i am doing research on design optimization. i am now writing my PhD thesis. Those who have already finished PhD and corrected the thesis of their scholars. Also many have reviewed thesis. So some useful tips may be shared based on their past experience which may be useful for writing my thesis in a better way.
Congrats ,you have achieved much already,but the only and best useful hint someone can offer you right now is LIBRARY. Find out 1. the policy of thesis writing in your university 2. find out your Department;s requirements and guidelines 3. Make sure the title is relevant in your field and contributes to new/existing knowledge 4. discuss the progression with your Doctoral committee and your assigned supervisors FINALLY,read read read .and understand your title and what the purpose ,objectives and method of carrying out your chisen area.once you are very conversant with yor chosen arae of study ,Great..its easy.congrats in advannce.During review,we normally encounter problems with students who dont know what the problem of the research is,so cant state the problem well,and that follows wrong objectives,wrong methodology,wrong analysis..
so you need to know ,WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??
... in addition to the great statement above: Make sure, that you have defined the scope of work and the research question clearly and understandable. Answer the research question of your PhD-project clearly and understandable in a conclusion and point out your scientific contribution. I always ask my PhD students at the end of their work: "What makes your work worth to be accepted as final thesis in a Doctoral programe? Tell me the (scientific) USP of your work in a few sentences!". When you can answer these questions, it will be easy to finish your study with sucess.
Good luck for the final phase of your PhD-project!
