher what your supervisor means by terms like 'good referencing' and 'clean research question', design, report, and defend your research, and avoid common pitfalls along the way. The authors offer down-to-earth advice on topics such as thinking about your career from the outset, networking for research success, and using social media in your research.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone considering a PhD, embarking on one, or stuck in the middle and unsure where to turn. It will provide you with practical guidance and insights into the PhD process, helping you navigate the often-unspoken rules of successful research.
