The demands of a PhD can often feel overwhelming, and it is not uncommon to hear of doctoral students being stressed and overworked.

One of the best ways of sharing your research is by publishing your findings, innovative methodologies or original knowledge that you have created through your PhD. 

A preprint is a research article draft completed prior to publication that is then publicly shared by the author(s) prior to, or after, formal journal-controlled peer-review, but before publication. Preprints are documents that are often not typeset or built into online content.

In most cases, the written PhD thesis is the principal way of clearly and cohesively conveying all the elements of your research.
