(14) A down-to-earth book with advice for all researchers
is written by Phillips, M.E. and Pugh, D.S. (1988) How to
get a Ph.P.: Managing the peaks and troughs of research
Milton Keynes: Open University Press. On page 55 of this
book is a paragraph on "Contribution".

It is concerned with your evaluation of the
importance of your thesis to the development
of the discipline. It is here that you
underline the significance of your analysis,
point out the limitations in your material,
suggest what new work is now appropriate, and
so on.....Thus your successors (who include,

of course, yourself) now face a different
situation when determining what their research
work should be since they now have to take
account of your work.

Phillips and Pugh argue that all good research is
significant but limited. Therefore, in the most general
terms, one's thesis should produce successors. The
researcher gave careful thought to the limitations of this
thesis. Appendix 5 offers suggestions of areas for future
research into the Anglo-Indian community.
