Last, format your objectives into a numbered list. This is because when you write your thesis or dissertation, you will at times need to make reference to a specific research objective; structuring your research objectives in a numbered list will provide a clear way of doing this.
To bring all this together, let’s compare the first research objective in the previous example with the above guidance:
Research Objective:
1. Develop finite element models using explicit dynamics to mimic mallet blows during cup/shell insertion, initially using simplified experimentally validated foam models to represent the acetabulum.
Checking Against Recommended Approach:
Q: Is it specific? A: Yes, it is clear what the student intends to do (produce a finite element model), why they intend to do it (mimic cup/shell blows) and their parameters have been well-defined ( using simplified experimentally validated foam models to represent the acetabulum ).
Q: Is it measurable? A: Yes, it is clear that the research objective will be achieved once the finite element model is complete.
Q: Is it achievable? A: Yes, provided the student has access to a computer lab, modelling software and laboratory data.
Q: Is it relevant? A: Yes, mimicking impacts to a cup/shell is fundamental to the overall aim of understanding how they deform when impacted upon.
Q: Is it timebound? A: Yes, it is possible to create a limited-scope finite element model in a relatively short time, especially if you already have experience in modelling.
Q: Does it start with a verb? A: Yes, it starts with ‘develop’, which makes the intent of the objective immediately clear.
Q: Is it a numbered list? A: Yes, it is the first research objective in a list of eight.
1. making your research aim too broad.
Having a research aim too broad becomes very difficult to achieve. Normally, this occurs when a student develops their research aim before they have a good understanding of what they want to research. Remember that at the end of your project and during your viva defence , you will have to prove that you have achieved your research aims; if they are too broad, this will be an almost impossible task. In the early stages of your research project, your priority should be to narrow your study to a specific area. A good way to do this is to take the time to study existing literature, question their current approaches, findings and limitations, and consider whether there are any recurring gaps that could be investigated .
Note: Achieving a set of aims does not necessarily mean proving or disproving a theory or hypothesis, even if your research aim was to, but having done enough work to provide a useful and original insight into the principles that underlie your research aim.
Be realistic about what you can achieve in the time you have available. It is natural to want to set ambitious research objectives that require sophisticated data collection and analysis, but only completing this with six months before the end of your PhD registration period is not a worthwhile trade-off.
Each research objective should have its own purpose and distinct measurable outcome. To this effect, a common mistake is to form research objectives which have large amounts of overlap. This makes it difficult to determine when an objective is truly complete, and also presents challenges in estimating the duration of objectives when creating your project timeline. It also makes it difficult to structure your thesis into unique chapters, making it more challenging for you to write and for your audience to read.
Fortunately, this oversight can be easily avoided by using SMART objectives.
Hopefully, you now have a good idea of how to create an effective set of aims and objectives for your research project, whether it be a thesis, dissertation or research paper. While it may be tempting to dive directly into your research, spending time on getting your aims and objectives right will give your research clear direction. This won’t only reduce the likelihood of problems arising later down the line, but will also lead to a more thorough and coherent research project.

Working on your essay but feeling stumped about how to go about writing a linking sentence? Not sure how to transition smoothly to your next paragraph?
Whatever it may be, we’re here to help you out! We’ll break down what a linking sentence is, how to use one, and how to build your confidence using one for essay-writing.
Scroll down to keep reading!
What is a Linking Sentence? Step 1: Choose your linking word and phrases Step 2: Linking within paragraphs Step 3: Linking to a new section
Put simply, a linking sentence is a sentence that relates to the main idea of your essay, namely your topic sentence.
Check out our tips for writing a topic sentence !
Linking sentences are important for the structure of your essay, ensuring that your paragraphs are cohesive and linking together one idea to another to create a fully formed argument. As such, linking sentences help to keep your essay clear and cohesive by explicitly highlighting the relationship between paragraphs.
Let’s get into how to use linking sentences in your essays!
Linking words and phrases comes in all shapes and forms to communicate different types of relationships between ideas. Here are a few useful linking words and phrases to keep handy when it comes time to write your essays:
Addition and emphasis If you want to show that the sentence builds on the previous one: Moreover Furthermore In addition In particular Undoubtedly
Cause and effect If you want to communicate consequences and the reasons behind them: As a result Therefore Thus Consequently Due to
Contrast If you want to express differences in ideas: However Nevertheless On the contrary In contrast Yet
Comparison If you want to highlight the similarities or differences between something: Similarly Likewise Compared to Just as Also
Now that we’ve categorised common types of linking words and phrases, it’s time to look at how this would come together to create a cohesive paragraph. Linking words in a paragraph help you to connect different points without confusing your reader.
