Compared to many other disciplines, ICT has relatively
few students choosing to continue into doctoral studies.
We have explored some of the perceived barriers to
undertaking doctoral studies in ICT in three Australian
universities. Current students were surveyed to establish
their post-course intentions regarding employment and
further study. Their reasons for not choosing to go onto
research degrees were linked largely to concerns about
the financial implications of such study and a limited
understanding of what research in ICT involves. We
recommend that ICT students be given accurate
information about the costs involved, that students have
authentic undergraduate experiences of research, and that
smooth pathways be developed to allow students to return
to doctoral studies after working in industry.
Given its importance to institutions, policy-makers and intending students, there is a surprising lack of research exploring the reasons students choose to undertake a research degree. What studies there are tend to be largely descriptive... more
Given its importance to institutions, policy-makers and intending students, there is a surprising lack of research exploring the reasons students choose to undertake a research degree. What studies there are tend to be largely descriptive and the topic lacks a theoretically informed framework through which student decisions can be examined and comparative work developed. We outline such a framework drawing on self-determination theory and social cognitive career theory. Our framework comprises five categories: autonomy; relatedness; competence and self-efficacy; outcome expectations; and, goals. To assess its utility, the framework is used to interrogate data generated through a series of focus groups involving PhD students studying in Australia in the area of information and communications technology. The framework proved capable of organizing data in a robust, comprehensive and coherent way.

This paper describes techniques for visualising pairs of similar trees. Our aim is to develop ways of presenting the information so as to highlight both the common structure of the trees and their points of difference. The impetus for the work comes from the field of bioinformatics, where geneticists construct complex phylogenetic trees to represent the evolution of species or
