2022/04/17 | 943 | 3,999 | <issue_start>username_0: I just want to make sure that I understand this issue correctly. My situation is that I developed a chapter of my master's thesis as a chapter in my PhD dissertation. It is a substantial revision but they do have some overlaps.
I did some research online about self-plagiarism. Here is somethin... |

2022/04/08 | 1,458 | 6,217 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm an early-career academic in economics/social science trying to keep on top of things. In my previous professional life, I have kept an RSS feed, but I have a hard time finding good ways of doing that. Many more articles are published than I have the time to read because of my interdisciplin... |
2022/04/19 | 1,148 | 4,658 | <issue_start>username_0: **Background:** I am a junior undergrad math major in India, and I am taking a graduate-level math course this semester for which attendance is mandatory.

Polish Ph.D. schools ask for a CV, not "*all the transcript from all the attended programs*" as they ask in North America.
Therefore, can I skip the information regarding my... |
2022/04/19 | 2,866 | 12,245 | <issue_start>username_0: I have a question about how to organize a paper, and completely disagree with the way my advisor wants it done. The field is operations research, and involves mostly a bunch of mathematical theorems. For the purpose of this discussion, say there are two sections: Preliminaries and Results -- th... |
2022/04/19 | 7,126 | 29,533 | <issue_start>username_0: I would like to pursue my master's studies in mathematics in Russia. Yet, I was told that there's a possibility of foreign universities not recognizing Russian degrees due to the current political situation and sanctions.

**Is this a valid con... |
2022/04/19 | 945 | 3,992 | <issue_start>username_0: I recently worked on a grant proposal for a project. As it sometimes happens to post-doc researchers, to move forwards in their career they have to ask a senior researcher to act as the principal investigator of the project. Often, grants do not provide a difference between PI and author, so it... |
