I wish I had found your videos earlier. They are really helpful. I was a bit concerned that there may not be not enough contributions in my work, but now I can see them clearly.
Great Vlog...As I am close to submission, this was very helpful. I am thinking a lot about demonstrating the SOCK in my thesis. Great acronym. "Significance" is indeed in the eye of the beholder. Your advice on proof of 'significance' is wonderful.
Thank you so much for your generous sharing of knowledge. I'm in the so-called final stage to attain my Ph.D., awaiting my oral defense. I am thankful I've found your channel, though late but never too late, one has to be responsible to maintain the golden level of being a Ph.D., and seek for improvement forever.
Although I’m a first year PHD student, this made me appreciate the questions I’ve refined. Significant word document opened and in progress. Thank you! 🌸
Really useful vlog ( as always) I’m thinking about doing a phd and having come from a background in industry, the point about significance is really important to me. I want to be able to see the real life value of my research in the applied world. What value are people deriving from it. Thanks for the insights you share so clearly and with such positive energy.
I love this SOCK vlog! Listening to this has helped me consider these aspects as I form my proposal. I AM uneasy about the "significant" part... although I think, albeit weakly, that through the justification and argument of presenting an idea this comes through. Unfortunately, as the research unfolds this may or may not prove to be true and the readers will have to subjectively rate the degree of significance based on the completed project. Thanks for another thought provoking vlog ^_^
very useful information thank you very much! like many others, I am on the final stages of my write-up; although I cant speak for the rest, but for me personally, I had my contribution to knowledge set in mind (could be vague at start, but got clearer with time) the problem is that: I did not write it down till now (could be unmotivated supervision), and honestly watching this video helped a lot in shaping this one sentence.
Hmmm, significance - I would argue that the significance of some work might not be immediately obvious but could emerge later, or in different contexts. For example, while researching my Research masters, I read a meticulously detailed book about transport links in London, which documented individual bus routes, train lines and trams. While this initially seemed to be a book about the development and growth of London transport, I was able to use it to contest a supposed centre/periphery relationship between central London and outer London. This interest in the character of peripheral neighbourhoods is a growing area in urban history, to which the transport book makes a significant contribution, but it was an area that barely existed when the book was written (over 20 years ago).
These videos are wonderful. Thank you!!
Thank you so much Professor Brabazon for your detailed guidance on how we should address these areas. I sincerely appreciate!

She is spitting rare minerals for researchers. Very useful talk
Thank you Tara for demystifying this whole SOCK concept.
Clearly a Significant SOCK! Powerfully focused and yes, impactful! Thank you
Many thanks to Prof. Tara Brabazon and her colleagues.
Professor, I owe you a lot for your videos. Thank you.
I love the way you explain this. Greetings from Panama
Thank You for being my online teacher
I find your vlogs to be vastly useful. Thank you for what you do !

This is creative education in a high level!!! Thank you!!!!
Fantastic. Will start a significance file tomorrow morning. You are the best.

Thanks so much for this! An exciting time to write significant work ...
As usual, provocative thoughts, influential on time ideas transmitted by a very nice lady. Bunch of thx nd bless u x
Thank you very much for such an amazing information

Thank you Tara for helping me with this concept ☺️
Thanks for this terrific presentation. Very helpful as I begin to write a PhD proposal. Love your presentation too!

Thank you.. This comes on time as I am trying to write my contribution to knowledge chapter.. This is the toughest part of thesis.. Thank you Dr.

I just discovered your vlogs! I am doing a PhD in engineering in Geneva Switzerland, and still find your info really helpful! Keep it up!!
Thank you. Useful. Grettings from Popayan, Colombia.
you are the best presenter....wish you all the best......
This is very helpful. Thank you.

incredibly useful thank you
The significant of PhD research starts by great research question which needs a lot of experience and knowledge in particular discipline .
I am in my final year of Phd in the Uk
Please adopt me😁
