Subscribed to a scholarship list, mostly science, tho #phdchat @PJ_Weatherill great idea. Do you have any suggestions about where people can pick up this kind of work? #phdchat @lindathestar good point - libraries often listen to PhD student book buying requests. never hurts to ask #phdchat Also, if ur nearing end of PhD, don't go part-time to work full-time for $$$. So many ppl I know who did never ended up finishing #phdchat @stealthpooch what type of work do you suggest for outside of semester? #Phdchat @lyndonwalker Sad - I know a few who drive taxis.

Sometimes unis offer special scholarships based on PhD performance #phdchat @waginski That's always going to be the case. Scholarships are on academic merit and EXTREMELY competitive b/c of limited funding #phdchat @lindathestar thanks for the welcome Linda #phdchat @PJ_Weatherill Thanks, useful tip #phdchat @PJ_Weatherill @lindathestar great tip - I can vouch for that too. I got my scholarship on third attempt #phdchat Interesting to be sitting here waking up with a cup of tea while looking at #phdchat rather than winding down with a beer! Hi, I'm on a 3yr T&R contract after 4 years of casual and sessional garbage-fun! General ad: b careful with sessional teaching 1/2 #phdchat My tip is to put your hand up for *everything* that comes along in your dept. RA work? Me! Teaching? Me! Full-time position? Me! #phdchat @lizith hi Liz *waves teacup* #phdchat With p/t research jobs, beware of mental costs of task switching/blurring/creep: better to do something unrelated to uni/thesis? #phdchat @AnujaCabraal @HelenHickson Oooh, good tip! #PhDchat @stealthpooch @helenhickson I picked up work through my supervisor ....#phdchat @thesiswhisperer *waves* back and spills tea on keyboard and frantically searches for tissues to wipe it up :) #phdchat What about research or teaching related work outside of the university such as in-house research for an organisation or institute? #phdchat When there are students with 1st class Hons/Masters that still miss out on APA's/IPRS scholarships...Be fair #phdchat @thesiswhisperer @PJ_Weatherill Thanx for the encouragement. I'll persist then. It gets disheartening after a while. #phdchat Good ways for PhD's to earn $$$ while progressing academic careers? 1.RA Work. 2.Teaching 3.Apply for Grants. 4.Scholarships #PhDChat Suggestions of research assistant work on #phdchat. Thinking outside the tutoring box. @thesiswhisperer but performance also linked to how much time you have to spend on PhD outside of family/work #phdchat my concern is balancing the work life (FT) and fitting in the phd around this #phdchat @bjkraal It's good to know that - some academics think students will be 'too busy' if they give them work #phdchat I was thankful for phd scholarship. Sadly, it ran out before I finished writing thesis. #phdchat @RhythmicDeets @thesiswhisperer having never gotten a grant, where do you even start? #PhDChat found submitting articles for publication helpful in pushing my scholarship app over the line #phdchat RT @RhythmicDeets: Good ways for PhD's to earn $$$ while progressing academic careers? 1.RA Work. 2.Teaching 3.Apply for Grants. 4.Scholarships #PhDChat @musicforbabes Problem with this is that you'll come under pressure to make progress after a while. Best to be strategic #phdchat 2/2 Bc so much work&the $ is so bad. Research assistance: better $, more time for your research. How to get? Follow the grant $...! #phdchat Networking for work or stumbling across it... btw ... if anyone knows anyone after sessional statistics tutoring PM me #phdchat #notsubtle @AnujaCabraal you do this kind of work don't you? Any ideas about how to break into it? #phdchat @musicforbabes I disagree. If you say yes to everything, your PhD can drag on forever. Be discerning. #phdchat I already had a teaching qualification, so I did substitute teaching during my phd. It paid well and gave valuable experience. #phdchat @ai1sa Hi, good to see you. #phdchat @thesiswhisperer I also do some casual s sch teaching....previous life so had qualifications that allowed me to. Good last min wk #phdchat I did admin work - good for getting admin staff on your side as well as seeing the 'nonacademic' side of uni. #phdchat RT @thesiswhisperer: My best top for finding casual academic work: get to know the other casuals. They often have more than they can do #phdchat @lindathestar You can get more "publications" by freelance writing - many of which are paid.

