Summary: Only one article of the thesis can be presented in co-authorship; The PhD student must sign all the articles of the thesis as first author.
Can two people work on a PhD?
It depends on the field, but each person must have their own original conclusion. I’ve seen papers where two people equally contribute to the work, like creating libraries of reagents and have a fair share of experiments. But then they each can choose a sub-project with its own story.
Can two people do PhD on same topic?
You can pursue a second Ph. D. on the same broad subject. But the main issue is that you have to choose a totally different topic (different from the topic of your first Ph.
What is the corresponding author?
A corresponding author is the individual who, when working on a paper with multiple authors, takes primary responsibility for communicating with the journal you intend to publish in. The corresponding author usually makes themselves available throughout the process to respond to editorial queries.
Should I Ask my supervisor to help me with my PhD?
Asking your supervisor about this is definitely a good idea, though. I think it is common and well-known that the supervisor sometimes helps the PhD student. In fact, the main work of the supervisor is giving ideas that they come up with due to their experience and knowledge.
Can affiliation and control improve PhD-supervisor relationships?
Although research suggests that providing extra mentoring support and striking the right balance between affiliation and control can help improve PhD success and supervisor relationships, there is little research on the types of PhD-supervisor relationships that occur.
Is it okay to cite an unpublished PhD thesis on my CV?
In most cases, I would argue, it’s fine to cite it. You are at liberty to cite an unpublished PhD thesis in journal/public articles – hence why most citation conventions I.e APA identify how to do so. It’s obviously more than fine to include it on your CV as well.
Should my supervisor be one of the authors of my Paper?
If the result is important enough for a stand alone publication, i.e. if you are writing a paper out of it, your supervisor deserves to be one of the authors (then again, this should be rather common for most papers written by a PhD student…). If you are in doubt, ask your supervisor about it.
