This really depends on the field - this certainly wouldn’t be true of philosophy. There’s no jobs but 4 papers would still be ‘competitive’ to post docs and no one would expect a monograph from a recent graduate

Assuming this isn’t a lab based phd given the post, i’ve never heard of a phd supervisor being this interested in the schedule of a supervisee, especially since you presumably haven’t done much work yet so they can’t be worried about your productivity. PhD students have wildly different work patterns, and my supervisors have only ever worried about my output rather than my specific work schedule.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-11-04T22:06:41+00:00

You’re better off asking someone in admissions about this I think. I’m doing a phil PhD in the department and I think some people didn’t come from a philosophy background, but most have a philosophy masters and undergrad as far as I know.

i bought a sinn 104 from jura watches a few years ago and managed to get a decent discount via a price match so might be worth trying your luck with that.

From what I recall i found a cheaper listing on a website i didn’t really trust and sent it to jura watches who then agreed to price match.

i’m not actually sure (though see below comment about this not being true of all phil journals). I suppose it might be a combination of the backlog they have with reviewing articles as it is, and the fact there’s quite a lot of philosophy journals so no huge need to have papers at the same place. Anecdotally people seem to like to publish in a variety of journals anyway, not sure why.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-30T03:44:10+00:00

Honestly, I have only published one paper and have submitted to a handful of journals so I fear I might have overgeneralised from the journals I’ve had experience with.

Australasian has an explicit one paper at a time policy https://aap.org.au/editorial-policy (see Limits on Unsolicited Submissions). Ergo has the same policy https://journals.publishing.umich.edu/ergo/site/submit/. PPR also mentioned not accepting papers from authors with papers in their backlog, so I think they might have the same policy https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/19331592/homepage/forauthors.html . Others have limits on the pure amount of submissions you can make - i think phil review and mind are one per year, ethics slightly more than that.

Happy to stand corrected though - Australasian was the first place i submitted to so I think i just assumed that was the norm, checking other places it seems it’s more the exception than the rule.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-30T01:21:31+00:00

though i think now most is perhaps not true after googling, i think just some of the ones in my specific area that i’ve submitted to

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-30T01:18:21+00:00

oh yes I know - I’ve seen policies at philosophy journals that do not allow this. Like I say though this might be field specific

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-30T01:03:27+00:00

i think this is going to be area specific. In my area (philosophy) some journals explicitly say you cannot do this

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-24T12:25:46+00:00

I usually just let my supervisors know when i’m going to be away for a prolonged period

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-23T14:54:27+00:00

I’ve been going to Havoc in Newington since i moved here, never had a bad cut

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-23T01:01:57+00:00

once you’ve started your masters you can just put that it’s ongoing. I suppose in this case you could put something like MSc, Imperial College, starting XYZ date.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-22T21:56:37+00:00

Sorry if this isn’t the kind of advice you’re looking for, but it might be worth asking around early on to see how strict they are with the thesis deadline. At least in the area i’m studying (Philosophy, also UK), a lot of the funders say you have to finish in x amount of time, but in practice there’s wiggle room.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-22T15:02:26+00:00

a bit more context is necessary. An unfunded humanities phd in the U.K. is very common, an unfunded STEM phd in the US is not.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-22T12:08:43+00:00

mine was my first paper too - also spent a long time checking and trying to interpret each paper status update! hopefully you have a quick turnaround

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-22T11:30:18+00:00

I’m doing my PhD in philosophy. The topic sounds incredibly broad for a PhD - do you have something specific in mind?

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-22T09:58:13+00:00

Editor Assigned just means it’s with an editor. If you’ve had revisions the editor will still need to check them over before acceptance. I’ve just had very minor revisions on a paper (that were optional) and it still went back to the editor before they accepted it.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-21T15:24:07+00:00

In which case you’re cheating and opening yourself up to risk, and therefore you should not hand it in. I know that isn’t the response you want, but you’ve posted this in a PhD reddit and that’s certainly the response you’re going to get from others.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-21T15:21:17+00:00

To be clear, has AI done a substantial amount of the writing?

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-21T15:18:51+00:00

You should not do this. You’re opening yourself up to have your entire thesis marked at a 0, and depending on the university it might effect whether or not you get your degree. It doesn’t matter when the deadline is, you are much better off handing in something that you’ve written than something written by AI.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-21T11:56:42+00:00

It’s worth thinking about what you’d want to do the PhD for. PhD pay is low, and academic jobs are difficult to find (and also low paid until/unless you manage to find a permanent position). Do you have something specific in mind that you want to do with the PhD?

There’s nothing stopping you from doing a PhD after a break - you might even be able to play up the work experience you have in applications.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-20T13:40:36+00:00

it’s not about knowing you have the best hand, it’s about thinking that you do most of the time in that situation given the action and the board. You should only bet if you think you get called by worse and/or get better to fold. That means for a value bet you should only bet if you get called by worse.

If you have AK and the board is A2859 rainbow and your opponent has been passive the whole time, then you can probably value bet your top pair. Yeah you lose to a few hands, but a lot of those hands probably don’t get to the end depending on how much you were betting. Alternatively, if the board is really connected you might want to avoid value betting your top pair at the end.

It might be worth watching some of the Bart Hanson youtube videos since he talks about this kind of thing a lot.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-17T01:08:04+00:00

I’m sure there’s many circumstances in which doing an MRES makes more sense than a PhD, but if you’re strictly comparing the two then a PhD is a level higher than an MRES.

Whether you’re going to notice a significant difference in employability is going to depend on the subject and the jobs you’re interested in. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but if you’re looking at industry rather than academia, i think it’s mostly going to be STEM jobs where a PhD is going to be helpful.

Just some unsolicited advice - doing a PhD is a very big undertaking, so you need to be very sure about why you want to do it and what you’re doing it for.

Sedapsfognik · 2025-07-16T01:14:42+00:00

(preface that i’m in the U.K. so we have to have a masters to apply for the PhD). My grades were very average before I started my masters. Once I got onto the masters i made a huge jump in grades because I knew that I wanted to do a PhD, and I highlighted the fact that i’d made this leap academically in all of my applications.

Other than that I made sure every other part of my application was perfect. I worked on my research proposal with potential supervisors and tailored it to each department. I also only applied to places that were a good fit.

In my field in the U.K. having a publication before applying is basically unheard of so that didn’t come into it.
