Being a PhD student: Experiences and Challenges
These slides provide some guidance to the prospective PhD students. The content reflects my personal experiences together with useful feedbacks I received from my colleagues/friends.
How to survive a PhD
The document provides advice on various aspects of completing a PhD, including selecting a topic, writing a thesis, being a good PhD student and supervisor, and completing the viva. It recommends selecting a topic that addresses gaps in existing research and adds to the knowledge base. A good thesis introduces the problem well, demonstrates expertise, and shows how the problem was solved. Being a good PhD student requires intelligence, creativity, hard work, and endurance. A good supervisor provides guidance, timely feedback, and inspiration. Writing up takes longer than expected, so chapters should be reviewed early. Meeting deadlines is important to avoid graduation delays. The viva involves a presentation and questioning from examiners.
The Art of Doing a PhD
This stack of slides describes my view on how to work as a PhD student. The presentation was targeted a Ubiquitous Computing audience, but is fairly generic in nature.
Life as a PhD student
My presentation for the incoming group of PhD students in Business Administration on the kick-off day at the Stockholm School of Economics.
Introduction to new PhD students
This document provides advice for PhD students from current PhD cohorts on various aspects of the PhD process. It recommends that students work hard early on by attending workshops and seminars, structure their time, take ownership of their topic even though it is supervised, research their supervisor and ensure being on the same page, have a clear timetable and leave plenty of time for drafting and final submission. It also advises utilizing other PhD students as a resource, learning to write and think critically, maintaining work-life balance and not being afraid to seek help from support staff. The overall message is to focus on completing the PhD to then pursue future goals.
I Did My PhD and I'm Still Alive
This document provides advice and information for completing a PhD degree. It discusses starting a PhD project, making progress, managing supervisors through weekly meetings, and dos and don'ts. It also covers writing a thesis, including managing language barriers and timelines. Finally, it outlines the viva voce exam process, including the purpose and roles of examiners and using one's thesis to defend their work. The overall document aims to guide and support PhD candidates through their degree.
Thinking of Doing a PhD?
The document provides information about pursuing a PhD degree, including what a PhD is, why people pursue one, requirements, considerations, and whether it is the right path. It begins by defining a PhD as the highest academic degree involving 3+ years of original research and a thesis. It notes that while many are interested in a PhD, not all who start will succeed due to challenges. Reasons for pursuing a PhD include personal motivation, career goals, and institutional factors. Requirements generally involve admission to a program, developing a research proposal, conducting a literature review, research, writing a dissertation, and defending it. Considerations for success include personal attributes like commitment and skills as well as support and resources. The document encourages self-assessment

Salami slicing
Salami slicing refers to the practice of breaking up a single research study into multiple smaller publications to increase publication count. Authors may do this to boost their career progression or obtain more funding. Examples are provided of researchers who published several similar papers using small variations of the same data set. While increasing publication count, salami slicing wastes time and does not significantly advance scientific understanding. It is better to focus on publishing high quality work rather than quantity alone.

