Reviews from 1st and 2nd Editions include: "A welcome revision to what has always been a popular book amongst intending Ph.D students." - "Phoenix". "Phillips and Pugh's book has, since its original publication in 1987, become the undisputed bible for doctoral students." - "Nursing Times". "Warmly recommended as a bed-side companion, both to those hoping to get a Ph.D and to those who have the responsibility of guiding them, often with very little support themselves" - "Higher Education Review". "This is an excellent book. Its style is racy and clear...an impressive array of information, useful advice and comment gleaned from the authors' systematic study and experience over many years...should be required reading not only for those contemplating doctoral study but also for all supervisors, new and experienced." - "Higher Education". This is a handbook and survival manual for Ph.D students, providing a practical, realistic understanding of the processes of doing research for a doctorate. It discusses many important issues often neglected, such as time management, and how to overcome the difficulties of communicating with supervisors; and considers the particular problems of groups, such as women, part-time and overseas students. The book also provides practical insights for supervisors, and assists senior academic administrators by examining the responsibilities that universities have for providing an adequate overall service for research students. This 3rd edition has been extensively revised and updated throughout with new material added on information and communication technology, publishing, teaching and working towards a Ph.D in a practice based discipline. Additional material has also been provided for supervisors with new sections on the outcomes of good supervision and on how to examine.

Some notable differences between the research cultures of university disciplines, particularly between the culture of laboratory-based sciences and that of the humanities and social sciences. To a considerable extent they stem from the large capital investment in equipment and materials required in scientific research.
- supervisors in science have to take the lead in obtaining the physical resources and the research personnel required. A studentship may be allocated and a doctoral student recruited specifically to work on a designated line of research. In this situation the 'apprenticeship' aspect of being a doctoral students is emphasised. The student's research topic will be clearly defined to fit in with the innovative thrust of the supervisor's research programmes, and this will set... (查看原文)
During the intervening years their (research students) enthusiasm has been dampened by the demands of having to concentrate on a specific topic and conduct routine and repetitive tasks in an atmosphere where nobody seems either to understand or to care about their work.
They come into the university or college knowing precisely who they are: successful and intelligent holders of well-earned qualifications. It is not long before they lose their initial confidence and begin to question their own self-image. This is the result of contacts (no matter how sporadic or from what distance) with academic discourse. Such contacts could come from members of staff, postgraduates who are further into their research than the first-year students, and papers published in journals or presented at confere... (查看原文)

这本书对准备要做研究或者正在做研究的人都有好处。也对有准备申请研究生或者博士的学生做一个心理准备，大概知道本科以上的学习方式和本科时期的区别，也让犹豫不定的人反思自己是否真的想要花时间在学术上面还是自己更适合开始工作。虽然基本上是针对英国的研究要求，但我觉得给国内的学术人和导师读读也很好，改变国内人做学术研究的理念。
