candygirl4real: chaiks: To apply for scholarships/funded programs: You will need to search online, just type on google. You will need to visit Universities websites, search for advertised positions on Researchgate.com and mendeley.com, some government scholarship like Korean and Turkish Governments scholarships etc. What are my chances of gaining a scholarship or being funded? Don’t be fooled, scholarships and funding are highly competitive since there are many students trying to get funding or scholarships for their studies worldwide. Even though some scholarships depend on outstanding academic records such as ‘merit-based scholarships’, your chances of success are often determined by the quality and content of your application. The fastest way to get your scholarship/funding application rejected from the pile is to apply for a scholarship for which you do not qualify. The judge or evaluator for each scholarship has a set of criteria that are used to rate the applicants. Some specific points that are usually considered (Take note, this is not universally true) for PhD applicants: A. Quality of CV (academic strength, specific and multidisciplinary skills/experience, results etc) B. Research strength (type, number and quality of publications) C. Work Experience (not a must) D. Community Service (not a must depending on the field) E. Honours and Awards (Taken into consideration) F. Leadership and membership (such as a member of important society related to your field of studies/research) G. Extracurricular Activities H. Research Proposal (how relevant is the proposal to the university/department or quality of solution its estimated to solve, novelty and significance or statement of purpose. I. Recommendation/References: Don't underestimate the power of a recommendation. When it comes to recommendations/reference letters, choose wisely, selecting a reputable ref that has a quality CV and established profile online not the professors/teachers that only claim what does not exist but can't be traced or not reputable. Ensure you choose who knows you well and can articulate your case clearly and powerfully. Start be evaluating yourself truly and honestly if you are shot in any aspect, work to improve on it.

Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 12:13pm On Oct 01, 2018 |
OvaSabi1: You Don't Have To Struggle Alone. There are lots of statistical models used in various fields. First, you need to identify which statistical or analytical experience/skills you want to learn. Then experience people will point you in the direct direction. Online, there are a bunch of free and paid resources that you can get and learn from. In brief, what do you want to learn, how serious are you, what resources do you have at your disposal and how often will you use your new skills? And what for? 3 Likes 3 Shares |

wip7: I want to publish papers in journals and I am considering a PhD. I am talking about sample size determination techniques, reliability instruments and statistical tools for testing hypothesis. I want to to publish in journals to increase PhD scholarship chances. We have a library where I just started teaching. I will go on Wednesday. I got an Accounting journal and I couldn't understand most of the analysis part. I want to be confident with writing a robust paper. High validity and reliability, technical but understandable. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hi! I am about to finish my education and one of the most important tasks is to write a big research. Im out of time and I was recommended to BuyAnEssay. Do you think that it is a big crime to show your teacher not your work? I am not sure that I can do it on my own as well as it should be. |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 2:47pm On Oct 01, 2018 |
OvaSabi1:. Consider the following to make your publishing journey feasible: 1. Identify the research you will work on 2. Consider reading at least 30 reputable articles and some books as secondary sources (literature review) 3. Focus on both the theoretical model, hypothesis and methodology 4. Formulate your research title and work on study area/respondent or primary data sources. Below, I will provide some brief intro to your quest How to Determine Sample Size Before you can calculate a sample size, you need to determine some parameters as described below: 1. Population Size — How many total people fit your demographic? For instance, if you want to know about mothers living in the US, your population size would be the total number of mothers living in the US. Not all populations sizes need to be this large. Even if your population size is small, just know who fits into your demographics. Don’t worry if you are unsure about this exact number. It is common for the population to be unknown or approximated between two educated guesses. 2. Margin of Error (Confidence Interval) — No sample will be perfect, so you must decide how much error to allow. The confidence interval determines how much higher or lower than the population mean you are willing to let your sample mean fall. If you’ve ever seen a political poll on the news, you’ve seen a confidence interval. For example, it will look something like this: “68% of voters said yes to Proposition Z, with a margin of error of +/- 5%.” 3. Confidence Level — How confident do you want to be that the actual mean falls within your confidence interval? The most common confidence intervals are 90% confident, 95% confident, and 99% confident. 4. Standard of Deviation — How much variance do you expect in your responses? Since you haven’t actually administered your survey yet, the safe decision is to use 0.5. Calculating Sample Size You can use the expression below to estimate your sample size: Sample Size = (Z-score)2 * StdDev*(1-StdDev) / (margin of error)2 Your confidence level corresponds to a Z-score. This is a constant value needed for this equation. Here are the z-scores for the most common confidence levels: 90% – Z Score = 1.645 95% – Z Score = 1.96 99% – Z Score = 2.576 Here is an example of how the math works assuming you chose a 95% confidence level, 0.5 standard deviation, and a margin of error (confidence interval) of +/- 5%. ((1.96)2 x .5(.5)) / (.05)2 (3.8416 x .25) / .0025 .9604 / .0025 =384.16 385 respondents are needed 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 7:21am On Oct 02, 2018 |
cordovakari: Your message is highly contradictory. Sounds like you are trying to promote the website of selling Essays. You said big research, there is nothing like big or small research. There is no connection between you buying an essay and a research. An essay is different from a research. Research: is a creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge, to provide solutions or establish facts and reach new conclusions and sustainable answers to challenges. cordovakari: Yes, its the biggest crime a person would commit in an academic environment. In a practical sense, its called misrepresentation and this attitude are very common with unserious, irresponsible and ill-prepared persons. Consider this: IF a student submits purchased essays and articles as their own. In such a case the external help is rightfully considered cheating/robbery/fraud/crime/assault/rape because a learner uses someone’s work with no input or effort of their own. If, on the other hand, a student does their best to understand how an essay is written, extract some tips, and use it as guidance to write their own piece, then the practice becomes educational. Tips: Spend time and be focussed on your academic pursuit. Find supporting friends, get access to many free resources online to guide you! Best wishes 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Nice thread here. I am a graduate of Philosophy (B.A) Hons. Going for M.A Diplomatic Studies. What doctorate specialization can I study? |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 7:58pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
mustyy: Both fields are okay and in demand. However, you need to consider what you personally have interests on, where you plan to work and settle down. Some program or courses are not common in some countries while some have higher demand and facilities to carry out research. So consider all those and make your decision.