RESEARCH PROPOSAL.
This document provides guidance on writing a research proposal in 3 sections. The introduction defines a research proposal and discusses its purpose. The main section outlines the key components of a proposal, including the title, abstract, statement of problem, objectives, methodology, work plan, personnel, facilities, budget, and format. The conclusion emphasizes doing thorough planning and writing the proposal in a clear, concise manner according to standard formats.
What is ph d thesis writing
This document provides guidance on how to write a thesis. It begins by outlining the structure of the tutorial in two parts. It then discusses both the good and bad aspects of writing a thesis. Key points include that writing a thesis is difficult but teaches important skills, and having a thesis committee selected early is beneficial. The document provides tips on developing a thesis message, table of contents, and timetable. It emphasizes starting writing early and getting feedback. Common mistakes and problems are also addressed.
Plagiarism
When writing a paper, always acknowledge all sources clearly and avoid copying other authors’ words verbatim. Failure to do so could lead to loss of tenure/funding and loss of credibility.
Life as a PhD student: identity, tools, hurdles, and supervisions
This presentation gives a brief overview of what can make your PhD student life easier. It focuses on steps within the PhD journey, possible hurdles, provides links to some useful tools, and it zooms in on the human factor (peers, supervisors).
Structure of a research paper
This document provides guidance on writing academic papers and evaluating journals. It discusses the different types of papers, elements to include in various sections like the abstract and introduction, how to write the literature review, and tips for organizing the paper. Key aspects covered include defining the structure of papers, evaluating journals based on indexing, impact factors and payment models, and how to write titles, introduce topics, synthesize literature, and structure paragraphs.
Identifying journals for publication
This presentation is about shortlisting and choosing journals for publishing. It also discusses quality issues, including predatory and hijacked journals. Most appropriate for Social Science students.
Post-PhD Pathways
1. The document provides advice for PhD graduates on potential career pathways after completing their degree. It discusses options such as pursuing an academic career through postdoctoral research, publishing, applying for teaching positions, and developing research agendas.
2. Statistics are presented on employment outcomes for graduates in different fields, showing varied rates of unemployment and seeking alternative work. The author shares their own pathway from PhD to current position as a university lecturer.
3. Tips are provided on networking, gaining experience through teaching and committees, applying for grants, measuring success beyond just publications, and preparing for a versatile career outside a single path.
05 The Supervisor-Student Relationship
1) The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of supervisors and students in a PhD research program. It outlines that the supervisor acts as an advisor, guide, quality assurer, and pastoral supporter rather than a subject matter expert.
2) It provides guidelines for successful supervision, including negotiating the relationship, initiating interaction, following advice, and not rushing ahead or expecting to be spoonfed.
3) The document then details the specific responsibilities of supervisors, such as providing guidance, feedback, accountability, and assistance without serving as an editor.

Mention the Challenges Researchers Face While Developing a Theoretical Frame ...
PhD Literature Review Theoretical Framework is always found in the initial section of a dissertation, and it acts as the foundation for investigating a problem statement associated with your research. The theoretical framework is also considered as the conceptual structure that guides the research work. It acts as a background that supports your research and shows the reader that you have sound knowledge in the particular research area. It plays a significant part in proving the originality of the research problem. The theoretical framework plays a significant role in guiding the process of a research study.
Ph.D. Assistance:
Ph.D. Assistance serves as an external mentor to brainstorm your idea and translate that into research model. Hiring a mentor or tutor is common and therefore let your research committee known about the same. We do not offer any writing services without the involvement of the researcher.

I don’t have a research question, where do I start? Narrow down a research area of interest
1) Narrow down an area of interest (i.e. Growth theory, monetary policy, fiscal policy etc.)
2) Within that area of interest try to answer a research question that:
Has either not been addressed before;
Or has been addressed but that you could extend in a significant way (i.e. new data-set, different econometric/theoretical approach etc.);
Or pioneer a new research area of economics (not recommended)
Note: before you identify a research question it is crucial that you narrow down a research area of interest!

1) Narrow down an area of interest (i.e. Growth theory, monetary policy, fiscal policy etc.)
2) Within that area of interest try to answer a research question that:
Has either not been addressed before;
Or has been addressed but that you could extend in a significant way (i.e. new data-set, different econometric/theoretical approach etc.);
Or pioneer a new research area of economics (not recommended)
Note: before you identify a research question it is crucial that you narrow down a research area of interest!

The document provides an overview of conducting a literature review. It defines what a literature review is, what it involves, and how to structure and write an effective literature review. Some key points include:
- A literature review discusses existing knowledge on a topic through a critical analysis and synthesis of prior research.
- It establishes the intellectual context for a research study and demonstrates understanding of the topic.
- The review involves selecting, evaluating, and organizing relevant sources, and identifying relationships, gaps, and trends in the literature.
- An effective review is conceptually organized and relates findings to the research question rather than summarizing individual studies.

Identification and formulation of research
This document discusses the process of identifying and formulating a research problem. It begins by defining research as creating new knowledge. A researcher spends time refining a research idea into a testable problem by defining a specific problem area, reviewing literature, and examining feasibility. Problems can come from various sources like ongoing projects, data sets, theories of interest, and daily issues. When selecting a problem, it should be interesting, researchable, significant, manageable, and come from known facts. The document provides guidance on narrowing a problem and cautions that preconceptions could influence research. A good problem statement clearly identifies variables and their relationship while specifying the population in an empirically testable way.
