How PhD Students Should Get Supported by Supervisors

A recent article in the Photonics Spotlight discusses the responsibilities of supervisors (professors and senior research assistance).

Some key statements:

Even if PhD students can carry out most of the work in a research project, vital inputs are needed from supervisors particularly in the planning phase and when a crisis occurs.
A helpful supervisor does not only benefit the supported students, but contributes to the effectiveness of the whole research team.
If serious engagement were the condition of authorship of supervisors, supervisors would be more likely to do their job.
A substantial risk for science fraud arises only in a serious crisis – and is in that case strongly dependent on how the supervisor performs!
