Recommended External Resources for Ph.D Researchers

SWR100 contains various resources in written, video, and hyperlink form. The majority of resources and hyperlinks in the Modules focus on universal writing principles and techniques to move you through the Pre-Writing and Writing stages. We wanted to provide our Ph.D candidates with easier access to Ph.D specific resources that fall outside of SWR100's focus on universal principles. The links contained below are recommended for more Ph.D specific information and approaches to navigating and managing your Ph.D.
