Written for doctoral researchers, this book offers strategies to help those working at a distance to flourish.This book is ideally suited for those contemplating distance study, distance doctoral students who are starting their off-campus journey, and supervisors and others who are working with distance doctoral researchers.'Insider Guides to Success in Academia' offers support and practical advice to doctoral students and early-career researchers.
