'Collaborative research: pros and cons'

#phdchat tweet log - 27th March 2013

@NSRiazat (27/03/13 19:37:06) - Welcome to #phdchat - topic for tonight is 'collaborative research: pros and cons' #phd #highered #doctorate (original tweet)

@peripsyches (27/03/13 19:37:25) - @linguistics12 I don't know. I don't understand the question. Pros and cons?? #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/03/13 19:38:12) - To get us started - is collaborative research something that comes post-doc or during PhD? Experiences? Thoughts? #phdchat (original tweet)

@Joe_DMillerq (27/03/13 19:40:04) - I recommend you read or at least skim several #PhD Theses. It should make you feel confident you can complete one too! #PhDChat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/03/13 19:41:27) - How can we be 'effective' collaborators when working together either on research/papers/thesis or in our work-teams? #phdchat (original tweet)

@CET47 (27/03/13 19:43:08) - I think good communication is key for effective collaborations, currently working on a paper collaboration at the minute #phdchat #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/03/13 19:45:25) - @CET47 - agreed - curious how people merge different working and writing styles when working on collaborative research. #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/03/13 19:45:37) - @lov2teach @Kirstymorton87 particpants are so lovely. Some of mine said same & were shocked as I explained I couldn't use own names #phdchat(original tweet)

@eljeejavier (27/03/13 19:47:01) - @NSRiazat Be clear about who contributes what and/or roles for team. Can be seen as prescriptive but helps manage expectations #phdchat (original tweet)

@the15hfloor (27/03/13 19:47:12) - @NSRiazat Recommend working on collaborations with people from other disciplines - shines a different light on PhD topic #phdchat (original tweet)

@CET47 (27/03/13 19:47:13) - this is my first collaboration, so it will be interesting to see how it goes #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/03/13 19:48:12) - @CET47 @NSRiazat absolutely spot on! Also get difficult stuff out of the way first i.e order of authorship so everyone is clear #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/03/13 19:50:09) - @EmmaBurnettx @CET47 ~ sounds like a challenge to set the 'ground rules' of collaboration beforehand? #phdchat (original tweet)

@_schizometric (27/03/13 19:51:43) - Conducting a systematic review is I'm sure the most sure fire way to kill any remaining passion for research one might have #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/03/13 19:51:49) - @CET47 ~ is collaboration generally face to face or over other media? Guess that brings differing challenges of its own. #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/03/13 19:52:17) - @the15hfloor ~ sounds like a great idea to get different perspectives. #phdchat (original tweet)

@lov2teach (27/03/13 19:52:38) - 4 #pomos today while coding focus group. Enjoy listening to recording. Ideas & questions are popping! #phdchat #phdforum #qualresearch (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/03/13 19:52:42) - @NSRiazat @CET47 makes life much easier! I've used a Framework for Research Collaborators document - roles/responsiblities clear #phdchat(original tweet)

@CET47 (27/03/13 19:52:49) - @NSRiazat generally face to face and through emails #phdchat (original tweet)

@_schizometric (27/03/13 19:53:15) - It is also a way to ensure you spend hours conducting research yet feel like you're making no progress whatsoever #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/03/13 19:54:16) - @lov2teach I'm doing the exact same thing at the moment. It's nice :) Good luck with yours #phdchat (original tweet)

@lov2teach (27/03/13 19:54:52) - @EmmaBurnettx @Kirstymorton87 Yes. Generous w/time &supportive of learning I am committed to maintaining their anonymity. #phdchat #phdforum(original tweet)

@lov2teach (27/03/13 19:56:01) - @EmmaBurnettx Thank you. Same luck to you. Have to break for errands but back at it tonight. #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/03/13 19:56:16) - @CET47 Good luck Carole - look forward to hearing how it goes :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@CET47 (27/03/13 19:56:44) - @EmmaBurnettx thanks :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/03/13 19:56:49) - @lov2teach the breaks are definitely important! :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDStudents (27/03/13 20:01:13) - There is so much #information about #gradschool, but what about the #application process? #phdchat #highered http://t.co/rpCnbnBt1C (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/03/13 20:01:32) - @jadenozzz @Kirstymorton87 I feel the story tells better using names thus the text flows better. You don't want to use names? #phdchat (original tweet)

@SystemsFunking (27/03/13 20:02:00) - Wow, I might come full circle as I start to read the methodology of the arts & humanities! #Stem #phdchat #wtf (original tweet)

@EmmausKevinK (27/03/13 20:04:21) - #phdchat Would be great to have university psycs collaborate w/ field psycs, but that prob happens in postdoc and beyond. (original tweet)

@jadenozzz (27/03/13 20:07:41) - @EmmaBurnettx @Kirstymorton87 agreed. I was thinking today about 'gendering' or 'ageing' participants with the use of names? #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggiesmajors (27/03/13 20:08:38) - PhD Students and advisors: Have you taken the survey on the Evolving Value of the Humanities PhD? http://t.co/IbCkg703DV #PhDchat#DoItNow (original tweet)

@gtombs (27/03/13 20:12:04) - @pollytext definitely! Goal for me - 10k discussion chapter. #phdchat #acwrimo (original tweet)

@MadManderoo (27/03/13 20:15:49) - @NSRiazat #phdchat the whole nature of the PhD is collaborative. Without academic supervisor input, research skills could not develop (original tweet)

@Sharief_H (27/03/13 21:14:17) - @NSRiazat In this regard, collaboration is key, across disciplines or within, via face to face or twitter! #phdchat (original tweet)
