what I know and I believe it is important about supervision

state of the art
state of the art
state of the art

I knew this since I started my PhD in 1990. But only after T. did not want to run a state of the art review in the first 6 months of his PhD and in fact he never run a systematic review, I understand how important it is.

To ground research questions, to get a common vocabulary, to get a picture of the International network of individuals, conference and journals.

If a student does not want to run a state of the art, if a student has not done it after 1/4 of the time (1 year for 4 years PhD) stop and talk to him. Ask why. And give him 3 more months. Be strong and strict.

Involve your self in the process of reviewing the literature. It is the tool you have to understand the field further, be able to write applications in the field, bien able to write papers together with the student.

study in a ph.d program is important.
At the same time, both M. (my advisor during my Ph. D.) and M. (my first prof. with whom i was collaborating when i started to be a researcher) did not want that i was influenced by other work. They pose me a wuestion, a problem and they want me to find a solution withput beeing influenced by other solutions, to let my creativity solve it. But even if this is imnportant, i still think taht i good bakground is very important.

Most famously, New Zealand and Australia have a long dispute about which country first developed the ugg boots style, but these days most people associate Australia with this style of ugg . The reason is probably that the most popular manufacturer, uggs Australia, is named what it is.