I've heard that advice before. Be VERY helpful, to everyone. Its a challenge to balance with phd but, good exp #phdchat @debyy yeah, publications definitely boost your chance of scholarship #PhDchat #phdchat I try to apply for conference scholarships too, so I can go to more. @Nicky_Garland Cheers! I'm glad to be the one here winding down with a glass of wine. #phdchat My uni (NZ Akld) offers marking to phd students #phdchat RT @PJ_Weatherill: @lindathestar You can get more "publications" by freelance writing many of which are paid. Write on your topic for the masses. #phdchat @stephentang good point! This is what I am doing. Keeps mental energy for topic. #PhDchat @waginski @BoredPostdoc I have been agitating for scholarships for part timers with government types. No luck so far #phdchat @lyndonwalker pop a sign up in the psych corridors of your nui for 1st year students! #phdchat @waginski I disagree. I think it should be merit based. But to each their own I suppose. #phdchat @Nicky_Garland yes Nick, an absence of wk life balance is my permanent state #phdchat @catspyjamasnz Get to know the academics who will share info + apply for EVERY GRANT feasible. You don't need a PhD to win a grant. #PhDChat Proofread for international MA students. Good way to learn about a diff topic. Gotta be careful of editing/supervision boundary tho #phdchat @thesiswhisperer @lindathestar my school 'pays' RHD students in research expenses 4 sitting uni gallery. Paid 4 1000s of $ in books #phdchat I agree with @BoredPostdoc about being discerning. I lectured FT, phded FT, did consulting, private tutoring & more It takes a toll #phdchat @PJ_Weatherill writing newspaper opinion pieces is a good place to start - key is currency of topic #phdchat @ai1sa I agree - me too. I am prone to distractions, procrastination and shiny objects! #phdchat @ai1sa Hi - it's getting a bit frantic in here and I didn't see you there :-) #phdchat @PJ_Weatherill I have a folder in my Endnote library for my publications & media. Not all 'academic' but on topic. Only one paid #phdchat @catspyjamasnz I have won several grants and then paid a Research Assistant to help me with my PhD Research. Win win! #PhDChat @lindathestar Managed to get travel paid for too? #phdchat Actually I know a lot of people who had to quit working to make any proper phd progress. Do we work too much? #phdchat @thesiswhisperer funding for Part-timers - don't start me! I wish there were. #phdchat @thesiswhisperer Don't be afraid to cold call people and tell them you are interested in the area. I've had a lot of jobs that way #phdchat @thesiswhisperer @melovell so true. My 3.5 years of APA ends next week, but I'll be submitting May (eek) #phdchat @RhythmicDeets a friend works at NZ uni and her job is help write research grant proposals... wish i cld find equivalent @deakin #PhDChat I have had lecturer friends who went PT during phd studies, but when the phd crashed, they could not get FT work again #phdchat @pinniesp Aha - I hadn't thought of that (follow the grant). That might work for me. Thanks #phdchat @stealthpooch really? What a great idea! I wonder how many other unis have spare gigs of this type for PhD students? #phdchat @PJ_Weatherill Not yet! #phdchat I took up a part time job in the industry I was researching and did lots of volunteer work which turned into paid work. #phdchat @ai1sa I did marking & would recommend it as its something you can do pretty much in your own time I.e when your head hurts #phdchat @melovell I think many people find, at a certain point, that they can't get the space they need to think when they work fulltime #phdchat Haha, on-topic twitter spam "are you tired of never having enough money" ... #phdchat I tell myself when I have $ one day I'll set up a scholarship for PhD students to attend conferences. #phdchat RT @RhythmicDeets: @catspyjamasnz I won several grants and then paid Research Assistant to help w Research.

