While not clearly a slam-dunk reason for failing one's doctorate (at least according to some university guidelines), using generative AI in one's PhD research and writing is a dangerous game, and, we argue, an enterprise in creative self-undermining. www.lexacademic.com/blog/will-i-...

Please read and share our wonderful new Lex Academic guest blog by @kmurphyhollies.bsky.social on completing her PhD-by-papers in Philosophy.

In this guest blog, @kmurphyhollies.bsky.social reflects on her experience of completing a PhD-by-papers, composed of thematically linked papers. She discusses the advantages of this format, including early publishing opportunities and thematic flexibility. www.lexacademic.com/blog/on-doin...

"We all end up writing emails at times we shouldn't. But emailing at all hours makes a mockery of the boundary between work and life." In this blog post, we explore how to manage email during times when we would be better off away from our screens. www.lexacademic.com/blog/how-to-...

This is very true! Often hits home when I read the acknowledgment section of PhD theses

For some academics – especially first-generation academics – returning home can mean encountering a family that has no idea what you do, or what the point of your research is. Why did you dedicate your life to studying the bubbles in washing up liquid? www.lexacademic.com/blog/tis-the...

We are honoured and delighted to receive a five-star review from RiOLG Prof. Dr. Saskia Lettmaier. It was a true pleasure to collaborate with Prof. Dr. Lettmaier on the intricate legal indexes for her monograph with Mohr Siebeck.

As Hannah Laurens argues, a truly outstanding #PhD is one that stands out owing to its original insight. An outstanding PhD is one that pushes boundaries, posits new challenges, and possibly even presents a view that turns things upside down. www.lexacademic.com/blog/passing...

I keep hearing people say that in the digital age, it’s no longer important for books to have an index. I don’t get that at all—there are so many things you can easily find in a good index, but not in a searchable ebook or PDF! Examples are in the comments below (feel free to add more). #AcademicSky

Receiving major corrections presents a much-feared outcome for doctoral candidates. Before we think about how #majorcorrections can be avoided, it is worth addressing the fear itself by understanding the mechanism they are part of. www.lexacademic.com/blog/how-com... #PhDChat #PhDone

@davidbrax.bsky.social An excellent name for this phenomenon, thank you! And there is so much to the question of who can afford to run on hope, who is likely to develop any in the first place, and who manages to claim the calling, so to speak, and draw their hope from that identification.

"If universities operate at all on the basis of free labour, this must be considered a system failure." In our latest guest blog post, @davidbrax.bsky.social broaches the issue of hope labour in higher education. #hopelabour www.lexacademic.com/blog/living-...

While academic research is often replete with spanners in the works, far from fearing such scenarios and treating all curveballs as failures, we should embrace them for affording us the opportunity to “put the problem into the work”. www.lexacademic.com/blog/putting...

At Lex Academic, we relish the exacting task of compiling the index of your scholarly monograph, edited volume, or trade book. We work to very tight deadlines to accommodate the narrow window between receiving page proofs and your publisher's deadline. www.lexacademic.com/services/ind...

It is easy to underestimate how long applying for a PhD can take. The first step to applying for PhD funding is to isolate your academic work from the administrative task of applying for funding. www.lexacademic.com/blog/applyin... #PhDfunding #PhDapplications
