Slicing and dicing your PhD

There is increasing pressure for PhD students to not only undertake their research and prepare their thesis, but to also publish as they go. The pressure to publish is prompted by the ever present need of academics to produce published outputs, but publishing from ones PhD also has the additional benefit of having ones material quality assured and critically evaluated prior to submission of a thesis. This workshop examined the arguments for and against publishing as you go, with a strong bias towards encouraging doctoral students to write conference and journal papers, in addition to their thesis.
