2022/07/01 | 723 | 3,023 | <issue_start>username_0: Recently I had a paper sent back to me (rejected) with two referee reports. This is not that surprising as this was a very good journal. The problem is that the identity of one of the referees is revealed even though it's supposed to be a single-blind system. This wouldn't be too much of a prob... |

2022/07/02 | 576 | 2,391 | <issue_start>username_0: I find a few typos a few days after submitting a paper in the field of applied math (mathematical social science). The typos are in the proof to the main theorem: I've wrongly written some variables "j" as "i". Some formulas were supposed to contain both i's and j's, but some of them were switc... |
2022/07/02 | 407 | 1,782 | <issue_start>username_0: I submitted a cover letter through the journal's website contact form (which has no option to upload a file) and recieved an email confirming receipt by the editor who stated their interest to read the manuscript and thanked us for the submission and that they will get in touch after four weeks... |

* Is following a curriculum from a university a good way to achieve my goals?
* If the ans... |
2022/07/03 | 606 | 2,661 | <issue_start>username_0: I am an early-career researcher in mathematics. In general, after submitting a paper to a journal, it is advised to wait six months before requesting information about the status of the review process. In other words, in mathematics peer review takes a lot of time.
Having said that, I tend not... |
2022/07/03 | 684 | 3,074 | <issue_start>username_0: I am working for a research organization where a senior member, holding a coordination role, <NAME>, gives reference letters to people that he does not know well. It is a large organization and John has written tens of reference letters within the last year. Everyone seems to know this and acce... |
2022/07/03 | 1,564 | 6,489 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm a M.A. student in Art History looking to apply to PhD programs in the Fall. I have heard that it is important when choosing an advisor to pick one that is good/efficient in getting their students academic postings/postdoctoral work. I'm not sure what the validity of this statement is given ... |
2022/07/04 | 782 | 3,343 | <issue_start>username_0: Until now, I never engaged in presenting a conference paper. In the near future, I may likely need to give a seminar on a conference paper. In order to gain knowledge about conference presentations, I watched videos of seminars given by authors of accepted papers of previous years which are ava... |
2022/07/04 | 1,458 | 6,435 | <issue_start>username_0: I am currently pursuing my PhD in mechanical engineering in the US and currently working (as part of a team of graduates) with my advisor on a research project.

2022/07/04 | 710 | 3,133 | <issue_start>username_0: I am looking for postdocs in computer science in the US. My spouse and children will not be able to move. So I have decided to look for positions at universities very close to my city. This puts me in the slightly strange position of having to look for postdocs in areas not very connected to my... |
2022/07/04 | 1,540 | 6,693 | <issue_start>username_0: I am in an advanced stage of my phd, finishing next year. I have 2-first author publications in which I used data from my group. My research group has different datasets stored in `MySQL` server, in which each researcher accessed their relevant dataset.
In my 2 previous publications, I exporte... |
2022/07/05 | 3,895 | 16,092 | <issue_start>username_0: A year ago we submitted a manuscript to a high-profile journal. I was a co-author. The review process for this journal is single-blind—that is, the authors do not know who the referees are, while the referees know who the authors are—and we got two referee reports, one positive and one negative... |

I am interested in knowing how should I compare the research of 2 pure mathematicians working in same field, say topology. I want to work with one of them for my master's thesis. Both have the same specialization. This will also help me to... |
2022/07/06 | 1,087 | 4,734 | <issue_start>username_0: I have recently submitted some work we did with one of our PhD students to one of ASME's Journals and the editor rejected the paper on the spot (without sending it for review) because the submitted paper did not cite any paper from their journal. The editor was arguing that we should include re... |
2022/07/06 | 623 | 2,741 | <issue_start>username_0: I am an Indian physics student, studying mathematical aspects of quantum field theory and such. Over the years, I have realised that I do not enjoy the mathematical hand waviness that goes into theoretical physics. I often find myself asking about the validity of theorems stated by authors in g... |
2022/07/06 | 579 | 2,511 | <issue_start>username_0: An old research article of my PhD supervisor with his previous student who worked in cancer is retracted due to similarity in images. My supervisor was the corresponding author. I was not a co-author. If my supervisor suffers reputational damage, how would this affect my own career? Can there b... |
2022/07/06 | 774 | 3,206 | <issue_start>username_0: Vague question, I know. But allow me to explain it.
I'm a second-year undergrad student in Physics. I entered in the pandemics, and, due to laziness and some personal issues, up to this point, I don't have a stellar record. Not any actual failures or anything of the kind (although I might have... |

The part-time job is from the same university, research-related, and in the same domain(but the techni... |
2022/07/08 | 1,612 | 6,835 | <issue_start>username_0: May seem obvious, but don't strike me as such. I'm a undergrad physics student at University of Campinas, in Brazil. From what I took out of my professors, I noted that most, if not all, of them did their graduate education (mostly PhD or/and Post-Doc) in great universities in NA/EU, but, they ... |