A lot of uni ag departments have casual work at this time of year if you're sciencey and don't mind repetitive work (and free food) #phdchat I work a lot by telling everyone that i want work but find it really difficult to maintain momentum on my phd #phdchat @Glenda_C_ that's a really difficult position. Most unis have careers centres, but I have not had much luck with them in the past #phdchat @pinniesp at my uni it is mainly based on academic merit - generally first class or distinctions. Pubs help if you don't have that #PhDchat @witty_knitter no i am also =FT and PT phd, very slow though #phdchat In retrospect I would have done less volunteer work, more paid work. I've always been a sucker for a cause. ;-) #phdchat @thesiswhisperer not sure, but it's benefited my research immensely. It's paid 4 travel, books, printer ink, internet, software... #phdchat @RhythmicDeets @catspyjamasnz I didn't know you could have a research assistant when you're doing a PhD. Do all unis allow that? #PhDChat #phdchat During Masters I got project work on the same topic, win:win for lit review & consistent head space. @Glenda_C_ The university should never let PhD's enrol without confirmed funding. This has been policy everywhere I've worked #phdchat There is a myth that part-time students don't need support, because of course they all have great jobs. #phdchat I did some private tutoring for an undergrad at a different university, that way it's not ethically dodgy but good $$ - #phdchat #phdchat sorry guys, running a tad late :( @jazzlinguist we have a travel scholarship @rmit for research students. It is massively popular #phdchat @thesiswhisperer @glenda_c_ in my experience career centres don't know what to do with Phd Students. They are a dept. problem #phdchat @jazzlinguist Are there (m)any external opportunities for this type of funding? #phdchat @RhythmicDeets good option but it can be hard to compete with some offshore services #phdchat Try not to take on any work which won't help you work towards your post-phd goals. #phdchat @witty_knitter I did first 12 months part-time while working full-time at a bar. Was a nightmare, little support other than super #phdchat @melovell @thesiswhisperer it still means 3 months without a scholarship though! At least semester starts in Feb, which = teaching #phdchat Another way to earn $$$ is to offer marking services to help busy academics at the end of the Semester. #PhDChat @Glenda_C_ Network. Call & meet people researching areas of interest to you. Many have work but want someone interested in the area #phdchat @witty_knitter my first costs are coming up at the moment: books. will turn to library for as much as i can... #phdchat I'm p/t and do casual work only because partner and I have swapped roles. It is tough but I try to look to a positive end result #phdchat @andanin there's a fair bit of scroll back :-) #phdchat Ive been really impressed with what Deakin offer me in financial support for conferences and books #phdchat Planning on taking on a heavy teaching load (casual) and then focussing 100% on phd during non-teaching periods.. #Phdchat @jazzlinguist Oh, conference scholarship a great idea. Finding money for the 'extras' - like conferences - that most hurts me. #phdchat @thesiswhisperer Jealousy. #phdchat @ai1sa Lucky! I'm with Deakin, had to fight for support, went external for sship & most travel so far #phdchat @stealthpooch @thesiswhisperer Yeah, that's the tough bit. #phdchat @_JamesFarrell In my experience they're limited by a) discipline b) destination c) research not conferences. All excluded me. #phdchat 2/1/2012 9:22:09 2/1/2012 9:23:09 2/1/2012 9:23:10 2/1/2012 9:23:30 2/1/2012 9:23:37 2/1/2012 9:24:00 2/1/2012 9:24:05 2/1/2012 9:24:06 2/1/2012 9:24:23 2/1/2012 9:24:23 2/1/2012 9:24:34 2/1/2012 9:24:41 2/1/2012 9:24:45 2/1/2012 9:24:45 2/1/2012 9:24:51 2/1/2012 9:24:57 2/1/2012 9:25:03 2/1/2012 9:25:14 2/1/2012 9:25:19 2/1/2012 9:25:29 2/1/2012 9:25:33 2/1/2012 9:25:51 2/1/2012 9:26:26 2/1/2012 9:26:26 2/1/2012 9:26:38 2/1/2012 9:26:40 2/1/2012 9:26:42 2/1/2012 9:26:48 2/1/2012 9:26:49 2/1/2012 9:26:50 2/1/2012 9:26:58 2/1/2012 9:27:04 2/1/2012 9:27:06 2/1/2012 9:27:25 2/1/2012 9:27:40 2/1/2012 9:27:54 2/1/2012 9:28:03

