Reflecting on the role of emotions in the PhD process
Full text linkThis research project examined the role of emotions in the PhD process through an exploratory, qualitative, self reflective study by six recent or current PhD candidates. Despite differences in the nature of the PhD fields of study, and in the personal backgrounds of the participants, a number of common themes were recognised. We developed an interactive workshop for postgraduate students in which participants were asked to reflect on their emotional experiences in their own studies. The combined information from these sources was used to suggest some strategies for management of negative emotions that may arise during the PhD process. Of critical importance is the multiple roles of the PhD supervisor in helping manage the negative emotions that most PhD students inevitably experience at some stage in their candidature. Most important, though, is the role of self reflection in identifying potential emotional problems and their solutions; a process we recommend to PhD candidates and supervisors

PhD students: making research and publishing
No full textPhD student time is very interesting in the life of researchers. Many of them are young
graduates, without or with very few experience in the field of scientific research. During four
years, they must become experts in a narrow field (virtually, the subject of their PhD thesis), but
at the same time they have to be trained for research and for publishing. Is it possible? It is
mandatory!
PhD students start with a one year training in the basic field of research during which they
attend different courses regarding how to search the literature, how to perform research, how to
perform statistical analysis, how to prepare a paper, where and how to publish and so on.
Following this training year, together with their mentor (the coordinator of the PhD thesis), the
PhD student starts working on the thesis. And this means reading as much as possible significant
published data regarding his/her subject, proper research (basic, experimental, or clinical), and
finally preparing papers for publication (in the beginning as abstracts for different meetings and
later as original articles in dedicated journals).Participation of PhD students to different meetings
is important to improve the quality of their research as an exercise for oral presentations. On the
other hand, oral presentation is useful because the paper is open for discussion and corrections
can be made during and after the oral presentation. During last ten years, there were organized
conferences for PhD students and young doctors, particularly in Târgu Mureș and Timișoara. It
was a good opportunity to show results, to discuss and to cooperate.This is why in December
2016, the Doctoral School of Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy decided to
organize a scientific competition between PhD students, in an interesting scientific session. The
top 10 PhD students (according to the cumulative Impact Factor of their first author publications)
were invited to present their scientific research in a 12 minutes oral presentation followed by
discussions, in an open scientific session. Also, the other PhD students were invited to send
abstracts for a poster session. The best papers from both oral and poster sessions were rewarded
with consistent prizes.
This supplement of Research and Clinical Medicine journal is the result of the PhD poster
scientific session. It is in the intention of the Doctoral School to follow very closely the scientific
results (published papers) of our PhD students, and the best publications will be rewarded. The
abstracts published in this supplement can be read and discussed by the other PhD students, by
the Academic society and maybe followed by interesting suggestions for the authors. It is our
intention to continue to organize such scientific meeting and to transform them from events to a
tradition
