Originally I set myself the goal of having 25 publications by the END of 2025. That was when my PhD was going to be via publication and I had the capacity to work on more projects at once. Since I have taken the RTP stipend I have had less time, and now, because of personal issues, I’ve got less “space”. So I reviewed this goal, realizing it was unachievable and decided to include conference presentations as well. I mean presentations, even if they don’t have a paper attached, even if it’s just the abstract that was peer-reviewed. So that is a new goal of 25 research outputs by the end of 2025!

So…..

I didn’t even realize it at first but I got my 25th one a few weeks ago – didn’t even need until the end of 2025! I did it by the start! 🙂

Here is a picture of my whiteboard proudly displaying them!

J= Journal article

CBh = Book chapter

P = Poster

C = Conference presentation

I should write a long list of thank-yous! To all my co-authors, to my supervisors, my friends and family that supported me to do this etc etc etc. But I’m going to assume they will never read this and that sentence covers it.

I am focusing on the positive right now and THAT is it! Goal achieved!

This year my research goals are…

Self-efficacy SIG article 1 submitted

Self-efficacy SIG article 2 planned

Wellbeing SIG article 1 submitted

Wellbeing SIG article 2 planned

PhD article 1 re-submitted

PhD article 2 submitted

Intersectionality article submitted

Grant article submitted

Hmm that should keep me busy!
