I AM surprised to read that some research councils are unconvinced of the need for the 成人VR视频 Quality Council guidelines on research (THES, December 13).
I would have imagined that they would be keen to improve the postgraduate experience and increase the prompt submission rates which they monitor keenly.
I agree that research objectives should be left broad, but "spontaneity" in supervisory practice corresponds with chaos in the experience of many postgraduate students. A defined framework, and setting of standards for training and supervision, as offered by the HEQC, can only be welcome.
