I have heard a number of students
say that have posted information about their dissertation on their personal
website or on social media. I caution you to reconsider doing this before the
study is complete. The reason is that there are people who may
"borrow" your ideas and publish a study on the same topic before you
can get your study done. This could mean having to rework your study (remember
you are required to make a new contribution to the field). While I do not
recommend being paranoid about this (e.g., fearing that your committee will
steal your ideas), do be cautious in sharing. General topics are fine, but
don’t be specific about it.
Next time, we will
consider getting done. Do you have an issue or a question that you would like
me to discuss in a future post? Would you like to be a guest writer? Send me
your ideas! leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
