In 2008, I had been supervising Ph.D. students for 20 years when I happened on a short book by Tara Gray (2005/2015) entitled Publish & Flourish. Tis led me to change my approach considerably. In supervising, I now focus more on the process of doing research, especially writing, and less on the content. Te results have been positive.
