Authoring a PhD

dissertation defence
– a common name for the 
final oral examination
in the 
taught PhD model
. [p. 217]
double-blind refereeing
– a system where author identification details
are removed before papers go to referees, and the referees make com-
ments anonymously. The system is supposed to put all authors on a par
for publication, and to allow reviewers to give frank comments. [p. 229]
dual publication
– publishing material twice, first in a journal article
and later in a book, a recognized and legitimate practice. Note, however,
that the material must always be published first in the journal, and that
material can never be published twice in different journals. [pp. 250–1]
