I was recently invited to give a talk to a group of research students at my university currently applying for funding from the Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme. Specifically, my topic was to be on Gantt charts since the programme application guidelines indicated that while not compulsory, applicants could certainly include one.

Organising the chaos… EndNote and Word
I like to think that every challenge I have encountered on my PhD pathway is a lesson learned and worth documenting on my blog so I (and any interested reader) can benefit from my experience. This post was prompted by a few recent events – addressing minor typographical errors in my thesis, preparation to submitContinue reading “Organising the chaos… EndNote and Word”

Didn’t I already crack referencing withContinue reading “Organising the chaos… EndNote part 2”

I have, however, been reading a lot in the months since I shared my rationale in this post for wanting to use Nvivo for my literature review. I haveContinue reading “Organising the chaos… Nvivo and the literature”
Organising the chaos… towards a literature review

I liked this since it emphasised that I was not yet at my destination and I have used it on a number of occasions since, with ‘contribution‘ being another preferred word when it comes to titles for myContinue reading “Organising the chaos… towards a literature review”
