Publishing from Your PhD cover

Skills in learning and studying are vital to ensure success in higher education study, whether at undergraduate or postgraduate level, in university, college or in the workplace. Skills are needed in reflection, analysis, communication and recording information to produce good work, to engage effectively in a group, to carry out a project or perform well in exams; personal skills are needed to handle time and pressure and to relate to others on a course or in the workplace. This new guide builds on the hugely successful materials the authors have developed over the last 15 years. Along with highly practical guidance on traditional learning skills, The Guide to Learning and Study Skills provides direction for students on learning in a blended environment; the increased use of personal and professional development planning, continuing professional development and work-based learning.

'The focus of this book is something many PhD candidates and recent graduates will clearly appreciate...this is a book librarians should recommend to PhD candidates and graduates.' - Peter Macauley, Australian Academic & Research Libraries '...There was much content likely to be motivating and encouraging for readers...There is useful and realistic advice...I also liked the frankness and clarity of the advice given in the interviews in the second section...' Elaine Walsh, Studies in Higher Education In Publishing from Your PhD Nicola Johnson offers a detailed, self-reflective journal from when she was a new PhD graduate and an academic at University of Wollongong. She shares her developing academic writing experiences during the many ups and downs she has gone through, and the many tips she has learned throughout this journey. Johnson also provides PhD students and new graduates with practical advice on the nuances and intricacies of publishing PhD findings and performing fruitfully as an academic in what she describes as the crowded jungle of academia.’ Maryam Nazari.
