Quote From sneaks:

I've not written my abstract yet, but it will be under an A4 page, 1.5 spaced.

My word count (at the moment) per chapter is (ish)

Intro - 1,850
Lit review - 13,450
Method - 8,500
Study 1 - 13,210
Study 2 - 9,140
Study 3 - 11,750
Discussion - about 3,000 and counting - I reckon it will be about 6,000 though.

Thank you sneaks, that really helps. For some reason I remember someone saying that Lit review should be about 20,000 words? I suppose if minimum is 80,000 then maybe that makes sense?

Quote From sneaks:

Wow I have no idea how many pages mine is....runs off to check! (awaits word freaking out at document combining!)

Did Mendeley freak out?

Actually no :-) but because I created each chapter in differnt documents and used different versions of references, its citing lots of (2009a) (2009b) (2009c) which are actually all the same references, I'm going to have to do a long check for duplicates and make sure I don't delete the ones with the right info in (some have missing authors or journal names).

Cool! Would you recommend I write my whole thesis in one document? Btw what referencing style are people using? My uni doesn't recommend any. I like the (John et al., 2010) but can't seem to find that in Mendeley?

Quote From ady:

looks like I do. It seems new, only 1 volume (2011), 3 issues, is that correct?

PM what you need, no problem if you need a good few. Still trying to redeem myself after the ProQuest failure!

Thank you so much Ady, you are very helpful! I'll PM you :)

Quote From jullie:

I have access, but I haven't used it much, so I'm not sure if I'll only have the abstract as well... Send me a PM and I can give it a try.

I'll pm you now. Thanks!

Quote From ady:

Um, now am officially mortified :$

I have tried and tried but can't get past the abstract or preview of the thesis Chococake wants, despite uni-library appearing to subscribe to Proquest dissertations and theses database. Can anybody else access full text dissertations?

Really sorry about that Chococake:-(

Thank you very much Ady for trying for me :)

I wish I had gone for a mac. But its too late.

I have a Toshiba with i5 processor, 500gb and 4gb ram, and its working perfectly. I think I bought it for around £500 from PC World. Look out for the sale.