Let’s look at an excerpt from a King Lear essay:
Within the very first interactions of King Lear , it is revealed to the audience that Gloucester has two sons, one of which is illegitimate. The line, ‘I thought the king had more affected the Duke of Albany than Cornwall’, is a subtle foreshadowing of the play’s central idea: the dynamics shared between parent and child. However, Shakespeare throws the audience askew with the discovery that Gloucester does not favour his legitimate son, evident through the line, ‘some year elder than this, who yet is no dearer in my account’. As a result, the conflict between Gloucester and Edgar reinforces the recurring idea of love as a measurement; a test that needs to be passed.
In this line, the use of ‘however’ is a linking word that signals to the readers a contrast from the previous line and highlights a juxtaposition.
The next sentence beginning with ‘as a result’ describes the effect of the previous line and what result it creates.
Studying King Lear at the moment? Check out our guide to analysing King Lear to ace your English !
Using linking words within a paragraph is easy to get the hang of once you know your intent but linking to a new section can be a little tricker.
Linking to a new section of your essay means that you will need to summarise your previous paragraph and either build or depart from that idea to fit with the main argument of your essay.
As we mentioned before, your linking sentence will tie in with your topic sentence, as this is the sentence that begins your paragraph and will lead your argument.
Here is an example of a leading sentence:
Building upon her analysis of poverty’s influence on individual and collective notions of identity, Walker explores the complexity of classism by considering its potential for personal growth.
Although we cannot see the previous paragraph, this linking sentence makes it clear that this paragraph will discuss classism and personal growth and relates to the previous paragraph’s analysis of poverty .
This linking sentence shows that the new paragraph complements the previous paragraph by providing information that supports the idea of social status influencing individual and collective identity.

Social relevance thesis, scientific relevance thesis, practical relevance thesis, sample relevance thesis, we are happy to review your thesis.
It is important that your thesis topic is relevant. That means it is useful for society, for science and/or for practice. Therefore, when choosing a thesis topic, also look at the relevance of your subject. Also, dedicate a paragraph in your introduction to the relevance of your thesis. Read below what to look out for.
The outcomes of your thesis should be interesting and useful to others in one or more ways. People should be able to do something with it: in practice, in science and/or in society.
You explain the relevance of your thesis in the introduction and address this in your plan of action.
A thesis topic can be relevant in several ways. For instance, your chosen topic should be relevant to your study field and your possible client. In addition, there are three types of relevance:
For practical theses, practical and social relevance are usually the most important. For university theses, scientific relevance can also be very important and practical relevance is not always as important. Your thesis supervisor can tell you what to pay more attention to in your thesis.
Besides choosing a relevant topic, your thesis topic must meet certain requirements . Furthermore, make sure you demarcate the topic properly.
A socially relevant thesis topic is useful to society. You help find a solution to a social problem or provide insight into a current issue with your thesis research.
For example, we speak of social relevance when...
In addition, your thesis may be academically relevant. This applies especially to theses written for a university course. The scientific relevance of your thesis means that your research complements existing scientific literature. You supplement the literature with new knowledge on a particular topic.
To choose a scientifically relevant topic, first, delve into available literature. What has already been researched? What are possible gaps in the literature?
We may speak of the scientific relevance of your thesis if e.g.
Are you writing your thesis for a client? In that case, the practical relevance of your thesis is important. Even if you are writing your thesis for your study programme, practical relevance is sometimes important.
There is practical relevance if your thesis leads to recommendations or insights that are useful to practitioners (a profession, industry, organisation, etc.).
Suppose you are writing a thesis for a GP practice on more effective education on diabetes for overweight patients. In this case, the results of your research will be relevant for the staff of this GP practice. Other GP practices may also benefit.
In the introduction of your thesis, you briefly note what makes your thesis topic relevant. This example shows how to describe the relevance of your thesis.
This study is practically relevant because the results will help GP practice Jansen to improve their education on diabetes. This will make it more appealing for the target group to attend this information evening and allow the practice to motivate more patients to start losing weight and thus prevent diabetes.
The recommendations arising from the study are also relevant for other GPs in the Netherlands and diabetes prevention in general. Obesity is a major contributor to type 2 diabetes, a disease currently affecting over X Dutch people. The more people are aware of the link between obesity and type 2 diabetes, the more we can prevent it from reaching that point in obese people.
Furthermore, this study is scientifically relevant because little research has been done on diabetes education in the form of presentations by GPs. Previously, leaflets and brochures on this disease have been studied, but little is known about presentations. This study contributes to the knowledge on this topic, providing a more complete picture of effective education about type 2 diabetes.
The relevance of your thesis is one of the many things you need to formulate correctly in your thesis. Do you doubt whether your thesis is well put together in terms of structure, argumentation, language and spelling? Have our experienced editors review your thesis and give you personal feedback.

