This thesis examines the guidelines for including publications in a thesis. It discusses including 2-8 papers as sole or joint authorship, with each paper forming a chapter. The papers do not need to be presented chronologically as long as the overall research is presented coherently. The thesis must be under 100,000 words and follow authorship protocols. Papers can include book chapters, conference proceedings, journal articles, and prepared manuscripts. The thesis should include sections like the introduction, conclusions, bibliography/references, and appendices. It must also include declarations, lists of original publications and contributors, and acknowledgements. The format should follow guidelines for margins, spacing, and presentation quality.
The document provides tips for writing an outstanding literature review for a master's thesis. It discusses structuring the literature review, avoiding plagiarism through proper citation of sources, and techniques for paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting material from sources. It also covers best practices for writing clearly and concisely such as using active voice and precise verbs. The overall message is that a literature review requires carefully reviewing previous work in the field, incorporating relevant information and ideas from sources, and accurately attributing those sources.
A Comparison of Best Practices for Doctoral Training in the European and Nort...ORPHEUS
This document compares best practices for doctoral training between European and North American institutions. It finds some similarities, such as all programs requiring a scientific project under supervision and a concluding thesis. However, it also identifies main differences, such as in the structure of PhD programs, the use of thesis committees, and approaches to thesis assessment. The document concludes by discussing ORPHEUS, an organization that supports regular review of PhD programs through a process of self-evaluation, evaluation certification, and potential labelling based on site visits to promote continued improvement.
The document discusses various aspects of research design, including:
- The four major types of research design: exploratory, inductive, causal, and descriptive.
- Key components of research design like objectives, methodology, and data collection techniques.
- Different types of research designs for exploratory, descriptive, and hypothesis testing studies.
- Important principles of experimental design like replication, randomization, and local control.
- Formal experimental designs like completely randomized design, randomized block design, and Latin square design.

Dr. Arindam Sarkar discusses research methodology, which he defines as the specific procedures used to identify, process, analyze, and map data about a research topic. These include determining what type of data is needed, how it will be collected, managed, analyzed, and represented cartographically or through models. Both qualitative and quantitative methods may be used, involving primary and secondary data collection, as well as statistical analysis and mapping of the results. The document provides examples of different data collection methods, variables, sampling techniques, data processing steps, statistical analyses, types of maps and models that can be used in geographic research methodology.
The document discusses Reinhard Würzner's experiences running PhD programs in Innsbruck, Austria, and proposes standards for monitoring and assessing PhD training. It compares actions taken for standard university programs, national excellence programs, and international excellence programs. Key actions discussed include selecting supervisors, topics, students, dissertation committees, reviewers, and examiners. The document advocates adopting high standards, including international reviewers and examiners, annual progress reports, and assessments of students, supervisors, and entire programs. However, it notes some proposed actions have not yet been universally adopted for all standard programs in Innsbruck.
The document discusses research objectives and their importance in research. It states that research objectives should be specific and directly linked to the research question. Objectives help focus the research, guide the methodology, and structure what will be achieved. Good objectives are SMART - specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. They provide direction and help determine data needs, analysis and interpretation of results. Objectives should be clearly defined using action verbs and based on the research problem or gap identified from the literature review.
The document discusses hypothesis testing and different aspects related to formulating and testing hypotheses in research. It provides definitions of hypothesis, describes the different types of hypotheses like simple, complex, associative, causal hypotheses. It also discusses the importance of clearly defining hypotheses in research and listing potential sources of hypotheses. Different types of errors in hypothesis testing and the process of hypothesis testing is summarized.

