- Analysing Data For Your PhD: An Introduction: PhD Knowledge, #3

Analysing data is perhaps the most demanding stage of research - and certainly the least visible.

- Gathering Data For Your PhD: An Introduction: PhD Knowledge, #2

You can't do research without data. But what kind of data will help you answer your research question? Where can you find that data? And how much data do you need? If you're doing doctoral research, particularly in the social sciences, arts, or humanities, this fully updated second edition will help you answer those questions. It offers an overview of traditional and innovative methods of gathering quantitative, qualitative, secondary and primary data. The book also outlines the pros and cons of devising your own method of gathering data, and lists a range of resources for further exploration of the methods that interest you most.
- Writing Your PhD: An Introduction: PhD Knowledge, #4

When people sign up for doctoral study, they don't always realise that in the process they need to write a book. The doctoral thesis or dissertation is the length of an average paperback. Even people studying for a professional doctorate, or a PhD by publication, need to write the equivalent of a short literary novel. Writing so much can be a daunting prospect. This fully updated second edition e-book is filled with practical advice and tips to get you started and help you keep going.
- Research Ethics For Your PhD: An Introduction: PhD Knowledge, #5

If you are doing research with people or animals, you will have to engage with formal systems of ethical governance. Whether or not this is the case, you may have an interest in ensuring your doctoral research is ethical, or even be studying ethics itself. This fully updated second edition e-book introduces the theory and practice of ethical research. It also outlines your options, from ticking the boxes for formal ethical approval to a fully integrated ethical approach at all stages of your doctoral research.