Hey guys, So one issue I'm facing now is forming a concise essay with quotes and examples that directly target the question. I'm able to write dense paragraphs with lots of techniques and analysis (to the point where parts of my paragraph are too wordy and disjointed) but my teacher always calls me out for failing to link my analysis back to the question. How often do you need to throw in a linking statement that ties together your analysis to show the marker that you haven't deviated from the argument at hand and thus you are constantly answering the question? Is there a formula? Do you link it, say, after every second quote? Every third quote? Do some of you avoid linking statements until the final sentence of your paragraph and still manage to tick the A range for maintaining a consistent line of argument? If so, how do you guys do it and how do you guys suggest I should restructure my paragraphs to constantly address the question? For those of us who memorise, do you face the same issue when you adapt bits of your essay? Much appreciated.
Basically what you should do is: - First line of the paragraph should be a link to your thesis - The techniques you should use must be linked to your thesis - End your paragraph with another link to the question and at the same time linking it to the next paragraph

A dissertation is a long-form piece of academic writing based on original research conducted by you. It is usually submitted as the final step in order to finish a PhD program.
Your dissertation is probably the longest piece of writing you’ve ever completed. It requires solid research, writing, and analysis skills, and it can be intimidating to know where to begin.
Your department likely has guidelines related to how your dissertation should be structured. When in doubt, consult with your supervisor.

Dissertation committee and prospectus process, how to write and structure a dissertation, acknowledgements or preface, list of figures and tables, list of abbreviations, introduction, literature review, methodology, reference list, proofreading and editing, defending your dissertation, free checklist and lecture slides.
When you’ve finished your coursework, as well as any comprehensive exams or other requirements, you advance to “ABD” (All But Dissertation) status. This means you’ve completed everything except your dissertation.
Prior to starting to write, you must form your committee and write your prospectus or proposal . Your committee comprises your adviser and a few other faculty members. They can be from your own department, or, if your work is more interdisciplinary, from other departments. Your committee will guide you through the dissertation process, and ultimately decide whether you pass your dissertation defense and receive your PhD.
Your prospectus is a formal document presented to your committee, usually orally in a defense, outlining your research aims and objectives and showing why your topic is relevant . After passing your prospectus defense, you’re ready to start your research and writing.
Discover proofreading & editing
The structure of your dissertation depends on a variety of factors, such as your discipline, topic, and approach. Dissertations in the humanities are often structured more like a long essay , building an overall argument to support a central thesis , with chapters organized around different themes or case studies.
However, hard science and social science dissertations typically include a review of existing works, a methodology section, an analysis of your original research, and a presentation of your results , presented in different chapters.
We’ve compiled a list of dissertation examples to help you get started.
The very first page of your document contains your dissertation title, your name, department, institution, degree program, and submission date. Sometimes it also includes your student number, your supervisor’s name, and the university’s logo.
Read more about title pages
The acknowledgements section is usually optional and gives space for you to thank everyone who helped you in writing your dissertation. This might include your supervisors, participants in your research, and friends or family who supported you. In some cases, your acknowledgements are part of a preface.
Read more about acknowledgements Read more about prefaces
The abstract is a short summary of your dissertation, usually about 150 to 300 words long. Though this may seem very short, it’s one of the most important parts of your dissertation, because it introduces your work to your audience.
Your abstract should:

The table of contents lists all of your chapters, along with corresponding subheadings and page numbers. This gives your reader an overview of your structure and helps them easily navigate your document.
Remember to include all main parts of your dissertation in your table of contents, even the appendices. It’s easy to generate a table automatically in Word if you used heading styles. Generally speaking, you only include level 2 and level 3 headings, not every subheading you included in your finished work.
Read more about tables of contents
While not usually mandatory, it’s nice to include a list of figures and tables to help guide your reader if you have used a lot of these in your dissertation. It’s easy to generate one of these in Word using the Insert Caption feature.
Read more about lists of figures and tables
Similarly, if you have used a lot of abbreviations (especially industry-specific ones) in your dissertation, you can include them in an alphabetized list of abbreviations so that the reader can easily look up their meanings.
Read more about lists of abbreviations
In addition to the list of abbreviations, if you find yourself using a lot of highly specialized terms that you worry will not be familiar to your reader, consider including a glossary. Here, alphabetize the terms and include a brief description or definition.
Read more about glossaries
The introduction serves to set up your dissertation’s topic, purpose, and relevance. It tells the reader what to expect in the rest of your dissertation. The introduction should:
Everything in the introduction should be clear, engaging, and relevant. By the end, the reader should understand the what, why, and how of your research.
Read more about introductions
A formative part of your research is your literature review . This helps you gain a thorough understanding of the academic work that already exists on your topic.
Literature reviews encompass:
A literature review is not merely a summary of existing sources. Your literature review should have a coherent structure and argument that leads to a clear justification for your own research. It may aim to:

Your literature review can often form the basis for your theoretical framework. Here, you define and analyze the key theories, concepts, and models that frame your research.
Read more about theoretical frameworks
Your methodology chapter describes how you conducted your research, allowing your reader to critically assess its credibility. Your methodology section should accurately report what you did, as well as convince your reader that this was the best way to answer your research question.
