发帖数: 944 | 1 I'm a phd student in my 5th year. I did a lot of research work and have
a lot of publications. But honestly, none of my work has significant
contribution in terms of theory. At the beginning of this year, my
advisor pushed me to work on a new topic (not the same as my previous
work but still in this field) and expected me to have significant
contribution.
Here's the time line:
01/2010-03/2010:
I worked very hard and seemed to come up with some methods. However,
most of my methods are similar to existing ones and my results are no
better than others' work. That means there is still almost nothing new
in my methods. During this time I suffered a lot mentally and I went to
the consultant several times.
04-05/2010:
I wrote a paper about my work anyway and my advisor agreed me to submit
it.
06-08/2010:
I did an internship somewhere else. During this time I also did some
research work remotely (useful work but little theoretical contribution)
09/2010:
I passed my comprehensive exam where I did a very good presentation. I
will be eligible to defend my thesis 7 months after this.
10/2010:
The paper got rejected, as expected. My advisor asked me to continue to
work on that and make something new.
Now, I'm desperate. I know I can't come up with anything new in that
specific topic. I can work as hard as in this spring but won't produce
anything except more suffering (I admit that I can learn a lot of stuff
myself this way, but I just can't create anything new).
If you were my advisor, would you let me graduate eventually? |

发帖数: 944 | 11 If I submit it to another lower level journal it might be accepted, but my
advisor won't let me do that because I already have enough moderate
journal papers. He only wants me to shoot top journals/ conferences.

不要太注重理论的质量，如果你老板不是你做的方向的牛人的话，出理论重大结果基本
不可能。
出好结果需要运气，做的东西一定要新，或者很少有人在这个领域上出结果，否则大家
都在做，凭啥你一个phd学生就能做出理论突破来。

problem is he is not a reasonable person. He never considers normal human
feelings.He is cold blooded and treats everyone as a machine.

发帖数: 944 | 20 He is not an expert in this topic himself, but he keeps asking me "what's
new" in my methods. I told him some differences bewteen my methods and
prebious methods, but he did not consider them as "new". He said that's just
the differene.

发帖数: 944 | 21 I met with my advisor today, and it's more clear that I can't graduate
with the current research status. The reason is that I haven't made any
scientific contribution. All my past work/publications are about real
applications.