@andanin so where did you start, externally? how did you find out about options? #phdchat @anzachistorian It's such a valuable experience too! Find out what you can get through uni jazzlinguist from supervisor/pg coord. #phdchat @thesiswhisperer mix of tutoring and getting a research assistant job with a sup with an jasmine_z ARC grant! they are more generous.#phdchat @witty_knitter Ft academic job + pt phd (following my "yes to everything" strategy.) Those I musicforbabes worked for were on selection panel. ;) #phdchat My uni had money prizes for #3MT competition so I won $1000 for conference travel. jazzlinguist Course, can't get far in Oz for $1000. #phdchat @laurawhitburn be careful with that, you can get very distracted (been there got the t-shirt) tassie_gal #phdchat Getting tutoring work is no longer a rite of passage for phd students as there is more JoClyne1 competition. Look outside academia for work #phdchat @RhythmicDeets and just hang around in corridors chatting and saying "pick me" :-) PJ_Weatherill #phdchat @ai1sa at Monash =grant allowance that you can access esp for travel conferences etc MeganJMcPherson @phdchat One good tip I got re schools was don't discount little ones, a few little ones can add up to orientalhotel enough for what you want #phdchat Thinking abt work/life division. Mine is v strict. How much of your 'spare' time do you spend victoriandotage doing work-related reading/thinking? #phdchat @RhythmicDeets second that - when you are on 'the other side' you realise what an thesiswhisperer amazing asset those PhD skills are #phdchat #phdchat Seems my school is as badly off as I am - no more casual post-grad tutoring annaegardner because they can't afford it = no experience for me. Ive been blessed by site of my study =not for profit that put my name forward for a ai1sa conference, & cathay pacific funded flights #phdchat Tweeps on APAs: remember to get/submit med certs when sick. Sick leave days extend stephentang your paid scholarship term. Wish I knew earlier. #phdchat @thesiswhisperer There is a MASSIVE need. Departments don't have a clue, and students tassie_gal brains are dead after PhD #phdchat @RhythmicDeets And stay on the right side of the finance people - they'll let you know jazzlinguist when there's opportunities to claim for $! #phdchat RT @stephentang: Tweeps on APAs: remember to get/submit med certs when sick.

RT @PJ_Weatherill: @RhythmicDeets and just hang around in corridors chatting and saying "pick me" :-) #phdchat @stephentang comment on annual review anything thats slowed it down even if havent taken intermission. #phdchat @catspyjamasnz Lots of web searches! Was hard, 15 aps for 1 hit. I'm now very good at grant writing despite still in PhD #phdchat @stephentang Does this include colds, migraines and everyday sickdays? #phdchat My first semester of tutoring a great experience. Money didn't match the time and effort. More useful for CV building? #phdchat @lindathestar I never was eligible for any Centrelink stuff..its frustrating #phdchat @stephentang me too. It wasn't until second year that I found out that sick leave extended your time. #phdchat @stephentang excellent advice. Most will offer indefinite medical leave too if you find yourself afflicted by illness #phdchat RT @thesiswhisperer: @victoriandotage #phdchat studies show that more than spending more than 40 hours a week on your PhD gives diminishing returns. @ai1sa I got lucky there, my s'ship gave me enough to do 1, supervisor scraped together funds to go to another next year #phdchat RT @thesiswhisperer: @victoriandotage #phdchat studies show spending 40 hrs+ a wk on PhD = diminishing returns <- hear that @cristinacost?

@BoredPostdoc Ouch. Sorry to hear it. That is not a fun place to be. #phdchat So important to find the right balance between work and study so that you can deal with any JoClyne1 unexpected issues that might arise. #phdchat @thesiswhisperer @anujacabraal @annaegardner working at other uni got me a MEd MeganJMcPherson scholarship & then phd candidature #phdchat HelenHickson thesiswhisperer lindathestar ai1sa jazzlinguist RhythmicDeets stealthpooch thesiswhisperer ai1sa catspyjamasnz thesiswhisperer jazzlinguist debyy andanin catspyjamasnz interactivate BronwynHinz thesiswhisperer jasmine_z donmacca andanin thesiswhisperer clairedavisonAU AnujaCabraal tassie_gal BronwynHinz RhythmicDeets kraontheroads stephentang annaegardner thesiswhisperer catspyjamasnz ai1sa melovell witty_knitter tassie_gal stephentang @RhythmicDeets I hadn't thought of that - it's a great idea and I will try it. Thanks! #phdchat I can't believe #phdchat has only 15 minutes to go! Such fun! #phdchat Lovely to talk, I'm off for a walk before it gets dark. A great start, thanks @thesiswhisperer for getting us going. @tassie_gal ur not alone #phdchat I have an idea for PhD-related merch! #phdchat #money #notentirelyserious #notentirelyjoking Go along to 'Shut Up & Write!' groups - many Uni's now host these. A great way to meet and buddy up with academics who have $$$. #PhDChat @tassie_gal @thesiswhisperer @anujacabraal @annaegardner so true. Not many options when you only have one uni in the state #phdchat @stephentang I hear you. Most of my life I feel like I have been 'Information rich' but cash poor... #phdchat am in aussie as of the 14th, Deakin pays for me to come to summer school :) #phdchat @RhythmicDeets i'm starting a