Does anyone have access to the following paper:

Brabham, D. (2006) Crowdsourcing the public participation process for planning projects. Planning Theory, 8 (3), 242-262.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hello.

You may benefit from taking a look at http://www.qiqqa.com.

The software is written specifically for post graduates who need to deal with the massive amounts of documents one has to read in the course of a PHD/similar.

It aims to get you through your work quicker (hence "qiqqa"). It's free.

All the best.

Hi Nik,

Qiqqa looks really good. Does it support sub-folders and also how well does it support referencing? Is it automated?

would you apply?

Morning folks :)

Two goals for today:

1. Collect and read papers
2. Sort them out

Writing. Is it something you can learn?

Not sure if this would help but there is a great reousrce at Manchester University - the academic phrase bank. I find it really useful in finding new ways to say what someone said (if that makes sense). If nothing else it makes writing sound less boring!

This is a great resource (up), thank you so much. I'm tempted to individually download it, incase it dissapears in a years time or so. Thanks! :-)

I am currently sorting things in Mendeley via the use of folders. I'm not sure it is the most effective way, but seems to be working for now.

If they are going to cover your tution fee, surely they'd cover your international tution fee?

I suppose if you are funded, it make complicate things if you finish too early. However, it is certainly good news, at least you know you are on the right track! Congrats! :)

too young to do a PhD?

There are alot of students that start their PhD when they are 21/22, depending on whether they took a year out to do their masters. I would have thought most students would be around that age.

Or just do as I do, think "what's the worst than can happen" and just send it without thinking about it all too much :-)

That made me smile :)

Quote From DanB:

Depends on relationship you have really. If she's the type you could have knocked on the door and asked a question easily, then email. If she's the type who hates being bothered other than in supervisions, perhaps wait.

Thanks DanB. I don't think she would mind me knocking at her door, as she is really really nice. But even nice people don't like being bothered ...*confused look*
