Rate this book
Academia is a whole new word – literature reviews, journal papers, conference presentations, coming up with a question for your PhD research, interacting with your supervisors.

Learning how to navigate all of these aspects of your PhD will ensure your successful completion, and the better life you’re working towards.

This manual, which is Dr. John Hockey and Dr. Sandeep Gupta's most popular book, teaches
As a result, you’ll become a leader in your field, get higher citations and become well known in your field, you’ll get your papers accepted in journals much easier (which takes away the headaches you might otherwise get), you’ll get nicer comments on your work, your PhD will get completed quicker, you’ll get more papers published, and you’re chances of successfully completing your PhD will dramatically increase.

All of this plus, you’ll be happier because your work is going well. You’ll be less stressed because you’ll be on top of things. You’ll also get more free time to rest and keep up a healthy lifestyle away from the office, including being able to socialize with your friends on the weekends, and continuing to play your favorite sport.

Dr. John Hockey and Dr. Sandeep Gupta put their 37 years of experience into this one manual to give you all of those benefits. The instructions are distilled to give the most effective tips and how-to guides.

Very informative

I feel like this will be my bible when I get into the program. I've learned so much about what goes on within a PhD program and don't feel overwhelmed by the information. Of course every school and program is different but it informs you of the basics. I will definitely keep this book handy when the time comes. Hope this helps current and future students to survive the PhD programs
