Why do you say that Otto?

Has anyone heard of anyone finishing their PhD in 2 years? I have enough data to start writing up but have funding for three years so it may be better to carry on and try to get more publications before having to look for a job. Any opinions on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the replies, i spoke to my superviser and he's given me lots of pointers.

Just wondering what other people's experiences are of writing papers, I'm in the middle of writing one at the moment. How much input should I be expecting from my supervisor and how important is the order of the authors? My field is biological sciences.

Thanks for all the replies everyone! I do have access away from Uni as well, but I always find it far easier to read things when they are on paper and in a "glossy magazine" so I think I will get a subscription. Thanks for the tip about the podcasts as well anonGerman, will defenitely check them out.

I am a PhD student in life sciences and was thinking about taking a personal subsription to one of the big journals (Nature or Science) just so that I have them at home to flick through. I think it would improve my general knowledge of current research. I do have access to them when I am at Uni, but I never seem to have time to read them whilst i'm there. Does anyone think this is a good idea, or am I just wasting money?
Thanks

I started my PhD straight after I finished my MSc, in fact I didn't get my Masters result until the October and started my PhD in the September. I had a 2i in my undergrad degree so they gave me an unconditional offer.

Does anyone know if JabRef can be used to insert citations into MS Word? Do you need an add-on?
