Do Nigerian universities appoint people that ain't university lecturers but who work in research institutes - government's or private and publish research findings in academic journals, as professors? I mean do they give professorial titles (appointments) to great and well-published non-lecturing researchers? |

PhD in 2 years is for geniuses; in three years might be possible but to finish without a single journal publication is a waste of time. The average time spent in earning a good PhD is 3.5 years anywhere in the world. samtol4: 5 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Thread For PHD Students by ahamdiheme: 9:18pm On May 26, 2015 |
Yes there is the thing called a poor PhD where the candidate learns almost nothing about research, teaching or mentoring younger researchers. Such a PhD can be viewed as a glorified MSc just with a different title. Lots of schools award such degrees because it makes their records look good. To throw more light on the issue of publication, having an internationally peer reviewed journal article (not conference) published is not a piece of cake. In the US and some other parts of the world where course work and qualification exam among others, are part of the requirements for graduation; it would be extremely tough to obtain a PhD within two years. PhD + MSc combined programmes exist but even those take 4-6 years to complete. Again, only an exceptional genius can obtain a good PhD within two years.

ahamdiheme:Publication in international journal is only difficult when you are in Nigeria but if you are in Overseas your supervisor will be a link to publish in reputable journals Infact many reputable journals are available for PhD students to showcase their research.Is it necessary for PhD student to write coursework again after completing coursework in Msc ?or is that a parameter to say a PhD is good?"A lot of schools award such"Please can you mention some of the schools so that members of this forum can avoid them |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by ahamdiheme: 6:36am On May 27, 2015 |
Don't be deceived, peer reviewed journal articles are not a piece of cake, even renowned scholars get rejections sometimes; there is no guarantee that your research work will be published on first attempt. I am speaking authoritatively. In the US and other places like Turkey it is mandatory to: 1. Complete 21 units of course work (7 courses) 2. Pass a qualifying exam 3. Publish a quality article with journal indexed in ISI 4. Write and defend PhD thesis Those are the requirements for graduation. After completing all those steps it is difficult to say one has not done quality research and learnt extensively. samtol4: 4 Likes 1 Share |

ahamdiheme:No one is been deceived here .I am not a novice in the subject matter .Peer reviewed journals are not for Ghost or spirit it is human being research that is been accepted .You can't have all research accepted every time .There is time for rejection and acceptance .So indirectly schools that don't do coursework are not producing good PhD? 1 Like |

OK. I have not said that schools that do not do course work don't produce good PhDs, Oxford University, one of the best in the world does not require coursework for PhD candidates. I brought up the coursework issue and quality of PhD because of your stating that schools outside Nigeria award PhDs within 2-3 years. That's very misleading for those that don't know because even in Oxford, Harvard or MIT; PhDs are rarely completed in that time. A more realistic estimate would be 3-4 years, with or without coursework. Of course papers are published by humans and every PhD candidate should have the potential to have papers accepted but I stressed the tough publication process because you stated that it is easy with your supervisor or some PhD-candidate-supporting journal... Please don't misunderstand me. samtol4: 3 Likes |

Each country adopts a specific approach to their Doctorate programmes based on their long term vision for research and development. I don't think any approach is absolute or tested as the best. Yes, peer-reviewed journals are very important in acquiring a PhD degree. I wrote three journals towards completing my PhD anyway. 7 Likes 1 Share |
