PhD Timeline of Researcher Development The successful completion of PhD research depends on progress through a time-constrained sequence
from initial concepts through literature review and analysis to communicating original results and impact in
a thesis and beyond. Researcher Development plans free workshops along this timeline exploring best
practice and allowing you to bring specific issues to discuss and share with other PhDs at similar stages.
