Other Resources
There are a number of associations and networks; resource portals; surveys and data collections; and sites for practioners etc. not targeted specifically at the needs of PhD students but useful nonetheless for research and getting an idea of what is happening in the field.
More PhD-specific resources can be found in the PhD Resources section and other publication series, newsletters and journals can be found in the Other Publications section.
We've also recently added a multimedia section with relevant audio and video files for your benefit and enjoyment.
