My question is: how can I assess, as a stranger to the field, what research material can be considered relevant to a certain topic I have in mind and which ... |
2022/02/04 | 1,104 | 4,799 | <issue_start>username_0: I have written a paper together with a co-author. The co-author is a former assistant of mine. The paper is based on my idea but they have done quite a bit of work on it. We had a generally good relationship. The paper has been rejected twice and in the third attempt there was a request for a m... |
2022/02/04 | 909 | 3,947 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm applying to a university for a Ph.D., which requires 2 letters of recommendation. I asked a professor to submit this letter 8 days before the deadline (and provided him the necessary e-mail link within hours). It is now due 2 days before the deadline. This professor still hasn't submitted h... |
2022/02/04 | 1,347 | 5,554 | <issue_start>username_0: I am currently an undergraduate who likes to think about research a lot. My email is “<EMAIL>”, however in all my papers I am listed as “<NAME>”.
Frequently I will email people about their preprints, asking questions and pointing out slight typos or gaps in their proofs. They typically react v... |
2022/02/04 | 808 | 3,496 | <issue_start>username_0: I am going in for an on campus interview next week. I was told I need to do a 30 minute presentation on a "calculus topic" (the job is for a math tutoring center director at a small liberal arts college). I was told I can use white board space or any other technology. Originally, I thought this... |
2022/02/04 | 1,689 | 6,946 | <issue_start>username_0: Professors in research universities often rely on graduate students as research assistants who work on a variety of tasks including analysis, coding, experimentation, and writing. When funding is available, hiring graduate students shouldn't be too difficult.
In the place I work, I don't have m... |
2022/02/04 | 1,027 | 4,297 | <issue_start>username_0: I am nearing the end of my part-time doctoral journey (EE).
I have successfully worked on a number of topics and have already published more than the average full-time doctoral graduate in my advisor's research group.
My preliminary exam took place almost a year ago and since then I believe I... |
2022/02/04 | 892 | 3,813 | <issue_start>username_0: When I was a freshman I got caught cheating on a homework (really just looked at a similar question online trying to figure out how and filled in the wrong number) and got a 0 on the assignment. I'm now working on grad school apps and am being asked if I ever had a sanction against me, if I've ... |
2022/02/05 | 477 | 1,950 | <issue_start>username_0: I have a PhD in agronomy. I now want to get more hands-on experience in plant breeding. Most post doctoral positions I see require applicants to have graduated no more than 2 years before applying.
I don't fit into this category as I have graduated long after the past 2 years. Do I apply for a... |
2022/02/05 | 1,007 | 4,159 | <issue_start>username_0: I completed my undergrad and masters at UofT (Toronto) in CS (my field is CS Theory/Online learning) and I was interested in applying elsewhere for a PhD. I am in a fortunate position to have received PhD offers from some great schools in the US (CMU and Harvard). I also have an offer to contin... |
2022/02/05 | 310 | 1,325 | <issue_start>username_0: I am continuing the topic from my project thesis as my master thesis with more additional work.
I have to refer/cite to some of my own results from the Project thesis in my master thesis document. Is there any standard way to follow? Or is it no different from referring to other research paper... |
2022/02/05 | 492 | 2,043 | <issue_start>username_0: An article of mine has been accepted by a Springer journal.
I want to publish this article in Open Access.
My institute is a pretty small one and cannot fund my research. Is there any worldwide funding agency I can approach? I am from India.<issue_comment>username_1: I assume that you mean hav... |
2022/02/05 | 1,253 | 5,156 | <issue_start>username_0: I am in computer science in the usa with a PHD offer. I’ve been told that if u get funded with a TA position, it doesn’t necessarily slow your graduation time. Is this true? It seems obvious to me that someone who works more on research will be able to graduate faster.
I’m asking because I do ... |
2022/02/06 | 416 | 1,822 | <issue_start>username_0: I have recently accepted an invitation for reviewership. I was asked to review a paper submitted to a well-known conference. Because of my carelessness (or laxness, if you will), I didn't realize that one of the authors is my former colleague whose name appears on several papers as a co-author.... |
2022/02/06 | 897 | 3,912 | <issue_start>username_0: I would like to get into a mathematics MSc or PhD program. My undergraduate degree is in physics and I have completed the most basic mathematics courses, like calculus, linear algebra.
In the final year of my physics degree I found a new interest in differential geometry. I even completed a gr... |
2022/02/06 | 1,344 | 5,912 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a fifth-year Ph.D candidate in Applied Mathematics (my general research interests include probability theory & stochastic processes & PDEs) at a research university in U.S. and I have applied for almost 80 postdoc positions (via Mathjobs.com and Interfolio) in U.S. and Europe, and up to no... |
2022/02/06 | 658 | 2,920 | <issue_start>username_0: I want to apply for a Master's degree in computer science in Italy. I noticed that some Master's programs in Italy give you less than one semester to work on your thesis.
My goal is to apply for a Ph.D. program afterward. Considering that your thesis and having good publications are very impor... |
2022/02/06 | 4,296 | 18,201 | <issue_start>username_0: There is a pattern I keep seeing and I'm very curious about the reason behind it.
Let's say you're going to read a paper on astronomy: In order to understand it, you need to know some basics about the topic. Similarly, a paper on electronics will require some basic knowledge of the topic if th... |
2022/02/07 | 620 | 2,533 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm an undergraduate writing my senior project paper. Had a good advisor who approved my topic and just let me write, we talked once every other week and he'd just share useful articles, give feedback on what I'd written, etc.
I had to change advisor due to schedule conflicts and my current ad... |
2022/02/07 | 1,433 | 6,445 | <issue_start>username_0: A paper I wrote was recently accepted for publication. In one of our figures, we report our results juxtaposed against results from another paper published in a different journal. To perform a quantitative comparison, we did the following:
* Download the PDF of the other paper. The relevant fi... |
2022/02/07 | 641 | 2,672 | <issue_start>username_0: My problem is the following:
I have a last name that is composed of two names. In some of my papers, the two names are hyphenated (in others, they aren't).
So basically my full name is either written as:
*Firstname Lastname1-Lastname2* or as *Firstname Lastname1 Lastname2*.
Because of that,... |
2022/02/07 | 620 | 2,645 | <issue_start>username_0: What is your strategy when submitting an article?
I am asking because I wonder if it hurts to try submitting to a top journal even if the paper is clearly not good enough. Worse come worse I get a desk rejection and a couple of comments from the editor. If I am lucky, I get some reviewers' com... |
2022/02/07 | 1,051 | 4,694 | <issue_start>username_0: I teach a seminar where I organize an anonymous peer review procedure among the students.
One of my students gave another colleague an exceptionally helpful feedback. The recipient was so grateful and impressed that they asked me to reveal the name of the reviewer. I received permission from t... |
