A PhD is the start of the research careers, and these students are the backbone of universities and research institutions. Research Methods for Successful PhD is written to help PhD students and other young researchers navigate their path through this phase. The book has been developed through the experience of supervising 30 research students and publishing 400 papers.

Convergence security can be defined as the security created by merging the physical and information security or the combining security with other non-IT technologies. Convergence Security Journal is an open access journal dedicated to the publication and discussion of research articles, short communications, and review papers on all areas of convergence security. The primary objective is to publish a high-quality journal with free Internet-based access for researchers and other interested people throughout the world. Papers published by the journal represent important advances of significance to experts within security field. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers.The scope of Convergence Security is theory, applications, and implementations of convergence security. This includes, but is not limited to: Physical and Information Security Vehicular Networks Security Aviation Networks Security Maritime Networks Security Smart Home Security IoT Security Smart Grid Security Healthcare Security Infrastructure Security
