Literature writing is a skill that every PhD candidate must procure to communicate his or her research findings clearly. The main objective of this paper is to facilitate the literature writing process so that PhD candidates under- stand what PhD literature is and are able to write their PhD literature cor- rectly and scientifically. The methodology used in this research is a descrip- tive method as it deliberates and defines the various parts of literature writing process and elucidates the how to do of it in a very unpretentious and under- standing language. As thus, this paper summarizes the various steps of litera- ture writing to pilot the PhD students so that the task of PhD literature writ- ing process becomes adaptable and less discouraging. This research is a useful roadmap especially for students of the social science studies. Additionally, in this paper, literature writing techniques, procedures and important strategies are enlightened in a simple manner. This paper adopts a how-to approach when discussing a variety of relevant topics, such as literature review intro- duction, types of literature review, advantages of literature reviews, objective of literature review, literature review template, and important check lists about literature review are discussed. This paper has 5 parts, such as Intro- duction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results and Conclusion. The lit- erature review chapter is discussed in this paper.

An abstract is like a movie trailer. People will only consider reading the rest of the manuscript if they find your abstract interesting. It is an outline/brief summary of your paper and your whole project. Keywords: , research, descriptive and informative research.
This book aims to guide researchers, academicians and PhD candidates especially Social Science Researchers on how todo research systematically. Research is a premeditated investigation using scientific methodology (quantitative, qualitative,) to solve a serious problem (not ordinary problem), thus creating additional (new) knowledge. Research is also regarded as an inquiry of reality about something by testing a hypothesis, answering questions, generating new queries, finding solutions, and creating new knowledge. This book guides you how to effectively structure your research from the proposal till VIVA presentation. Although research designs may differ from one discipline to another, a general road map should include the following: Ø Topic of research Ø Research problem, questions and hypotheses Ø Review of current literature Ø Theoretical framework or methodology experimental, observation and so Ø Data collection and testing if any Ø Data analysis Ø Results Ø Discussions and Applications Ø Conclusion Ø References

You have highlighted how PhD training assessment has stagnated, despite evolving educational methodologies (see Nature 613 , 414 (2023) and Nature 627 , 244; 2024 ). In particular, you note the mismatch between the current PhD journey and the multifaceted demands of modern research and societal challenges.

Microbiome Expert Sean Spencer, MD, PhD: On a Mission to Prove that Food is Medicine
By Sharon Brock, MEd, MS
Sean Spencer , MD, PhD is a Gastroenterologist and Physician Scientist at Stanford University School of Medicine. Along with seeing patients in the clinic, Spencer conducts cutting-edge research on the microbiome in the Sonnenburg Lab . In his research, Spencer focuses on how nutrition affects the microbiome and the immune system, as well as how our diet can prevent and treat gastrointestinal disease and potentially increase longevity.
“There’s a clear association between the microbiome and healthy aging. Studies of centenarians show a different microbiome configuration compared to those with a shorter life span and unhealthy aging,” says Spencer. “The microbiome is a key aspect of lifestyle medicine because what we eat and how we exercise affects our microbiome composition.”
The Medical Path
Growing up in the agricultural town of Madison, Wisconsin, Spencer learned from an early age the importance of nutritious food regarding health. As an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin, Spencer majored in medical microbiology and immunology, and knew since his sophomore year that he wanted to practice medicine.
“After taking a human physiology course, I just knew that learning as much as I could about the human body and using that knowledge to help people was the only thing I wanted to do,” says Spencer. “As an undergrad, I also discovered that I could conduct research while caring for patients, and that clarified my career path further.”
These career goals prompted Spencer to pursue an MD-PhD program in immunology at the University of Pennsylvania, which he completed in 2015.
“In graduate school, I realized how our diet has a profound impact on the microbiome, which directly influences the immune system,” says Spencer. “You want to think of the three aspects [nutrition, microbiome, and immune system] at the three corners of a triangle. They each impact the other.”
After completing an internal medicine residency with Harvard Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Spencer came to Stanford in 2017 for a fellowship in gastroenterology (GI).
“I came to Stanford specifically to work with Justin Sonnenburg, so it was great to be accepted to both the GI clinical program and his lab,” says Spencer. “What I love most about Stanford are the people and the creativity. This focus on the microbiome and nutrition is unique to Stanford and I’m glad to be part of a community that thinks about lifestyle medicine in both research and clinical care.”
Living His Dream
For the last six years, Spencer has been a practicing, board-certified GI physician at Stanford Medicine and a researcher in one of the most prestigious microbiome labs in the country. Spencer lights up when he talks about his current research on the small intestine microbiome:
“Most microbiome studies look at the very end of the GI tract, but the small intestine is 20 feet long, and researchers have sampled almost none of it,” says Spencer. “We’ve developed a novel technology to sample and investigate the microbiota [bacteria] of the small intestinal microbiome, which has been a huge blank space for the longest time.”
The small intestine is where many nutrients, including glucose, are absorbed into the bloodstream. Since high glucose levels are linked to diabetes and obesity, Spencer believes this research will potentially lead to the development of lifestyle medicine therapies for individuals with these medical conditions.
Spencer will also study hormones in the small intestine, such as Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is the hormone targeted in the popular weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy. “The new GLP-1-targeted medications are powerful and amazing drugs, but it’s important to recognize that we have the power to regulate these hormonal pathways with our diet and lifestyle choices,” he says.
Although his work in the lab is a source of fulfillment, Spencer also enjoys bringing his research findings directly to his patients as a GI physician. Spencer is able to offer this bench-to-bedside level of care since he attained both a medical degree and a PhD in immunology.
“I’m most proud that I have the skillset to listen to patients and identify what they need clinically, and then do the research to fill in the gaps and conduct clinical trials to help them,” says Spencer.
Looking to the Future
With his postdoctoral fellowship ending this year, Spencer plans to work at a clinical center (ideally at Stanford) where he can continue to see GI patients and perform clinical trials on nutrition-microbiome-immune research. Studies from the Sonnenburg lab he would like to continue are testing the anti-inflammatory effects of fermented foods, which improve the immune system, and the mechanisms by which our diet, microbiome, and immune system impact each other.
Regarding patient care, Spencer takes a “food is medicine” approach and plans to conduct more research to back up that message. “My future goal is to perform research that reinforces the recommendations of lifestyle medicine; to build the evidence-base for types of food that promote a healthy microbiome and prevent and treat disease,” says Spencer. “This research will help us understand what aspects of food are critical for promoting health and wellness and has real potential to offer improved eating advice and promote health through diet.”
