PhD day at the MN Faculty- April 9 @ VilVite

A PhD survival camp

PhD life is full of questions. In which journal should I publish? What are the pitfalls when writing? How do I find funding for publishing fees? Do I need a data management plan? (Spoiler: Yes, you do!) Which data to include in one? How do I increase visibility of my work? How do I spot «junk» or «fake» science? Have I overlooked relevant literature?

The MN Library offers PhD candidates a seminar addressing these questions: April 10th, 9:00 -16:00,  Auditorium at VilVite
