2021/08/10 | 517 | 2,130 | <issue_start>username_0: In mathematics, it is standard to use "we" instead of "I", even in single author papers.
Is this the case for job and grant applications as well?
For instance, suppose I wish to say something to the effect of:
>
> To study (problem), **I** will extend (technique) from **my** past work [citati... |

2021/08/10 | 821 | 3,477 | <issue_start>username_0: In the United States, I think it is required by law in several states to make salary information at universities public. In general, in most western universities, it may not be very hard to find salary information, particularly the publicly-funded ones.
Is there any benefit to universities by ... |
2021/08/10 | 937 | 3,719 | <issue_start>username_0: Currently, there are plenty of options to publish an open-access paper. From using purely open-access journals (free of charge or for a fee) to opting-in for an open-access license in the traditional journal ([usually for a fee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_open-access_journal)). Howeve... |
2021/08/10 | 4,043 | 17,078 | <issue_start>username_0: I am currently reviewing a theoretical CS paper that is incredibly technical and mathematical. I’ve been reviewing the paper for longer than a year now, and I am finally recommending the paper to be accepted as I believe that it is a significant push in a certain problem in my subfield.

2021/08/10 | 351 | 1,568 | <issue_start>username_0: I have conducted two hands-on training programs. I cannot decide whether or not I should mention this training experience in my SOP. I have quite a few publications, some conference papers, and 2 years of research experience. Will the addition of conducting the training programs as a "teaching"... |
2021/08/10 | 625 | 2,660 | <issue_start>username_0: I have just completed my bachelor, and wish to pursue a masters in the field of robotics. However, during my bachelors, I was not able to build a good research profile and do not have any publications in my name.
Therefore, I would like to join a project group in a university and work under th... |
2021/08/10 | 1,052 | 4,596 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a bachelor student and have been working for a professor since the last two years on a paper for which I was paid.

2021/08/11 | 377 | 1,584 | <issue_start>username_0: A professor had agreed to an internship and asked me to remind her again before the start of August.
She has not responded to the reminder email I sent 10 days ago. Should I mail her again? Is it impolite to call her in her office?
I was very eagerly looking forward to work with her, so yes, I’... |

2021/08/11 | 7,913 | 34,314 | <issue_start>username_0: I will speak from my experience as an integrated-Masters graduate in Physics in UK, but I think this is applicable to any discipline.
Universities got it right when it comes to laboratory experiments or research projects during the degree: they make students work in **pairs**. I loved my final... |
2021/08/11 | 956 | 4,217 | <issue_start>username_0: I submitted a paper to a mathematics journal last year and got a "revise and resubmit" type of response. I edited the paper following some of the referees' comments and suggestions, but the paper has changed quite substantially since then. I brought on a coauthor, reworked some of the basics (n... |
2021/08/11 | 3,427 | 14,794 | <issue_start>username_0: I have many PDFs (articles, reports and other literature) in various folders, and most of them are also in Endnote, which I have always used as a reference manager. However, the references in Endnote are not linked to the PDFs (most of the references were downloaded from journals' pages, but En... |
2021/08/11 | 1,610 | 6,590 | <issue_start>username_0: I just finished my second year in a social science PhD program and have only one semester left to finish my coursework.

I have no doubt that there is a plenty of information about X online an... |
2021/08/12 | 2,741 | 11,057 | <issue_start>username_0: The kind of full-face veil I'm thinking of is the [Niqāb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niq%C4%81b) - it covers the entire face except the eyes.
I don't have any ideological objections to people who choose to wear the full-face veil. However, by its very nature, the veil makes it hard to hear ... |
2021/08/12 | 926 | 3,324 | <issue_start>username_0: I found a paper in a top journal in my area [here](https://academic.oup.com/rfs/article/32/7/2587/5079300?login=true).

Hence, I would consider this date the target end date for my PhD after which I would like to move on from my curren... |
2021/08/12 | 321 | 1,226 | <issue_start>username_0: I got used to using 'i.e.' and 'e.g.' to give more details or give examples, but I have been told that I overuse them. When is it appropriate to remove them? When should I absolutely use them?
I feel I should use it all the time if I use one of those at least once in a manuscript.<issue_commen... |
2021/08/12 | 3,720 | 15,800 | <issue_start>username_0: Last term I was supervising a very good student for his B.Sc. graduation project. Upon his request, I suggested the topic and gave a clear reading list, tasks, and a roadmap for the entire project.
