A PhD is a beginner’s qualification. Whatever your academic track record up to this point, compared to other academics with years or decades of experience, you are a novice.
The key to creative problem-solving is to think beyond the first thing that comes to mind and to consider alternative options.

research papers are not written to teach
Academic journal articles are written to communicate research to other experts in the field, so they assume a high level of pre-existing knowledge in the reader.
Getting know the field
First, who are the best-known and most influential researchers in your research area? Since these are the people everybody else knows about, it is important for you to know who they are and what research they have done that is considered so important. Second, but by no means less important, who else is doing similar research to you? Or put another way, who is your direct competition?
The Nature of Research
Although every PhD project is slightly different, there are two universal principles that apply to research in general. Principle #1: research is unpredictable Principle #2: complexity tends to increase with time
Difficult to do, difficult to describe
Writing is so difficult to describe because much of the process takes place subconsciously. For a skilful writer, it’s like trying to describe how you walk; at a superficial level you just put one foot in front of the other, but at a deeper level there are constant tiny adjustments to your balance and movement you aren’t even aware of.
