Successful Research Supervision: Advising students doing research
" a fabulous resource for graduate advisors" Eric Mazur, Harvard University
Successful Research Supervision offers a research-based practical framework for academics to be able to examine and further develop their effectiveness as research supervisors.
Research supervisors working in all levels of higher education must ensure that their students gain efficiencies from working as part of an effective cohort and develop high levels of interdisciplinary understanding and critical thought. To impart these disciplines effectively is essential for any successful research supervisor. From helping researchers to begin to managing a project through to successful completion, this book guides the reader through a series of exercises to identify their individual strengths and weaknesses and then provides theoretically sound advice in a practical and easy to use format. Successful Research Supervision is full of examples of the best practice from outstanding scientists, social scientists and humanities supervisors from both the UK and the USA.

This is a strong book that offers an unusual take on supervision. The attention is on enculturation of doctoral candidates. The focus on socialization - the development of cultures of doctoral education - is excellent.
The culture of supervision is difficult to understand and configure. This book explores how to create a social matrix for doctoral students.