Shut Up & Write at @deakin . but others are just as poor.... #PhDChat @RhythmicDeets shut up and write is a lovely coffee donation zone #phdchat :-) Wow #phdchat is trending in Australia. #predictabletweet #someonehadtotweetit #apologetichashtags This f/time student/single mum has to get kid to bed so thanks everyone for your great suggestions #phdchat @catspyjamasnz Ohoh, which campus? I've been thinking of doing the same! #PhDChat @andanin Burwood #PhDChat This may be rare but I feel guilty crying poor as I'm really not - due to partner's support #phdchat me too RT @thesiswhisperer @stephentang I hear you. Most of my life I feel like I have been 'Information rich' but cash poor... #phdchat @stealthpooch @tassie_gal @anujacabraal @annaegardner have you tried teaching online? Surprising number of opportunities #phdchat #phdchat this is random. but, anyone here in Canberra? Coming in very later to #phdchat. Great to see so many good ideas for such a painful process! @catspyjamasnz Bummer, I'm Waurn Ponds. Oh well, non-hostal takeover Deakin wide! #PhDChat @catspyjamasnz @RhythmicDeets I'm thinking of asking Pearson and Murphy's to sponsor us since we are a tourist attraction :-) #phdchat Late to the party, sorry if covered. It's worth checking Uni EBA to see if there are Early Career fellowships available #phdchat @tassie_gal @thesiswhisperer @annaegardner @stealthpooch What about working for a related organisation? I do that as well & like it #phdchat does anyone want to come do a shut up and write in Lithgow with me? #phdchat @thesiswhisperer @stealthpooch @tassie_gal @anujacabraal @annaegardner great idea! I presume more family friendly too? #phdchat OMG we got #PhDChat trending in Australia! YEAH! :) @thesiswhisperer can you give some more insights on online teaching? #phdchat @jasmine_z I'm at ANU too! #phdchat @thesiswhisperer @stealthpooch @tassie_gal @anujacabraal Really don't feel confident just wading into teaching w/out training... #phdchat Hey - we actually got #phdchat trending in Australia?! High five everyone! @andanin could establish common processes (ie steal @thesiswhisperer's)/ do common promotion? #PhDChat @Deakin anyone for a geelong shutupand write 15-19th? #phdchat @jasmine_z Yes, in Canberra. #phdchat @interactivate partner financial support is a whole issue in itself. I have a lot from mine, even thou I'm working she helps out. #phdchat @thesiswhisperer I could have done internet tutoring for my old MSc Alma Mater, but time zone logistics were horrid #phdchat RT @RhythmicDeets: OMG we got #PhDChat trending in Australia!

Will have to scribble down some ideas #PhDChat @AnujaCabraal @thesiswhisperer @annaegardner @stealthpooch my PhD was in Ethics, not much in that way in Tassie #phdchat @annaegardner I get the impression even with training teachers don't feel confident. #phdchat Find a mentor though. Going straight from undergrad to phd wAPA made it easier money-wise. I felt so rich! It'd be hard to transfer from full time work #phdchat RT @thesiswhisperer: Hey - we actually got #phdchat trending in Australia?! High five everyone! <- *high fives* @melovell @stephentang aha, so much love! glad to know I'm not alone here in Canberra! #phdchat @andanin @catspyjamasnz I'm at Waurn Ponds, and would be keen to be involved in some #shutupandwrite action... #phdchat @PJ_Weatherill #phdchat - i hear you but how do you find this opportunities? I apply for every grant, ask for every discount, work at & beyond uni in related fields & get extra tips from http://t.co/NVb93R2a #Phdchat @annaegardner check the staff professional development program for courses. If you are at an ATN uni there's a free online course #phdchat Ok, I'm out. Time to go beat up a punching bag at the gym #phdchat @witty_knitter TBH, the whole idea of me doing a PhD was only feasible after partner secured well-paid permanent job. #phdchat @annaegardner @thesiswhisperer @stealthpooch @tassie_gal If it's your 1st time tutoring, normally they train you before you start #phdchat RT @thesiswhisperer: Hey - we actually got #phdchat trending in Australia?! High five everyone! @_JamesFarrell @andanin excellent. DM me yr emails... :-) #shutupandwrite #phdchat Remember that phd students have something rare to offer: flexibility! It makes for a very desirable employee. #phdchat @AnujaCabraal @tassie_gal @thesiswhisperer @annaegardner yep, I work in a museum in addition to teaching #phdchat @annaegardner @thesiswhisperer @stealthpooch @anujacabraal some Unis will offer courses or even a Grad Cert in Higher Ed. #phdchat @stealthpooch Haha yes! APA is the most money I've ever known. #phdchat @BoredPostdoc thanks for helping us get trending! #phdchat @interactivate that was my situation, too, when I was doing my phd. #phdchat RT @thesiswhisperer: @interactivate those partners hey?

