I’ve been meaning to share these links for some time. The Warring States Project at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst has some fun and helpful advice for students and scholars, and some methodological tidbits for historians.

The Project itself has to do with research in ancient Chinese history, but the historical methodological tidbits are fun reading for any kind of historical work.

Their page of advice to students has helpful and witty tips for junior scholars as well.
