How to complete Ph.D. degree even if you are not getting enough guidance from supervisor?

Online PhD programs-Research Scholar and Supervisor

The student will be like an assistant to complete a certain task or project which is their supervisor’s and completely irrelevant to their own research work if it seems so, the student is wasting their time to please the Guide. For example, if the researcher gains some knowledge in the domain by collecting a few research articles and tries to solicit feedback from the supervisor but they won’t respond,  the supervisor would eventually urge them to come up with a new topic. This is how a Ph.D. scholar’s time gets wasted. Due to a lack of support or guidance from the supervisor, the scholar will be in a great dilemma and will be forced to proceed with fast publications in the final stage.

Doctorate Degree Course Duration

The course duration is three to five years for a full-time scholar and 6-8 years for a part-time scholar. Once the course time is in its end-stage, the same supervisor asks the students to hurry up and complete their research work because they need to find new students, hence the Ph.D. scholar will have to go for paid journals or open access journals for getting acceptance within two to three months which turns out to be a great mistake committing by each research scholar, such that after a certain period of the time the particular journal will be blacklisted and the researcher will not be able to find it hence there will be no published paper in scholar’s  name after a certain period of time, so it will affect the scholar’s career. Nowadays the Universities are not accepting the paid journals.

If the research scholar is a part-time scholar, they need to balance their work-life with their research work. In this case, the student must need support who can guide them in selecting a trending topic and give justification for each and every question raised by their guide. Once the scholar started to justify the things, the guide may no longer be able to control them, and also, they do not need to rely on their guide for opinions and suggestions.

A research scholar needs to understand what are all the things they need to do to complete the research work. Some scholars may have no idea about the paper publication and so on, hence support from an expert is necessary for a research scholar to complete their research work successfully. In this case, a scholar needs the external support of an expert who is familiar with research work and provides information and research assistance to complete the research work.
