Ten drafts to complete your PhD

Ten drafts to complete a PhD is a book of propulsive purpose. Only 1% of the world's population holds a PhD. But attrition rates remain high. Tara Brabazon provides a concrete strategy to complete a doctorate. Structured through ten drafts, the goal is to - iteratively - improve the PhD dissertation or thesis to enable a successful examination.

Each chapter of this book offers a guide through a specific draft and focus for the thesis. From transitions to references, from a Significant Original Contribution to Knowledge (SOCK) through to the introduction and conclusion, this book takes a raw, messy and fragmented first draft and creates a PhD of meaning, purpose and excellence.
