I look at it like this:

Adding your supervisor on will add credibility to your work. Ignore whether she contributed enough or not.

Acknowledgement to supervisor and PhD scholarship in a paper?

You would acknowledge the grant that directly paid for your research and time. I don't think you would acknowledge your supervisors grant unless that was used for your research.

I would put that said supervisor as a co-author.

How long would you like the submissions to be? What are the submission criteria?

How many themes to report in a qualitative paper?

Hi,

I am writing a paper on one part of a larger qualitative study that I did. There are 10 themes that are of significance (though more had emerged) and I would like to report them. Is that far too many for a paper? Is there a way to report them all without losing the interest of the reader? They are unique and wouldn’t fit under an umbrella category.

I feel like I have wasted 2 years of my phd!

I think this is pretty normal in social sciences.

I had done nothing at all that could contribute to my thesis at 18 months. But since then things have been moving a lot quicker.

When are you 'done'?

If you've published papers based on your thesis, and your supervisor thinks it is ready, I think you are probably ready to go.

Who can help with editing the Phd thesis

I wouldn't expect supervisor's to edit work. Yes, they could point out a few mistakes here and there, but not full blown editing. Ask your research office, there may be other people who can help with that.

Its hard to say without knowing how much contribution to knowledge and understanding you are making but it looks sufficient. I would say trust your supervisor :)

I would recommend you start reading up on research methods. If you already know what type of research methods you plan to do then you can be even more specific.

For general PhD advice etc read this blog:
