Yes I understand what you are saying, to not opress him he is interesting in developing me as a PHD student and gave me good feedback for my current research. On the other hand he is interested in publishing papers.

My main question is , is it normal that a PHD student to do most of the work or should the work be devided on the doctor and the student?
Doing most the work does not mean that the paper going to be weak.

Doing most of the research work

Hello,
I was talking to a doctor that I am considering doing my PHD with. He is in a different university. I was discussing my research with him when he asked me to work with him on another research in a different field. He asked me to do most of the work where his job is to guide me. He knows and I know that I don't need his guidance but to publish it I need a doctor's name.

My questions:
My friends told me it is common that PHD students will do most of the work and the doctor will add his name with you. Do you agree or not?

As a PHD student and on scholarship is it expected from me to work on publishing papers beside my dissertation? though it is not required in the scholarship contract

If I don't accept doing a lot of research beside my PHD work, could they deny my application?

My friend told me a (PHD) that the main reason for them giving you a scholarship is to help them publishing papers though that won't say that straightforward, do you think this is true?

The scholarship is tuition free beside small amount of mony that is enough for my daughter's diapers so I need to keep working to get another income, and this is why I am not very happy to do a lot of extra work though it is good for my resume.

Thank you,
Mohammad