A methodology section should generally include:
Read more about methodology sections
Your results section should highlight what your methodology discovered. You can structure this section around sub-questions, hypotheses , or themes, but avoid including any subjective or speculative interpretation here.
Your results section should:
Additional data (including raw numbers, full questionnaires, or interview transcripts) can be included as an appendix. You can include tables and figures, but only if they help the reader better understand your results. Read more about results sections
Your discussion section is your opportunity to explore the meaning and implications of your results in relation to your research question. Here, interpret your results in detail, discussing whether they met your expectations and how well they fit with the framework that you built in earlier chapters. Refer back to relevant source material to show how your results fit within existing research in your field.
Some guiding questions include:
If any of the results were unexpected, offer explanations for why this might be. It’s a good idea to consider alternative interpretations of your data.
Read more about discussion sections
Your dissertation’s conclusion should concisely answer your main research question, leaving your reader with a clear understanding of your central argument and emphasizing what your research has contributed to the field.
In some disciplines, the conclusion is just a short section preceding the discussion section, but in other contexts, it is the final chapter of your work. Here, you wrap up your dissertation with a final reflection on what you found, with recommendations for future research and concluding remarks.
It’s important to leave the reader with a clear impression of why your research matters. What have you added to what was already known? Why is your research necessary for the future of your field?
Read more about conclusions
It is crucial to include a reference list or list of works cited with the full details of all the sources that you used, in order to avoid plagiarism. Be sure to choose one citation style and follow it consistently throughout your dissertation. Each style has strict and specific formatting requirements.
Common styles include MLA , Chicago , and APA , but which style you use is often set by your department or your field.
Create APA citations Create MLA citations
Your dissertation should contain only essential information that directly contributes to answering your research question. Documents such as interview transcripts or survey questions can be added as appendices, rather than adding them to the main body.
Read more about appendices
Making sure that all of your sections are in the right place is only the first step to a well-written dissertation. Don’t forget to leave plenty of time for editing and proofreading, as grammar mistakes and sloppy spelling errors can really negatively impact your work.
Dissertations can take up to five years to write, so you will definitely want to make sure that everything is perfect before submitting. You may want to consider using a professional dissertation editing service , AI proofreader or grammar checker to make sure your final project is perfect prior to submitting.
After your written dissertation is approved, your committee will schedule a defense. Similarly to defending your prospectus, dissertation defenses are oral presentations of your work. You’ll present your dissertation, and your committee will ask you questions. Many departments allow family members, friends, and other people who are interested to join as well.
After your defense, your committee will meet, and then inform you whether you have passed. Keep in mind that defenses are usually just a formality; most committees will have resolved any serious issues with your work with you far prior to your defense, giving you ample time to fix any problems.
As you write your dissertation, you can use this simple checklist to make sure you’ve included all the essentials.

Investors are about to get a fresh look at Nvidia's artificial intelligence chip sales.
Nvidia ( NVDA -6.39% ) is at the epicenter of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. It designs the most powerful data center chips for AI development, and demand continues to outstrip supply which is driving a surge in the company's revenue and earnings.
After the closing bell today -- at around 5:00pm Eastern Time and 2:00pm Pacific -- Nvidia will release its financial results for its fiscal 2025's second quarter (ended July 31). The report will give investors a fresh look at the chip giant's sales, and what it expects for the rest of this year.
Here's what you need to know!
Image source: Nvidia.
Nvidia's official guidance points to $28 billion in total revenue for Q2, representing 107% growth compared to the year-ago period. That might be conservative, though, because Wall Street's consensus estimate has steadily climbed over the last couple of months and currently stands at $28.7 billion (according to LSEG).
Considering Nvidia delivered $26 billion in revenue during the first quarter (ended April 28), which was a whopping $2 billion more than the company had originally forecast, it's no surprise that analysts think a beat is in the cards for Q2.
The data center segment accounted for $22.6 billion of Nvidia's total Q1 revenue. All eyes will be on that number in the Q2 report because Nvidia's graphics processors ( GPU s) for the data center are critical to AI development . According to Wall Street, it could come in somewhere between $24.5 billion and $25.2 billion -- any result above the high end of that range will likely spark a fresh wave of enthusiasm in Nvidia stock.
Tech giants like Microsoft , Alphabet , and Meta Platforms (to name a few) have each committed to spending tens of billions of dollars on AI data center infrastructure this year, and a significant amount of that money will flow directly to Nvidia through GPU sales.
That includes sales of the H100 GPU which set the benchmark for the industry last year, and the more recent H200 which can perform AI inference at twice the pace of its predecessor. But there's also an entirely new generation of chips on the way.
Earlier this year, Nvidia announced a new GPU architecture called Blackwell. It's designed to accommodate trillion-parameter large language models (LLMs) which, until now, have only been developed by leading AI companies like OpenAI .
