What else do you want to see on the site?

Regardless of whether you belong to BYU, please list questions you have, information you want, or other things that you want to see on the website on this page. Hopefully, this can be a resource for a far greater community than just BYU individuals.

• I would love to hear about the process of going on the job market. How should I decide where to send my packet? How do programs decide who to interview? What are my chance of getting an offer if I am asked to interview? When is appropriate to turn down an interview? When is it not appropriate to not turn down an interview? Please provide any information relating to this topic on the following page: Now that I have a Ph.D., how do I get a J.O.B.?

• I would like to see a discussion about the review process. How do you decide where to submit a paper? How long does it usually take? What is expected of me when I am asked to review a paper? Is is appropriate to try to figure out who the authors are? Can I ask for the help of others? At what point in the process is it appropriate to reveal your identity as the reviewer to the author(s)?

• I think a list of universities stipends would be interesting and useful. It may not be a big basis in making any kind of decision, but, it would be interesting to see what different schools are offering. It could be under the page How much is a typical PhD School Stipend?

• I would like to see the questions and answers (and the whole site) geared more towards the average potential PhD student (not a PhD prep grad) and maybe even provide resources for non-members at other institutions. Now I can't really give prospective students here at Michigan State the website link because the information is so skewed to BYU PhD prep students who are seeking a PhD. - Kristian Allee (Spuhlmann 11:35, 29 November 2008 (MST))

• A page full of paper replications with sas code and tables. - Scott Dyreng (Spuhlmann 11:35, 29 November 2008 (MST))

• Information about schools for prospective Ph.D.s; information of faculty and student research interests, including faculty at other schools; teaching information; information about faculty involvement in policy, standard setting, boards, academic and professional organizations, etc. to help Ph.D.s in networking. - W. Steve Albrecht (Spuhlmann 11:35, 29 November 2008 (MST))

• I'd like to be able to obtain information about current PhD students to determine when they plan to be on the job market and to have information about them so as we are looking for people to fill positions we can use the PhD Prep wiki as a resource. - Nate Stephens (Spuhlmann 11:35, 29 November 2008 (MST))

• A reliable and detailed database that maintains a list of every paper published in the last N number of years in major accounting journals would be an extremely valuable resource. I know some attempts at this have been made by Ted Christensen and others, but I'm not aware of its status. - Jason Smith (Spuhlmann 11:35, 29 November 2008 (MST))

• Information for those considering an academic career route, answers to specific questions regarding such questions as: work for a few years or go straight through? What's a PhD program like (how long, finances, can you work during, etc.)? What's it like being a professor? What is the typical salary range at various schools? Do I have to go financial or are there opportunities in audit, tax, managerial? ETC. - Doug Prawitt (Spuhlmann 11:35, 29 November 2008 (MST))

• I think it could be useful to have a place where people could start up co-authorships on the site. Maybe a place where researchers can post a general are of interest and ask whether anyone would be interested in discussing the topic further. This could be especially helpful for Ph.D. students who don't have a big network yet. - Chad Smith (Spuhlmann 11:35, 29 November 2008 (MST))