The onward march, Are ePortflios in Monash radiography helping students prepa...ePortfolios Australia
Since 1 July 2012 Medical radiation practitioners have been a nationally regulated health profession (MRPBA, 2013). The
Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging (Hons) (BRadMedImg) program at Monash University prepares students to
become registered practitioners under the auspices of Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA). (Baird, 2008).
Upon graduation healthcare students are now also required to exhibit the capacity to demonstrate the achievement of identifiy graduate attributes required for employment, rather than simply being able to perform tasks, however the extent to
which university teaching and learning processes develop these in graduates is highly contestable (Barrie, 2008). This paper
aims to demonstrate how the Monash University radiography progamme uses PebblePad ™ technology to provide students
with a cohesive and integrated learning experience, one which they can continue to build on after graduation. It will also
explore the use of effectiveness of an ePortflio for increasing awareness of expectations among students by reporting on a
small scale study. This study is a follow up to a similar presentation made at ePortflio 2016 where we explored the gap in
students’ knowledge arising from the increased complexity as described.
This national study forms part of the series, 'Building Effective Research', edited by Andrew Murray and published by the Learning and Skills Research Centre (LSRC). This was commissioned as part of its strategy to enhance the impact of research within the post-16 (or learning and skills) sector, and was conducted by the LSRC plus a consortium of three universities: Leeds Metropolitan, St Andrew’s and Queen Mary’s, London. It comprises a review of relevant literature and five case studies of practice, as well as outcomes of workshops, where the findings were tested with people working in the sector.
Research Evaluation in an Open Science contextHilda Muchando
The Knowledge Exchange has published the report ‘𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙚: 𝙈𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥’.
The report presents how the Openness Profile can help address existing gaps in the assessment of Open Science in relation to issues such as:
• The need to accelerate the transition to Open - operationalising and normalising open scholarship practices has proven challenging.
• Conflicting ambitions combined with strong network effects that punish those who deviate from sector norms around research assessment and practice.
• The economic nature of challenges, either financial or relating to actors’ incentives, associated with the transition to open scholarship.
• Distortion of researcher behaviour due to over-reliance on traditional metrics.
• Underfunded and underdeveloped funder grant information systems. Poor adoption of PIDs and little to no interoperability with downstream stakeholders.
• Key contributors to the academic knowledge ecosystem being under-recognised
• Research being organised with ‘well defined’ rules that do not include ‘open’-related criteria.
The potential to improve open research evaluation practice as well as the requirements to implement the Openness Profile are addressed, including recommendations for stakeholders.
This document describes the Service Transformation eLearning Project (STEP), which created open-access eLearning modules on information literacy for healthcare professionals. A collaborative team developed 6 short modules covering topics like developing search strategies, dealing with too many/few results, and searching databases. Modules were based on user feedback and designed to be interactive, accessible, and promote behavioral change. The modules were hosted on e-Learning for Healthcare and promoted through library networks to make training more flexible and reduce pressures on frontline staff. Evaluation found the modules were well-received and confirmed or refreshed prior knowledge for most users.

A description of the final research topic
The topic of the final research is examining the challenges of communication skills in project management students in Australia. The project is essential for project managers, students, and lecturers.
A brief rationale to justify the need and significance for the project
The project is essential and significant in different ways. The first way is associated with the need to know the level of challenges that are associated with communication when it comes to managing projects in Australia (Todorović et al. 2015). It is imperative to note that projects in the higher education sector will never end and this is because they are part and parcel of the curriculum. A challenge cannot be solved if its level of severity has not been established. The project comes in place to make sure that the level of the challenge has been identified and that will help in looking for a suitable solution (Niazi et al. 2016). The second significance is associated with the need to understand the essence of communication during projects among the students of Australia. By examining the challenges that the students face, it will be easier to see the extent that the communication aspect affects the overall delivery of the project. The essence of a concept can only be known by looking into the effects that come with the absence of the concept. Therefore, in the case of the project, the project will help to understand the essence of communication in the management of projects.
Research questions or hypothesis
1. What are some of the common communication challenges that the students face while managing projects?
1. What is the essence of communication in the management of projects?
1. To what extent can communication challenges affect the overall performance of team members in a project?