Blackwell-based GPUs will be capable of substantially higher performance relative to their predecessors, and Nvidia says they will also be significantly more energy efficient. For example, the new DGX B200 system combines eight Blackwell B200 GPUs and can train AI models three times faster, performing AI inference 15 times faster, than the older DGX H100 system.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says B200 GPUs will be priced at around $30,000 to $40,000, which is in the ballpark of what many customers paid for their H100 GPUs. In other words, given the substantial performance benefits, Blackwell will make it far more cost-efficient for businesses to access and deploy the most advanced AI models.
According to comments from Huang back in May, Nvidia should have started shipping Blackwell GPUs to customers in Q2, with sales ramping up as the year progresses. However, a recent report by The Information suggests a three-month delay could be due to a technical issue with the next-generation chips.
Nvidia hasn't confirmed those rumored delays, but investors should listen closely for comments on Q2 Blackwell sales and any update to its guidance for the remainder of fiscal 2025. Huang previously said he expects to see "a lot" of Blackwell revenue this year, so any variation to the company's timeline could substantially impact its future financial results.
Nvidia stock has soared 765% since the start of 2023, when the AI boom really started ramping up. It's now a $3.1 trillion company, so even a small move in its stock can be worth billions of dollars to its valuation.
While the performance of any stock on a given day is mostly noise, Nvidia reported its Q1 earnings after the bell on May 22, and its stock jumped 9.3% the following day. Remember, the company beat its revenue guidance by $2 billion on that occasion, so it's possible that a similar result this time around could yield a comparable increase in its stock price.
With that said, Nvidia stock is currently trading 7% below its all-time high following a steep market correction earlier this month, and if the company delivers weaker results than expected, its stock could slip into a much deeper drawdown.
However, Nvidia stock appears cheap right now for investors with a multi-year time horizon. Wall Street expects the company to deliver $0.64 in earnings per share in Q2, which will take its trailing 12-month earnings to $2.17. That places the stock at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 58.3.
Although that's almost twice as expensive as the Nasdaq-100 index, which trades at a P/E ratio of 32, the picture appears very different when looking further into the future. Analysts predict Nvidia will generate $3.81 in earnings per share in fiscal 2026, placing the stock at a more reasonable forward P/E ratio of 33.2.
In other words, as long as Nvidia's Q2 report doesn't produce a negative surprise, its stock looks like a good value at the current price for investors who can stay the course for at least the next couple of years.

Gus Walz stole the show Wednesday when his father, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, officially accepted the vice presidential nomination on the third night of the Democratic National Convention.
The 17-year-old stood up during his father’s speech and said, “That’s my dad,” later adding, “I love you, Dad.”
The governor and his wife, Gwen Walz, revealed in a People interview that their son was diagnosed with nonverbal learning disability as a teenager.
A 2020 study estimated that as many as 2.9 million children and adolescents in North America have nonverbal learning disability, or NVLD, which affects a person’s spatial-visual skills.
The number of people who receive a diagnosis is likely much smaller than those living with the disability, said Santhosh Girirajan, the T. Ming Chu professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and professor of genomics at Penn State.
“These individuals are very intelligent and articulate well verbally, but they are typically clumsy with motor and spatial coordination,” he told NBC News. “It’s called a learning disorder because there are a lot of cues other than verbal cues that are necessary for us to keep information in our memory.”
People with NVLD often struggle with visual-spatial skills, such as reading a map, following directions, identifying mathematical patterns, remembering how to navigate spaces or fitting blocks together. Social situations can also be difficult.
“Body language and some of the things we think about with day-to-day social norms, they may not be able to catch those,” Girirajan said.
Unlike other learning disabilities such as dyslexia, signs of the disability typically don't become apparent until adolescence.
Early in elementary school, learning is focused largely on memorization — learning words or performing straightforward mathematical equations, at which people with NVLD typically excel. Social skills are also more concrete, such as playing a game of tag at recess.
“But as you get older, there’s a lot more subtlety, like sarcasm, that you have to understand in social interactions, that these kids might not understand,” said Laura Phillips, senior director and senior neuropsychologist of the Learning and Development Center at the Child Mind Institute, a nonprofit organization in New York.
In her own practice, she typically sees adolescents with NVLD, who usually have an average or above average IQ, when school demands more integrated knowledge and executive functioning, such as reading comprehension or integrating learning between subjects. They also usually seek help for something else, usually anxiety or depression, which are common among people with NVLD.
Amy Margolis, director of the Environment, Brain, and Behavior Lab at Columbia University, is part of a group of researchers that is beginning to call the disability “developmental visual-spatial disorder” in an effort to better describe how it affects people who have it.
People with NVLD are “very much verbal,” Margolis said, contrary to what the name suggests.
The learning disability is sometimes misdiagnosed as autism spectrum disorder. Margolis led a 2019 study that found that although kids with autism spectrum disorder and NVLD often have overlapping traits, the underlying neurobiology — that is, what’s happening in their brains to cause these traits — is unique between the two conditions.
