Self paced training: Literature Reviews
The literature review is one of the first sections of a thesis and often the first ‘task’ you will be set by a supervisory team when you start a PGR programme. These materials introduce you to different types of literature review structure; how the university library resources can help you effectively collate the required information; how to manage your references; and what it means to critically appraise information at doctoral level.
Self paced training: Publication Support
This set of resources aims to support PGRs as they aim to publish their research in a journal or similar. The resources cover aspects such as writing a good abstract, publishing preprints, responding to reviewer comments, collaborative writing and telling a story.
