Those of you who have been awarded PhD during 2010 and onwards, please spare some time to provide the data through the below linked simple questionnaire designed for the purpose. I need your full cooperation to compile the comprehensive databank. The consolidated data is for the benefit of our professional colleagues and will be shared with them. I have already uploaded my articles on LIS Research on web and many of our LIS professionals are keep accessing them. Happy to note that I get alerts almost daily on usage of these articles by our professionals. Further, I am sending the data to researchers who are requesting the data. I need your cooperation to update the datasheet from 2010. Be assured the compiled data will be shared with professionals. This survey takes just two minutes for you to response as it is asking minimum info.
