The Chronicle Productivity Guide to Research

A lot can get in the way of making time for research -- whether it’s teaching and service responsibilities or a day job outside of academe. But academic career success often depends on producing valuable research -- and even if your institution emphasizes teaching, your desire to contribute to human knowledge may be why you earned a doctoral degree in the first place.



Filled with advice and insights from experienced academics, and specific steps you can take, this guide will assist you in the initial stages of planning your research, keep you going when you’re in the thick of it, and help you figure out when to wrap up and what to do next.



Gain insight into these key areas:



• Planning your project

• Financing the research

• Getting through it -- successfully

• Wrapping up and looking ahead
