The tumbling success to journal paper publication
14/04/2015
There are times when you make attempts to achieve something but always lose out for a few points. This is especially true when you are attempting a write up to be approved for a journal paper. This is a study that people create in order to be featured among academic writers and to make a mark in their field. There are certain methods that help in achieving a good feedback and probably nailing it in the first time with a journal paper.
The first and most important point is to conform to the standards of writing a journal paper. The formatting, style and structuring needs to be exactly as it is expected. The publishers are generally very choosy about who they allow to be printed, when you follow the rules, you know you are one step closer to being printed.
Keep you matter exclusive and fresh. Something that is not very frequently written about, may earn you a few brownie points. Such an endeavor obviously comes with the challenge to study with much more seriousness and detail.
Add value to the paper with diversified styles in providing information. Making use of informative tables and surveys make for a more interesting and allowable study. Your attempt to a survey may just get you that important nod.
Your study should have a conclusion that provides extra insight into the matter. Stating the obvious would never get you too far, if your inferences are new, they make for a better read. Publishers are always on the lookout for unique and original content and ideas.
Sometimes you have to think out of the box if you need to reach new heights, what may seem like a colossal task may just need a new outlook and you are good to go!
How to engross interest in your PhD Thesis
14/04/2015
If you have had the chance to read a study or an informational write up, you might know exactly what interests you in reading it. If you are on your way to achieving a PhD degree, you probably have read quite a few studies or thesis presentations. There are some common factors that contribute towards making a thesis interesting. Here are some tips and how you can get to achieve them.
Keep you sentences and paragraphs short and informative. This keeps the readers interested in the matter, long sentences make for a boring read. Shorter sentences give a crisper feel to the write up. You can achieve this by using only the most relevant information, fluff usually makes for more words and hence longer sentences.
Make use of illustrative messages. These illustrations could be in the form of pictures, graphs, comparative analysis etc. You could either get these through research or create them on your own.
Prepare questionnaires or surveys and present them to support your study. Such a style of presentation keeps the read an interactive one. People find it more enjoyable to compare their own answers with the answers of a survey. Creation of such surveys or questionnaires can be done with the help of those who have experience in doing it.
Stick to facts and figures, something that adds informative value to the reader’s minds is incomparable. An evaluator would find your study more complete if you have made and incorporated a list of facts that support your work. Get this information through probing or reading up on material or searching on the web.
People write thesis year on year, but you can stand out with your work if you make and attempt to keep it different while conforming to the standards. A unique read makes for the most successful attempt when it comes to thesis writing.
The 3 driving sections of a PhD Thesis
10/04/2015
Completing a PhD course is something that takes a lot of effort and confidence. Without having the conviction in yourself, it may be impossible to get anywhere in your endeavor. The best way to gain the confidence is to take one thing at a time and concentrate on that with all your heart and soul. One of the most important part of finishing PhD is doing the thesis. When the thesis is broken up into parts, it becomes extremely easy to achieve. It is important to identify the different parts of the thesis.
The first part is the introduction, which includes the topic of the thesis, the proposal and the problem statement. The topic gives an idea of what you intend to target in your study, the proposal serves as an explanation of the topic and the problem statement is which part of the topic, you find to be worthy of the study and how you will tackle it in the course of your study. The best way to get it right is to be clear on your intention and the final result that you want to see. You can also take help from someone who has been there and done that, just to make sure you are on the right track
The second part of the thesis is the body itself. The body contains everything from the history of the topic, to the evolution, to the present and the future. Case studies play a major role in the second part of the thesis. Getting this part right becomes easier if you keep your sources of study diverse and also keep the style of information dynamic.
The final part of the thesis should express what you have learnt from the study and how you may apply your inferences in problem solving. Studying other people’s work helps in getting the inferences right. Making the study a wholesome and error free one.
