The Grad Student's Guide to Getting Published
|

Much of this information is basic and should be provided
by your mentor. However, the information is accurate and comprehensive.

Becker, Howard
|
Writing for Social Scientists
|
1986
|
Although many students have given this book good reviews,
I find it generally unhelpful.
|

Bloom, Dale, Karp, Jonathan et al.
|
The Ph.D. Process
|
1998
|
The best book out there for students in the sciences.
Explains how to thrive in the interpersonal culture of a lab.
|
|
Boice, Robert
|
Professors as Writers
|
1990
|
If you buy one book, get this. It will help with procrastination
and creating rough drafts. Boice's work is backed up by research.

Bolker, Joan
|
Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes
a Day
|
1998
|
A "must buy" for students in the humanities,
and for those just beginning to think about their thesis topics. Easy
to read and full of down-to-earth advice.
|
|
Davis, Gordon & Parker, Clyde
|
Writing the Doctoral Dissertation
|
1979
|
This has been in print for a long time and there is now
a new edition. It focuses on the content basics of dissertation writing
- such as "what is a literature review."

|
Getting What You Came For
|
1997
|
Excellent, succinct advice. But start with Chapter 12
- the first half of the book explains why you should have never started
grad school! The second half of the book is enormously useful.

Sternberg, David
|
How to Complete and Survive a Doctoral Dissertation
|

This is a classic. I find that much of Sternberg's advice

Zerubavel, Eviatar

The Clockwork Muse
|
1999
|
Very specific information about how this incredibly organized
academic gets his own writing done. A good example of obsessive self-monitoring.
I wish that I could do what he suggests!

Wow! If you are looking for an academic job, this should

begin reading it two years before you want to go on the job market.
