Searching Journals....
As a phd student, searching journals is the main activity. You can try using this url www.mendeley.com (suggest from my supervisor). I think this website is very helpful to find any proceeding papers, journals or articles. Google > Scholar also provide the same services. Try to use it & maybe it can help you. Do you know about dropbox or enotes? eNotes is an educational resource used by millions of teachers and
students.Try to use it & understand the function.

FIND A GOOD TOPIC
Difficult things to do in PhD is find a good topic. I need to
read 10 journals every day, find the research problem, research question and so
on.. I read and read but still blur with my areas. I discuss with my
supervisor, my topic is too general and need to narrow down the issue. Avoid topics which may induce strong
reactions, avoid topics which are overly ambitious (motivated) and overly
challenging. Here are the tips that I can share with you:
Selection of research topic should be based on
•
Magnitude of the problem and its impact
• Urgency of the need for a solution.
• Relevance to the aim of the funding agency.
• Amenability of the problem to investigation.
• Feasibility of the approach.
• Chances of success, etc.