Margolis is trying to get NVLD recognized by the DSM-5, the handbook health care providers use to diagnose mental health conditions. Without such official recognition, people with NVLD can struggle to get the resources they need, such as special class placements or extra support in school.
“Without an officially recognized diagnosis, it’s hard for parents to understand how to seek information, and then communicate to other people what kinds of things might be challenging for their kid,” Phillips said, adding that widespread awareness is key to helping these families navigate NVLD.

The right to disconnect means you can reasonably refuse to be contacted outside of work hours.
For people tied to the "digital leash" of phones and email this marks a substantial boost in their right to break free.
Employees of smaller businesses will be able to disconnect after work on August 22, 2025.
Millions of Australians will now be able to clock off from their work shifts without having to be available after hours.
Under right to disconnect laws, employees from Monday will have the right to refuse contact outside their working hours — including calls and emails — unless that refusal is unreasonable.
"Oh, it'll be a weight off my shoulders, for sure," said shift worker Lachy.
He is looking forward to living his life outside of work hours, without worrying if the phone will ring with news about his job.
"It'll give me some of my life back. Even going out to walk the dogs, going out with the mates," he said.
"If I receive a phone call, there is some expectation that I do pick up."
Performing extra unpaid hours of work is common in Australia and many jobs come with an expectation of being contactable beyond paid or rostered hours.
But the right to disconnect is aiming to create limits around this work culture and the so-called 'digital leash' of phones, laptops and easily accessible email.
While it may be welcome news to employees, it doesn't mean the boss can't call you.
What it does mean is you might not have to answer.
The distinction is important. Brent Ferguson, head of national workplace relations policy for employer body Ai Group, explained the new laws won't bring an end to late-night calls.
"This isn't a prohibition on an employer contacting or attempting to contact an employee," he said.
"It's a new right for an employee to refuse that contact, to refuse to monitor their emails, or to refuse to take a telephone call from their employer, if it's outside of their working hours."
While the details are still being worked out, one thing is clear: today workers at businesses with more than 15 employees get the right to disconnect.
The legislation is thin, but it states that if there is a dispute, it has to be first dealt with "at the workplace level by discussions" between workers and bosses.
"It is subject to that important caveat that [employees] can only refuse if their refusal is 'not unreasonable'," Mr Ferguson said.
"Now, what's reasonable or unreasonable is going to depend on the individual circumstances.
"And that uncertainty is part of the difficulty that industry is really grappling with at the moment."
Academic Gabrielle Golding said the COVID-19 pandemic and enforced "work from home" periods promoted growth in what she calls "availability creep".
"During that time when we were, by and large, forced to work from home, we were kind of training ourselves to be constantly available within our homes and elsewhere outside of the workplace," she said.

Even as restrictions rolled back, cheap and easy access to digital connectivity meant being available became a default setting for employees.
Many employers took advantage of it, but the new laws should give workers the option to reset.
"If we have some sort of a 'guard rail' in place like this, it will change the patterns in the way in which people are conducting work," Dr Golding said.
"And hopefully give them an opportunity to take some of their private life back."
Just like doctors who work on call and shift workers who get penalties for starting early in the morning, it could be that disconnect laws prompt people who are expected to be available to win compensation for that time in future.
The legislation has a requirement that disputes are dealt with at a workplace level first.
Sally McManus, secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), said "workers have got a brand new right", which is "really awesome".
Sally McManus says the right to disconnect means if your employer contacts you, "it has got to be reasonable". ( ABC News: Ian Cutmore )
"What that basically means is your employer can't harass you after work," she said.
"So emails, calls … if they contact you, it's got to be reasonable, and you've got a right not to respond."
Ms McManus said "if you work, you should get paid" and the right to disconnect will enable workers to put in place boundaries between their work and personal life.
"Not all employers, but some employers have completely blurred or just crossed over those boundaries and are expecting people to be connected and answer their emails and look at their phones, 24/7," she said.
"And that's just not on."
Lachy works at Melbourne Airport, a role that requires him to work shifts at odd times.
"If you go to check in for a flight, I'll be there. You go to board a flight, I'll be there," he said.
Like many who work difficult and unsociable hours, he struggles to rest and sometimes wakes up to missed calls and texts.
Lachy works shifts at the airport and has welcomed the idea of not having to answer work calls after hours. ( ABC News: Billy Draper )
"There'll be days where I'm not rostered to work but I wake up to a call from work thinking: 'Hang on, what day is it? When am I scheduled to work?'
"It's reminiscent of when you would be waking up like for a school day and thinking: 'Oh crap, I'm late.'
"I suppose it's a form of anxiety. You feel the phone ring, and I don't think 'Oh it's one of my friends or family'. I think: 'It's work.'"
Lachy loves his job, taking a call from his employer while the ABC is interviewing him at his house, but he is looking forward to being protected when he reasonably refuses contact from them.
