PhD Preparation Tips: How To Find Journal Articles To Read During A PhD

Most people will tell you to go to Google Scholar to find articles to read for your PhD, or graduate school, but this is the absolute worst way to read find interesting articles to read. This assumes that you have unlimited resources to read at will.

By the way, this video is especially for those that are entering or thinking about going into a PhD.

This is an important PhD preparation tip for finding journal articles to read during your PhD. What I would do is:

Pick the top 5-10 people in your area. Read their work.

Pick the top 1-5 journals in your area. Read the latest articles in those journals.

Look at the latest PhD syllabus in your area, and pick interesting articles to read.

Once you have an idea of what you are interested in during your PhD, then start reading about that topic, but be careful to stay within your knowledge domain.

Your job is to write as you read. Do not get stuck in searching / reading cycles.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.

https://r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform

A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people’s documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.

The goal of the platform is to get people to ‘pay it forward’ and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
