Good morning everyone.

Thank God I found an educative thread like this.

I just finished my MSc in Information Technology.

The question is, can I go back to Engineering for my PhD with MSc in Information Technology? My B.Eng is Computer Engineering.

Also, which of the Nigerian universities can I proceed with for my PhD if the event I'm unable to proceed to Engineering? I discovered most Nigeria universities don't offer information Technology at PhD level.

Your guidance is paramount to my next step as I await your response.

Happy weekend in advance!!!

With your first degree in Engineering, a PhD in Engineering is possible even with your MSc in Information Technology.

Just Published: Treatment of Olive mill wastewater.

The study was directed to treat olive mill containing heavily loaded phytotoxic phenols. This is part of funded research; here only phenol was degraded and next research COD removal and recovery of valuables from the wastewater are researched.

Work was solely carried out by WIP7 and published in the Journal of Water Process with an impact factor of 3.47 and indexed in SCI.

Prof you are certainly setting the pace in academics. Congratulations on your recent publication

Sir please look for away and continue your PhD abroad. You will be glad you did.

Hi there,

It might be difficult to come with a well-fit PhD topic if you don't study regularly. I don't know if there are experts in your discipline on this thread but a suitable way to come up with a researchable topic is to study (AND think).


Best wishes.

Anyone going for the Commonwealth PhD FSB Nomination interview in Abuja between 2nd - 4th February?

Hi FlowAssurance,
I would be interested in the outcome of this.
My girlfriend applied for this through a nominating agency she's a member of.
She's waiting for an offer from the university she applied to. Although, a supporting statement from a prospective supervisor has been sent to the CSC. Might I ask, have you had a prospective supervisor send a supporting statement?

What's your discipline? My girlfriend's discipline is Social Work.


Hoping to read your response.



Best wishes.

Yes, my prospective supervisor has sent a supporting statement and I have gotten an admission to the school. My discipline is in Energy.

Wishing her all the best.

Wow! Impressive!
Did it take time for the school to make a decision?
We only started applying in the second week of January. It was a bit tedious but we did.


When is your interview scheduled for?

It took about a week for the admission decision. UK admission is not so difficult, so she will get it soonest.
Yes, the application is tad tedious and it is more annoying when you realize you need to secure a nomination before the CSC will decide to look at your application.

My interview is scheduled for Wednesday. When is her own?

That unfortunate part of the CSC is you have to be nominated to be considered. I just weak.
I wish you all the best in your interview tomorrow.
Well, she's applying through the Nominating Agency pathway. She's a member of Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE). Babe na lecturer.

Hello guys I wanted to know what profitable masters degree a bsc physiology graduate can go into.

Hello guys I wanted to know what profitable masters degree a bsc physiology graduate can go into.

Do a masters in Global Mental Health. If possible, study the course at any of JHU, LSHTM or Harvard-Chan School. You will not go wrong.

Modified: My previous answer was based on a wrong assumption that you studied psychology in your undergrad. Nonetheless, I'll suggest an MSc in Medical Statistics if you are numerical.

Just Published (Feb 09): Reduction of chemical oxygen demand from olive mill wastewater


As part of ongoing funded research; the current study focused on the reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from phytotoxic polyphenol polluted olive mill wastewater via low-cost photocatalytic tech.

Note: Higher COD levels mean a greater amount of oxidizable organic material in the sample, which will reduce dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the water which is highly dangerous. This research reduced the COD by nearly 99% making the wastewater useable for irrigation.

Researcher: Work solely carried out by WIP7 and published in JCIS having impact factor of 7.5 and indexed under SCI. The funding is aimed to study and design a 1000 L cost-efficient treatment system specifically for olive mill wastewater.

The earlier part of the research was published: https://www.nairaland.com/2044554/thread-phd-students/82#98437879

Thank you for stopping by; this particular thread was opened to encourage, support, and guide intending and current Ph.D. students. You said you were meant to conclude your PhD last year but still on your proposal defence; seems very contrasting. I did not study in Nigeria but I don't think that's how it should be. A proposal must have been defended earlier before your commenced your Ph.D., unless the Ph.D. in Nigeria is different from what am conversant with

Three (3) publications, many seminars

For the sake of all of us trying to learn, can you give us the titles of your 3 publications and name of the journals you published them?

Wants to do another PhD after finishing my current PhD.

However, your profile here on Feb 09, 2021, is totally different from what you posted on this thread, below you stated you are going for Master in Education; https://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/233#98891017

Am just curious how much you love education, like you are doing PhD, want to do the second PhD and you had a master in Accounting and Financial Management from the UK and want to do Another master or diploma in Canada. Kindly share your publication titles/journals so that upcoming education lover can be inspired.

At wip7. Hope you are doing great?

Please, explain this for me.

1) You are required to prepare a draft manuscript. ( Between 6000-7000 words)

2) The first step involves the submission of an abstract and the proposed structure (section and subsections you intend to cover)

Hello professor. First of all I am currently a Computer Science PhD student in China. My research is on Graph Neural Networks based Sequential Recommendation. I would like your input on something please. The requirements for graduation is basically 3 SCI papers then a thesis ofcourse. My concern is will 3 papers be enough to compete for a postdoc position especially in European Universities? To add more context, the duration of the PhD is 3-4 years and so far I just completed 1.5 years. Again I have 2 papers under review, 1 at Knowledge based systems and the other at Neurocomputing. If 3 papers will be okay then I could graduate at 3 years. Thank you in advance

I will choose someone with 3 quality papers published in the major journals of a field over someone with 23 papers published in the minor journals of that field.

To your question, if your 3 papers are in the best journals in your field or if they are in some very respectable journals in your field, then I imagine you would look competitive wherever you apply.

For example, if your 3 papers are published in some of these journals - https://blog.typeset.io/top-16-international-computer-science-journals-a-template-guide-3b838a7fd902, then I believe you are competitive.

It is not by the volume of your papers. Quality and impact matter.

Nevertheless, I would suggest you to still apply widely for a postdoc, no matter what your current publication record looks like. Anything can happen.

I have seen people with only promising working papers, but working papers nonetheless, get accepted into highly coveted Postdoc programmes

Hello house,
Please I need scholars or experts or PhD students in the field of STOCHASTIC CALCULUS.... I am starting my PhD this year in that area.

The 3 papers requested are just a graduation requirement and you are not limited to get more. To answer the question; 3 SCI papers are not enough considering the current trend in the EU now; you will be competing with graduates from other EU, USA, Africa, and Asian universities with several papers. Considering my experience as an external jury/reviewer for postdoc and grants in many EU countries; some of the important factors the reviewers check are:

----Background skills and experience
----Number of reputable journals that are accessed in WOS (very important)
--- WOS citations (excluding self-citation)
----H-index (in WOS)
----Your percentage as the first author and as the corresponding author in your papers accessed in WOS

Each of these parameters is allocated a point which varies across universities.

Thank you very much for your reply. However I must point out that here in China students can hardly be corresponding authors. It's like a norm. Secondly both journals are present in WOS and are Q1 papers with impact factor of 5.9 and 4.4. But current trend in the world for my field is conference papers. Top universities and research institutions mostly publish their work in top tier conferences which my supervisor is not a fan of. She prefers the traditional journal route. I am kind of confused actually... H-index and citations would then be difficult since conferences are the preferred route. Although during my masters in Turkey I published 4 papers but not related to my current work.

Thank you some much. However in my field it is highly difficult to define the best journal for it. The most relevant publication venue should be Recommender Systems conference. However it is not even listed in the approved Chinese Computer Foundation list of conferences and journals. Also while China and some European countries still publish in journals, others have concentrated on conferences.