"Just the expectation to be taken off my shoulders that I don't have to check my phone every few minutes to see if there's been any changes to my roster," he said.
"[Or] if they've sent out any emails that are changing how we're working. It'll be a weight off my shoulders, for sure."
More than 20 countries have put in place similar laws, and research has found improved wellbeing and work satisfaction in companies with right-to-disconnect policies.
In Australia, Telstra has set boundaries around employees being contacted — or feeling like they should be available — for years.
Despite being in the business of selling communications, and the need for constant monitoring and maintenance of vital networks, the company has built in boundaries so staff are not "always on".
Telstra human resources executive Kathryn van rer Merwe said there will "always be a requirement to contact certain people for certain types of situations". ( ABC News: Matthew Holmes )
"A lot of it comes down to behaviours and work practises," said Kathryn van der Merwe, the human resources executive in charge of Telstra's 31,000 employees.
"It's reminding our people of the importance of having a conversation within your team, with a leader and a team agreeing a set of 'team norms' and work practises.
"And reminding people that we also have tools that actually help to respect those boundaries and personal time."
Dr van der Merwe suggested tools such as the "delay send" function on emails, or stating a person's normal working days and hours in their email signature.
There will always be a need for certain people and roles to have a reasonable expectation of being contactable, she said, and many are compensated specifically for that.
For everyone else, Dr van der Merwe sees the start of the right to disconnect as a reminder to work in ways that respect an employee's personal time.
"We all, I think, have felt that blurring between work and personal life, particularly as we spend more time working from home."
"This gives us a chance to have a renewed conversation [about] some of our ways of working and to reset some norms to help firm up those boundaries."
The legislation requires the Fair Work Commission (FWC) to provide guidelines around the new entitlement. But it has so far declined to do so.
Instead, FWC found it would be better off issuing guidelines after it has dealt with a few disputes around the new entitlement.

So expect to see "test cases" that tease out the difficult legal and practical nature of the word 'reasonable' and what it means in a world where mobile phones are ubiquitous and employees want flexibility in how and where they can work.
"The new entitlement is cast in very broad terms," Mr Ferguson said.
"We're going to have to see how it operates in practice over time to understand exactly what the parameters of the new right are."
Ms McManus believes the new right could take us back to a time when the life/work balance of Australians was in better shape.
"We have lost that over a period of time," she said, noting that Australians' long working hours harm mental health.
"If you're constantly connected, if you're not able to switch off, if you're not able to refresh and recuperate … obviously you're going to be a worse worker."
The right to disconnect could end what she calls "unreasonable pressure" on workers.
"So this is actually good for employers, as well as for workers," Ms McManus said.
"A more productive workforce where people actually are rested enough and they're not constantly driven by the beeping and the notifications on their phone."

A Seagull electric vehicle from Chinese automaker BYD for test driving is parked outside a showroom in Beijing on April 10. The tiny, low-priced electric vehicle called the Seagull has American automakers and politicians trembling. The car, launched last year by Chinese automaker BYD, sells for around $12,000 in China. But it drives well and is put together with craftsmanship that rivals U.S.-made electric vehicles that cost three times as much. Tariffs on imported Chinese vehicles probably will keep the Seagull away from America’s shores for now. Ng Han Guan/AP hide caption
President Joe Biden is expected to finalize significant tariffs on some Chinese imports this week.
The taxes are a continuation of Donald Trump's tough-on-China trade policies . Both men have touted these kinds of tariffs as a way to protect American jobs.
But do they really?
Sanjay Patnaik, Director of the Center on Regulation and Markets at the Brookings Institution, told Morning Edition it’s a little more complicated because tariffs can actually lead to job losses and higher costs for U.S. consumers.
A tariff is basically a tax on imported goods that come from abroad, Patnaik said.
“So let's say we have a German car that is being manufactured in Germany, and as that car enters the U.S., [the importers] have to pay a tax or tariff at the border to the American government,” Patnaik said.
Biden’s new tariffs on China range from 100% tariffs on electric vehicles to 50% on solar cells and 25% on aluminum and steel products and respirators and face masks. Other hikes will go into effect in 2025 and 2026.
Patnaik said the impact of tariffs is mixed and depends on the industry.
“When we look at the at the record of the Trump administration and the Biden administration in terms of tariffs, what we have seen so far is that the latest studies show that there is a net loss in jobs, at least of 140,000 to 275,000 jobs across industries and an increase in prices and additional costs that American consumers have to pay,” Patnaik said.
He added that this could continue with the tariffs that President Biden is considering in that the higher cost of these tariffs could be passed on to U.S. consumers.
Patnaik points to tariffs on steel that Trump placed on Chinese steel and aluminum during his presidency – which Biden kept.
The tariffs may have protected a few jobs in the U.S. steel industry, Patnaik said, but any company using the products would “have to pay higher prices and oftentimes they have to reduce output or they have to absorb those costs and cannot produce as much and might not be able to hire as many people as they would otherwise.”