Shall we summarise? What was the best thing you learned tonight? @stealthpooch I transitioned from working, got a s/ship, and i can't believe they give me so much $ to be self absorbed! #generous #PhDchat Unrelated to money (except where time = money): @zotero 3 is out today! MUCH better reference management than Endnote! #phdchat Well #PhDchat about money is making me thankful for all the opportunities I've had over the last 3 years.

Enjoy participating in #phdchat can show it's possible! Other #phdchat tips: have 3-5 year research program; network with international scholars/journals in your area; chair panels at conferences More #phdchat tips: Research Office may have different grants to Postgraduate Office; know what international teams are doing; use databases When I ran out of PhD scholarship, I chose to work full-time for a few months + save nestegg (that saw me thru to completn). #phdchat At Paddington Station en route to Bath today...meeting with my supervisor at lunchtime #phdchat Congrats, @thesiswhisperer + merry band of #phdchat folk.

I've been doing it the wrong way round! writing review for a book then approaching journals about it #phdchat @LouiseABoyd Oh! No, you definitely have to find a journal with a book it wants reviewing, not the other way around. #phdchat How beneficial is it for your vitae to write book reviews? #phdchat @LouiseABoyd - yup, wrong way around. The journal should be supplying you with the book! #phdchat @lizgloyn I'm a PhD newbie (just started in Oct) so still trying to get the hang of things! #phdchat @profkrg I'd say they're a good start to show you're serious, but after a while you should focus on article manuscripts #phdchat RT @lizith: @NSRiazat @louiseaboyd working on a book review with colleague at present he approached journal editor in first instance #phdchat @SteveCooke @louiseaboyd you may find that some of academic staff in your dept are on editorial boards of journals speak to them #phdchat @SteveCooke oops! I wrote a review as an academic exercise. My supervisor said it was good & I should try to get it published. #phdchat @LouiseABoyd it's great that you found this group so early! #phdchat @LouiseABoyd I'm in my 2nd year and still trying too, lol #phdchat It seems to me that most book reviews are written by well-known scholars in the area. #phdchat @LouiseABoyd I doubt you've wasted your time - some journals do accept unsolicited reviews - check their reviews policy. #phdchat @SteveCooke good point. I guess the only argument is that there are only so many hours in a day. #phdchat @gawbul @LouiseABoyd - Same - am saving posters, conferences and publishing until finished thesis later on this year. #phdchat #PhD @LouiseABoyd did your supervisor give you an idea of where to attempt publishing it? #phdchat @LouiseABoyd Could always stick it on your blog if don't get accepted anywhere? Still exposure :-) #phdchat @profkrg I think the key is to tie it to your research. I asked to review books that I wanted to read & use in my PhD. #phdchat Evening all, sorry I'm late! Looks like a good topic this evening #phdchat @SteveCooke @LouiseABoyd If journal publication isn't going to happen you could still publish (e.g. blog) so it's still 'out there' #phdchat Ive found conferences and book chpaters good for forcing me to get succinct and get clearer on conclusions #phdchat @ChrisSPlant @LouiseABoyd good point. A postgrad journal might also be a good place to sent it. #phdchat @gawbul I never thought of that (although I don't have a blog). Does it get any easier in 2nd year? #phdchat @SteveCooke Yes, this is definitely the approach I take - if a book comes up for review that I'd want to read anyway, I ask for it #phdchat @lizgloyn @SteveCooke Ditto. I find the review process, as well as feeling ok drawing all over the review copy, makes me *learn* it #phdchat @LouiseABoyd it being the phd process? #phdchat RT @thesiswhisperer: in this thoughtful post, @sharmanedit asks important questions about the boycott Elsevier movement http://t.co/MJhYjY8B #phdchat @SteveCooke @ChrisSPlant It has been accepted for my uni's postgrad ejournal but my supervisor wants me to try for other journals. #phdchat hi everyone .. how many conferences do you typically go to in a year? #phdchat @mark_carrigan So true! Nothing like reviewing a book to really make you read it hard and critically. #phdchat But for a publication history for work I now only put in the time on a conf paper if it gets published in proceedings #phdchat just got comments from my committee about my data and results chapters. still on track to defend this spring! #phdchat Oopsie doops, I forgot about #phdchat, was just meeting with the advisor.

