verdy, thank you very much. I've just started listing them according to advice here, and I'll try to be as specific as I can; I think you are right.

yes, I see what you mean juno. It sounds right.
Thank you.

Thank you Cryogenics. Yes, it helps. Do you think I should give examples of where I could submit these papers? A few possible future conferences or journals?

I think this forum has been inspiring to many student writers. I have a feeling like Patrick Tomlin follows this forum regularly.

I would be grateful for any help on this. There isn't an application form, but the University is asking for a statement that includes things specified by them. One section of this statement needs to state "detailed and clear plans for publications from the PhD thesis". I find this a bit confusing. Should I actually include future conferences and journal articles that I might be able to submit papers to, or just clarify some (publishable) chapters and results from my PhD thesis?

I haven't yet submitted my thesis. I don't want to be too specific at this stage as some of the information is confidential. What do you think?

Thank you in advance...

Hi PGFteam. If you listen to coastman and decide to join the conversation (I have a feeling that you are monitoring the forum silently), could you consider putting some editing tools on the forum? Things like being able to make the text bold, align text and put space between letters?

oh no, you are right insomniac, but it wasn't meant to be a cross. It was going to be a bigger image filling the text area but I got bored... a cross would be scary

true... It looks like you only have one, and that's "Heyyyy baaaaaaabbyyyyyy", not "baby"

but dazednconfused's "baaaaaby" was a bit Austin Power like. So that doesn't count . I'm afraid you are going to have to take Sue's "baby" back and hold on to it.