Ohio U.S. Sen. and Trump VP pick JD Vance defended the former president’s tariffs in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press . Vance argued they were necessary because China’s practices undercut wages of American workers and that they wouldn’t raise costs for U.S. consumers.
But estimates show that American families paid upwards of a couple hundred dollars annually due to the tariffs, Patnaik said.
Trump’s tariffs cost Americans about $80 billion, according to an analysis from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation .
Patnaik added that if the U.S wants to rein in China economically, it should deepen its economic ties through more trade and free trade agreements with its allies.
“We currently do not, for instance, have a free trade agreement with Japan. We do not have a free trade agreement with the European Union or with the U.K., and I think that would be a very good way to deepen our ties with those allies and make sure that we have common market with our closest friends around the world because this could really provide a counterweight to China,” Patnaik said.
The U.S. and Japan do have a trade agreement focused on minerals needed for electric vehicle batteries that was signed last year but not a comprehensive free trade agreement, according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

Here's a head-scratcher: Why did Mark Zuckerberg just send Congress a letter admitting that Meta has screwed up in the past?
I have a hunch.
But before you can get into that, you have to look at what Zuckerberg actually said in his letter to Jim Jordan , the Republican lawmaker who has spent years trying to find evidence of an anti-conservative bias in Big Tech.
Very briefly:
In online conservative circles, starting with Jordan himself, Zuckerberg's letter/mea culpa is supposed to be a very big deal: a "Big win for free speech," as Jordan's judiciary committee tweeted .
Related stories
But if you take a closer look at what Zuckerberg said, and didn't say, you may come to the conclusion I've reached: that Zuckerberg very carefully gave Jordan just enough to claim a political victory — but without getting Meta in any further trouble while it defends itself against a federal antitrust suit .
Let's dig in. The first item in the letter, about the Biden White House pressuring Facebook during the pandemic, is by far the most politically meaningful.
For years, conservatives like Jordan have argued that Big Tech companies like Facebook have an anti-Republican bias. And here, finally, you have a Big Tech CEO saying a Democratic administration did indeed try to influence what happened on the platform. And that Zuckerberg now regrets some of the calls his team made about COVID content during the election.
People who pay attention to Silicon Valley and its internal fights over moderation on platforms like Facebook will know that Zuckerberg's comments are pretty mild. It's well established that various government bodies — including the Trump White House — were talking to all the platforms about COVID posts, among other things. And that there's been an industrywide pendulum swing against some of the platform-moderation efforts that built up over the years.
Still, there is something to be said for having the guy running one of the biggest platforms to say that stuff to lawmakers out loud, on the record.
Will that sway an undecided voter a few months before the 2024 election? I don't think so. But Republicans will try to make it so.
The letter becomes markedly less important after that. Zuckerberg's pledge not to fund voter-registration efforts doesn't seem very important since the pandemic has subsided. And while he acknowledges that those donations have been politicized by "some people" — which would include Jordan and other Republicans — he says his only regret about them is that they were politicized .
But the most telling thing about Zuckerberg's letter is the laptop anecdote.
If you're a normal person, the "Hunter Biden laptop story" probably doesn't mean much to you. If you spend time with a particular strain of conservative, it means a lot: It's a laptop containing all kinds of embarrassing emails and documents created by Joe Biden's son, which was initially dismissed by many people as a 2020 election hoax (for context: The Wall Street Journal , which had a first crack at the story, ended up passing; when the Post ran the story, one of the authors had his byline removed from the piece).
The concern that the laptop story was some kind of hack or disinformation campaign was why Twitter (bear with me here) prevented users from sharing links to the New York Post's coverage of the story in October 2020 — a dramatic overreach the company subsequently apologized for .
But now, Zuckerberg says, Facebook has admitted that it, too, made it harder for its users to get to that story. Aha!
Except you don't need a congressional committee to uncover that one. Because Facebook told the world it was doing that , as it was doing that.
Here's Facebook's rep Andy Stone, on October 14, 2020.
While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook's third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform. — Andy Stone (@andymstone) October 14, 2020
What if you were busy back then — what with the pandemic, and the election and all — and missed it?
No problem. Facebook executives have talked about this multiple times. Like in 2022, when Zuckerberg went on one of the world's most popular podcasts and told Joe Rogan why it "sucks" that he got the laptop story wrong. "When we take down something that we're not supposed to, that's the worst."
As maybe-well-intentioned-but-definitely-mistaken platform decisions go, making it hard to find the New York Post's coverage of the laptop story wasn't great. But it wasn't nearly as embarrassing as Twitter's call, which is why you don't hear many people obsessing about it today.
But "not a lot of people knowing about something" is not nearly the same as "Mark Zuckerberg admitting something." The former statement is true. The second isn't, but is way more exciting.
Which again, seems like the point of the whole exercise: Zuckerberg has tried to give Jim Jordan and his party a win — while giving them very little at all.
