This book is as useful as it is not; some advices are valuable, but don't be too scared by them. Especially, on publishing: I've heard very different advices from a number of faculty members, the general ideas is if you have something good, publish it; if not, don't.



3) Work your career : get what you want from your social sciences or humanities PhD

Online: https://books-scholarsportal-info.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/uri/ebooks/ebooks3/utpress/2018-08-15/1/9781487594299
