HOW TO succeed 1) Own contribution Reading LOTS of books and journal articles about the subject, also older ’classics’, and keeping up to date with new publications Helps in writing/producing scientific text Important to know what has already been done Hands-on attitude to research work Planning and scheduling Dividing the research in suitable sections for separate journal manuscripts Simultaneously working on several subjects

HOW TO succeed 2) Help from others Having dedicated thesis advisor and supervisor Working in a joint research project with other universities and industrial companies Collaboration, meetings, seminar presentation, reports Constructive feedback from the journal manuscript reviewers: proposals for improvement and new aspects for the discussion Exploiting your networks and asking help and advice whenever needed
