Tips for Success

1. Create new knowledge in your research.
2. Listen to, understand, and follow the advice of your dissertation chair (from the start)
3. and committee members (usually starting when your main adviser says your draft proposal is good enough for you to defend your proposal formally with everyone in your committee)
4. as well as peer debriefing of your co-PhD sojourners
5. and the constructive feedback of the external committee members (starting from the actual defense and revisions thereafter).
6. Note that each case is different.
7. Your main adviser takes the lead.
8. There are no hard and fast rules. Follow the requirements and author guidelines of your professors, department, college, university, and journals to whom and to which you are submitting your papers.
9. Each university and each journal have different author guidelines.
10. All the best in your research, writing, and publishing endeavors. Be encouraged.

Writing Style

1. Everything you write must be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-Bound (SMART)
2. Keep it short and simple (KISS)
3. A child should understand what you write and say (Feynman Technique: Feynman is a Nobel laureate in physics)
4. Anyone should understand what you write and say (Orwellian democratic writing)
5. Avoid jargons like a plague.
6. Avoid passive voice.
7. Just a reminder: There are two outline templates in the department: one is from PYU itself; another one was the revised version that Dr Ly created. She shared both of them to all of us during several workshops. She said repeatedly you can pick one (PYU) or the other (Dr Ly’s revision).
8. Check grammar, spelling, formats and all author guidelines before submission.
