Analyse your interest, before being a doctoral candidate. What can be your professional evolution with a PhD? Statistics about doctoral studies in France. Some indicators.
French laws about PhD studies PhD studies, "Co-tutelle", What is an "Ecole Doctorale"?, All the texts
Where may I provide guidance for PhD? "Ecole Doctorale Cognition, Langage, Interaction" N° 224 Université Paris 8, France
"Doutorado na Universidade Fernando Pessoa" (Porto, Portugal)
Do you want that I look over your candidature?
Find a grant! The funds to cover the expenses of a PhD have to be find by a granted project, because nor the university, nor the government, nor myself, we have some funds for the financial support of PhD students or for the financial support of their scientific activity. At the opposite, it is normal to get funds from the beneficiaries of the research results. Thus we are forced to consider more the finalized researches. For example with CIFRE.
Write your resume in a "standard" way.
Write your PhD project, "Plano de intenções para a tese de doutoramento"
If I accept your proposal, you can postulate officialy to the university. If the University also accepts your candidature, you won the right to be a student for PhD!

As soon as possible, begin managing your readings and your bibliography with modern solutions, like Zotero or Mendeley. They are free and automatic, so they are indispensable to write scientific articles and theses, the basic activity for a PhD level student. Do not forget the integration with your wordprocessor software. Those softwares must be used, at minimum, with "Google Books", "Google Scolar", "Google Patents", but also with any of the compatible sites mentioned in this list.
Learn how to use correctly a wordprocessor, how to write a scientific publication.
Be informed of the activities of the various scientific societies in sciences of information and the communication.
Look for call for paper in Sciences of Information and the Communication (beware of travel costs).
Look for scientific journals, in the scientific field, to submit your paper (best scientific impact, lower costs) :
in the "InformationR.net",
in the list of the 492 journals (2010-07) identified as full text Journals in Information Science, by the scientific Brasilian comunity (Portal dos periodicos da CAPES),
in the list of the 333 journals (2010-07) identified as full text Journals in Comunication Science, by the scientific Brasilian comunity (Portal dos periodicos da CAPES),
in the 104 Journals in the field of Library and Information Science included in the Directory of Open Acces Journal (DOAJ),
in the Centre for open electronic publishing (revues.org),
in the results of the Pr. Philippe Jeanin Survey.

But if you want the recognition of your publications in France: You will only be a productive researcher only if you have a sufficient number of publications in journals included in the list of journals from the Evaluation Agency of Research and Higher Education (AERES). Moreover, if your Scientific integration in the 71st section CNU of the National Council of french Universities is required, it is better that your publications include some journals of list of the 75 journals she provided. If not, you will have to argue that your publications are in the scientific field and that the quality of the choosen journals respects the edicted rules. You will have to do so, because the list of the 75 recognized journals is not enough to satisfy the publication necessity of the french community in Science of Information and of the Communication. To be considered as productive searcher, the nearly 1000 PhD students plus the nearly 1000 permanent researchers and the 300 associated researchers, of this scientific field in France, have to publish at minimum of an article each two years (Thus 1150 articles per year, quantity that has to be shared with other countries in case of international journals). This reasonning is amplified if you do not count the journals with difficult access because without distributors. So, you will augment your chance to be published, enlarging your choice of journals for your scientific submissions, having also a more interesting comportment, being less endogenic. Finally, you will put in practice the reality of the transdisciplinary principle of the Science of Information and the Communication.

And do not forget to evaluate the impact of your work with the analysis of the citations using the wonderful software from Harzing : "Publish or Perish"

In the next sections we will provide all the necessary links to monitor this 75 journals list, and way to read the freely available summaries from this list, using RSS feeds.
