Also completed one. Good luck

well done and welcome to the other club

that is not my field but what about starting from broad to specific. eg
....of Conceptual writing: a case study of ....

When writing an article is it fine to use the same contains of a literature review for two different papers? The themes of the paper are related although the questions addressed are different. Actually the reviewer for the targeted journal suggested that I split the article into two . If both are accepted for publication, what are the implications in terms of copy right with regards to the publishers.

I think one space is the norm

Thanks for the replies. To Dr. Corine and KB you have both addressed my fears. It is my fist paper and conference presentation as well and I would want to do it the right way.

Dear forumers, it is alright to present a paper that has been published at a conference and what are the implications if any?

At the time that I submitted the abstract for the conference, the paper was not published. It has since been published and has also been accepted for an upcoming conference. Would there be any bridge of copy right should the conference decide to publish the conference precedings.

Hi Nevergiveup, I have used one and I have no regrets. If english is not your first language and you can afford it, then go for it. You can also ask friends to help out because some people can not pick up their own errors.

there are hundreds but it can best be chosen by you. just make sure that you are passionate about whatever topic that you choose.

Today I passed with minor corrections.

To all those who shared their stories on this forum and in so doing supported me in one way or the other, I say thank you.

Viva is not the norm where I study but all examiners must concur for you to passed. Today I pass with minor corrections. Degree is in humanities

A group of 6 or seven patiticipants would be ideal. And at least two groups would be appropriate.

A face to face session seems the most ideal

In the humanities or social sciences it is possible. I did not only change the topic, but also the focus and locus of the study.

@Doodles,


thank you for the elaboration. It is informing.

I have just submitted. While thinking ahead I would like to know under what circumstances would one want to do a postdoc. In short, what are the pros and cons of taking on a postdoc position.

Thanks in advance for your opinions
