Overview of thecoastman on PostgraduateForum.com

I suppose you could suggest a few tangents from your research that you'd like to explore. It seems a bit silly to me to do a PhD, then research something in your field but not related at all.

I have a growing list of avenues I'd like to explore with a fellowship after I've finished (just don't have a fellowship to explore them with!)...

Difference between conference and research papersin journals

I get the impression that conference papers are easier to get published (though you will have to present something as has been said previously). They are peer reviewed-ish, but to me it doesn't seem as rigorous as a journal submission.

Conference papers are a good way therefore of getting a few publications under your belt at the start of your academic career.

You're writing for the same audience, but some conference papers focus on specific aspects (e.g. the trial of a new methodology) rather than both method, results and analysis. It means that some conference papers are good springboards for future journal publications.
