The British Library and JISC have commissioned a report into the information seeking and research behaviour of doctoral students born between 1982 and 1994. They are inviting late-stage doctoral researchers, post-doctoral researchers and academic staff managing or supervising doctoral research to become members of our focus groups.

The three groups will be asked to consider and discuss topics and questions relating to:

1. Current policy and institutional environments for doctoral research
2. Efficacy of different models of doctoral research (e.g. collaborative, multidisciplinary)
3. The research process itself, and the stresses and strains on individuals
4. Specific, subject-related research and information-seeking behaviour

Each of the three focus groups will meet once on either 27 or 28 April at the British Library. If you are interested click here .
