This course is intended to explain to PhD students how high-quality scientific research can be carried out during the three years of the doctorate course. The lessons will address the path that goes from the assignment of the research project to the literature analysis, from the design of research activities to the interaction with other scientists, from the production of tangible results to the analysis of the metrics commonly adopted to assess the quality of research and researchers. The overall aim of the course is that of making PhD students aware of what a PhD is and which is the spirit required to face it.
