evidence-based view of the realities of PhD life. Full of practical
tips and including a checklist to complete before sending an
application, the book helps prospective PhD students prepare for
the realities of taking on a PhD from an informed basis and offers
guidance on submitting a well-planned application. This is the
first book of its kind to bring together a range of international
data that helps to paint a more balanced picture of the PhD
process. The book outlines different types of PhD, how to select a
topic for a PhD, how to write a robust research proposal and
application, and the realities of PhD study in relation to student
wellbeing, social commitments and employment prospects. By
considering the issues raised in this book, students are less
likely to be overwhelmed by the PhD process, and better equipped to
complete their award. The book will be invaluable for potential
doctoral students as well as those already embarking on a PhD. It
will also enable university mentors and supervisors to consider how
the application phase is key to managing student expectations, and
how they can further promote a healthy and productive PhD
experience.

This book offers the first comprehensive guide to poster
presentation at academic, scientific and professional conferences.
Each chapter explores different factors that impact upon how
posters function, and how they fit within today's conference
practices, as well as provides guidance on how to address
compilation and presentation issues with the poster medium. Drawing
from fields of education, psychology, advertising and other areas,
the book offers examples of how theories may be applied to practice
in terms of both traditional paper and electronic poster formats.
Importantly, the book offers a critical examination of how academic
and scientific posters are able to achieve their potential for
knowledge dissemination, networking and knowledge transfer. The
many new and challenging findings provide an evidence-based
approach to help both novice and experienced presenters compile
effective poster presentations, and to see how poster presentations
can best be used to share knowledge, facilitate networking, and
promote dialogue. Additionally, educators, employers, and
conference organizers may use this book to re-evaluate how
conferences meet the needs of today's globally connected peer
groups, and the benefit they provide at individual and group
levels.