Sometimes go to few in one month then in many months none #phdchat @LouiseABoyd check if your postgrad journal keeps copyright - some allow you to publish elsewhere in addition #phdchat @rjhogue At least one. My max has been three. But I've only been going if I've been presenting, so workload has been a factor #phdchat @ai1sa @rjhogue I've only ever gone to one conference where I didn't present. Given logistics + finances don't see point otherwise #phdchat @profkrg yes does being a PhD student get any easier in 2nd year? Do you have a better idea what is expected of you? #phdchat how much can you re-use content? Like, if you do a poster, can you still publish a paper based on the content at a differnt conf? #phdchat Been to 5 conferences, work in 3. Up for 3 more this year (one is hiring conference). #phdchat @gawbul @NSRiazat @LouiseABoyd Same here, although mine are still under review. Hopefully accepted soon! #phdchat @rjhogue You could re-use content, but it depends on what value is added. There are diminishing returns on re-using too many times. #phdchat @rjhogue definitely! large chunks of my presentations get carried from one to the next. find it a very natural way to develop ideas #phdchat @rjhogue I'd say you could do a poster as a paper at a diff conference; problem comes when you give same paper multiple times! #phdchat @LouiseABoyd I found my second year was worse than my first year. But then, I'm in a 4 year program. And no year truly gets better. #phdchat @LouiseABoyd Set one up! I love @posterous :) I think it gets harder, lol! But you realise more that everyone thinks/feels the same #phdchat @rjhogue I have done. Particularly if your ideas develop, as they probably will :) #phdchat I can't image my ideas staying static .. I find they change between the time I submit and the time I present! #phdchat my experience is posters have no to very little value in my uni's measures of academic success. sadly. # phdchat @rjhogue I've seen papers totally repeated at different events so I don't think it's a problem esp if slightly different audience #phdchat @ClaretCarly @NSRiazat @LouiseABoyd Hope so :-) I've been very fortunate (I dislike using lucky) with mine I think #phdchat @rjhogue I've gone to 3-4 conferences per year during my PhD, privileging ones close to home where possible. #phdchat RT @rjhogue: I can't image my ideas staying static . I find they change between the time I submit and the time I present! #phdchat <-me too @LouiseABoyd I found second year better (I'm just starting it now), but I have a better relationship with my supervisor now #phdchat RT @lizgloyn: @NSRiazat For those who missed it: me on tips for conferences: http://t.co/jac4IYKq & writing conf abstracts: http://t.co/wrC8h9CF #phdchat I only attend conferences where I present, unless they are professional and local. #phdchat @rjhogue Went to 5 in year before I started PhD haven't been to any since. Like buses all came along at once! #phdchat @SteveCooke funny, I seem to be privileging ones far away :) ... #phdchat @rjhogue I'd have thought that was the point - do a poster, get feedback, write paper, present paper, get feedback, try to publish..#phdchat @LouiseABoyd I wouldn't say it gets easier. The challenges are just different. #phdchat Much harder in US than UK. RT @profkrg: I only attend conferences where I present, unless they are professional and local. #phdchat @SteveCooke @jhogue Exactly - never do anything unless there are pay-offs or developments that'll lead to publishing #phdchat @rjhogue the poster should have been based on a paper, so it needs to be repurposed a bit. #phdchat @gawbul @NSRiazat @LouiseABoyd It's made me think more about my research so it's been v useful, but I'd love to see them published #phdchat @lizgloyn I guess there is a lot of variation in how people approach or what is considered the right approach in different fields #phdchat @ai1sa @rjhogue me three! :) #phdchat @srossmktg really? what makes you think that? #phdchat @lizgloyn @SteveCooke @jhogue That tweet makes me sad.

