Why do so many people not do research?
Research crushes some of the best and the brightest young minds. Research funding is so tight that some outstanding young scientists don’t get funding. For example, in the regular Canadian Institute of Health Research competition, there was about an 85% failure rate.
Why did I not publish my PhD research?
Although I did well in my PhD, I was so fed up that I didn’t publish my PhD research which was a series of studies on the measurement of social skills. I felt it didn’t do any good and would only be read by a few other scientists. I applied only for clinical jobs. Unfortunately, the clinical job I applied for required I do a bit of research.
How many comments have there been on quitting the PhD?
Two years later it continues to get around 100 hits a day and, the time of writing, there were 183 comments. This is a shed load of data about people’s experiences and thoughts around the subject of quitting the PhD. I started my analysis by putting the comments in Nvivo to identify themes in order to compare them with what we already know.

When to read your research paper over again?

What is an example of a typo in a research paper?
Not only is this typo rampant in papers, but also in emails and online articles. Other examples I’ve come across: “development activities are currently been carried out ”, “in motion along our line of site ”… the list goes on.
Do you have to proofread your own research paper?
Have others check over your writing. If you can’t bring yourself to read your own writing, or can’t distance yourself enough to think about what may or may not make sense, have someone proofread for you. Even if you’ve read over your own paper, you might not be able to catch confusing or illogical wording — after all, you’re the one who wrote it.
What’s the best way to write a research paper?
It is highly recommended not to put irrelevant data that does not support your voice and answer the questions. Also, you don’t need to exceed the length of the research paper unnecessarily without any reason. Never write findings that do not support your cause. Try to limit your recommended word limits.
