My Awesomest Network, Could You help me to write and give a pieces of advice et cetera during my Ph.D. conspect preparations, pleas e?
Dear Dariusz Jenek,
I am also learning...
Here are some steps to guide you through the preparation:
~Define Your Research Question or Objective:
~Clearly articulate what you want to investigate.
Ensure your research question is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
~Background/Literature Review:
~Provide a brief overview of the existing knowledge in your field of study.
~Identify gaps or controversies in current knowledge to justify your research.
~Methodology:
Describe the methods and procedures you'll employ to address your research question.
Justify your chosen method, explaining why it's suitable for your research question.
~Expected Outcomes:
Anticipate or hypothesize potential findings.
Highlight the significance of these potential outcomes.
Timeline:
Segment your research into distinct stages, providing an estimated timeframe for each.
Limitations:
Acknowledge any potential challenges or limitations in your study.
References:
Always cite your sources. Ensure you use a consistent and accepted citation style pertinent to your field.
General Advice:
Be Clear and Concise: Your conspectus should be accessible not only to experts but also to those less familiar with the topic.
Seek Feedback: Before finalizing your conspectus, seek feedback from peers, mentors, or field experts.
Stay Updated: Continue updating your knowledge even after your initial literature review. This ensures your research remains at the forefront of relevance.
Edit and Revise: Crafting a conspectus isn't a one-off task. Refine your ideas and presentation through multiple drafts.
Avoid Plagiarism: Maintain the originality of your work, giving appropriate credit for borrowed ideas or statements.
Remember, your Ph.D. conspectus serves as a roadmap for your research. While it should guide you, it must also offer enough flexibility to adapt as your research progresses.
Stay healthy!
Best Regards,
Sarah
From the viewpoint of mental health, it is necessary to balance cognitive stress with physical activities, best outdoor.
For the technical preparations (dissertation, rigorosum), a professional mentor is needed, who has enough emotional distance to the ongoing process.