What's max travel in UK, 4-5hr drive? Max travel in US, 4-5hr flight (and more expensive!_ #phdchat What about international conferences? I went to my first (in Oslo) last september and loved it. Shame it's so bloody expensive... #phdchat @mark_carrigan Really? I find it exciting to think I can develop *anything* that interests me to publication via conferences! #phdchat @srossmktg ahh... I'm in canada, so I take it for granted that I'll have to fly to get to a conference ... #phdchat @NSRiazat I've tried have 2 publications by the end of the PhD so that I can count towards REF ratings & be more employable. #phdchat @NSRiazat I've tried have 2 publications by the end of the PhD so that I can count towards REF ratings & be more employable. #phdchat RT @lizgloyn: @SteveCooke @jhogue Exactly.never do anything unless pay-offs, developments that lead to publishing #phdchat <- i agree @srossmktg 6 hour flight from NY to California... (Having done it last January... Was presenting though!) & that's without layovers #phdchat Just had an idea: is there a role for multi-author blogs in providing a publishing outlet for research posters? #phdchat Here, USA conferences are not considered international ... so funding depends on NA or international. #phdchat @rjhogue I do agree. Posters are fun to do from time to time but quite time consuming for little return. Prefer oral presentations #phdchat @rjhogue Lol, yeah, for you, maybe to Montreal. Possibly Toronto. I could hook Boston or NYC without flying. #phdchat My program only funds one (maybe two) a year, and only when you're presenting. @rjhogue @srossmktg #phdchat @lizgloyn That was one slow plane .. I can get from Ottawa to Vancouver in 5 hours ... and that is further! #phdchat @lizgloyn Ya, I did Hartford to San Francisco. It was about the same. And that's domestic. ;) Doc consortium in Seattle this June. #phdchat Ditto. And not fully. RT @profkrg: My program only funds 1 (maybe 2) a year, and only when youre presenting. @rjhogue #phdchat @profkrg That's nice way to put it to avoid scaring newbies like me! It's ok I'm expecting it to be hard work, esp publishing #phdchat @profkrg My funding from my program is limited, one north america, one international ... but I'm lucky to get funding elsewhere #phdchat @EmmaBurnettx @rjhogue Yes, I've done 2 posters and not spoken to half as many people as I would if I'd presented #phdchat I'm fortunate because my program hosts the major assoc's mid-winter conference. Cheap and easy way for us to present, if accepted. #phdchat @lizgloyn Definitely, although personally I'm not a fan of doing things for the sake of tradition! Can sometimes be a hindrance #phdchat @rjhogue hahaha NZ means almost all confs are a significant financial cost. Lived experience of knowledge production biases? #phdchat does a poster count as a publication in ur field? my flatmate's a chem engineer&pubs in his CV r all posters, apprently its normal #phdchat @lizgloyn Because it's subjugating everything to publishing...? A reality, sure, but an undesirable one. #phdchat @LouiseABoyd you understand being a phd student much better, but you're realizing how much more you need to learn in your area. #phdchat @SteveCooke @NSRiazat REF really important consideration. Aiming for good journals and at least 3* paper #phdchat So should I be targetting publishing on conference proceedings or articles in journals? #phdchat @coocho Doesn't count in mine, although some conferences offer option - plus it's jolly difficult to do well, as I work on texts! #phdchat @coocho kudos of posters has plummetted for my professional life, not sure if its profession or my uni #phdchat RT @profkrg: @LouiseABoyd you understand being a phd student much better, but youre realizing how much more you need to learn in #phdchat @mark_carrigan I guess I like the idea of getting my work published and out to an audience but this may be discipline-specific #phdchat @lizgloyn My personal view is peer reviewed journals #phdchat 2/1/2012 20:17:18 2/1/2012 20:17:20 2/1/2012 20:17:34 2/1/2012 20:17:59 2/1/2012 20:18:10 2/1/2012 20:18:25 2/1/2012 20:18:42 2/1/2012 20:18:42 2/1/2012 20:19:05 2/1/2012 20:19:12 2/1/2012 20:19:16 2/1/2012 20:19:21 2/1/2012 20:19:49 2/1/2012 20:19:51 2/1/2012 20:20:01

Should point out the REF is for academics post-PhD, not PhD students! #phdchat @lizgloyn Meh, who needs accountability in funding... :P I suppose maybe like an NSF grant, but I'm not typically subject to them. #phdchat @lizgloyn Worried that unless you balance out strategic thinking it ultimately consumes you though :-/ #phdchat anyone have a contact at @ResearchGate - looking to do quick interview with someone in their leadership? #phdchat #ls_chat @lizgloyn @srossmktg Definitely evil!
