2023/01/23 | 1,031 | 4,358 | <issue_start>username_0: I failed two of my PhD qualifying exams (STEM) and will be mastering out from the program. I do not want to give excuse for myself but I feel like a lot of it comes from my bad relationship with my advisor who makes some things impossible for me to control (he was also on the committee for my e... |
2023/01/23 | 346 | 1,483 | <issue_start>username_0: I graduated and I am trying to build my CV in order to apply for a master's scholarship. I wrote articles in my field, but since I am a fresh grad and I wrote them with no other authors, they haven't been accepted by journals. I sent them to conferences and they got accepted by multiple confere... |
2023/01/23 | 3,587 | 15,348 | <issue_start>username_0: I got a newly hired professor this semester. He is a good teacher but sometimes gets in trouble explaining a new topic since he writes the big formulae on the board and misses a lot of things in the process. If a student raises a question regarding any notation, then we get to know that our tho... |
2023/01/24 | 853 | 3,683 | <issue_start>username_0: I had the idea to create a series of short-form educational videos intended to de-mystify quantum computing. Ideally, these videos would be suitable for a wide target audience and consequently would, by necessity, involve simplifications and some lack of rigour, however I am adamant that they m... |
2023/01/24 | 3,754 | 16,287 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a PhD student, who has been awarded a young researcher grant, which I intend to use to work at another (host) institute which my home institute is collaborating with. In order to accept the grant and get reimbursed, the institution which rewarded me the grant wants me to fill in a form. It... |

2023/01/25 | 439 | 1,921 | <issue_start>username_0: I am from a developing country and I can not afford plane tickets or hotel accommodation fees all by myself, I am not funded by any organization and I am a fresh grad so not even my university can fund me.. I submitted for international conference and my paper got accepted, is there any way to ... |
2023/01/25 | 1,421 | 5,964 | <issue_start>username_0: How could I get my motivation levels back up as a student?
I'm in physics/ astrophysics with other minors. I love physics so much, so I don't need anyone to ask me whether this is the right choice of majors etc. I've already tried changing majors a few times in the past, but I always wind up c... |
2023/01/25 | 1,284 | 5,536 | <issue_start>username_0: I've honestly been losing a bit of sleep over one of the sections in my materials chapters because I think it has some similarity to text from a published paper. To compel myself to write this section a few months ago, I looked at a paper with the same method and rephrased each sentence in that... |

2023/01/27 | 623 | 2,703 | <issue_start>username_0: I am new in the PhD field (hydroinformatics). I have a question: How can I understand a research paper thoroughly? I am perplexed about how the authors got the results. How can they calculate it? How did they get their graphs, tables, etc.? In general, I can understand the abstract and conclusi... |
2023/01/27 | 1,206 | 4,715 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm somewhat at a loss. Some time ago I privately circulated an early draft of a survey paper, and now I have found a translation of most of it into Spanish, published under three authors (one a math professor) and, of course, with no reference to myself.
The format, sections, ordering, phrasi... |
2023/01/27 | 2,114 | 8,627 | <issue_start>username_0: I have read from multiple sources that doing a postdoc in the same university as a PhD is not ideal. It is [heavily](https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/154628/how-is-a-phd-student-staying-in-their-institution-as-a-postdoc-perceived-by-futu) [encouraged](https://academia.stackexchange.... |
2023/01/27 | 1,676 | 7,219 | <issue_start>username_0: I have completed my masters, and am currently working on a year-long project, and I am hoping that I will be accepted for a PhD position sometime by the end of this year. Although, my current project is going alright, I want to 'explore' a new field by working on some concrete research project.... |
2023/01/27 | 630 | 2,349 | <issue_start>username_0: I was just wondering about academic names for publication. Why do some writers use initials then surname (for me it would be *<NAME>*), some their names with initials (*<NAME>*), and some just their names (*<NAME>*)?
What are the considerations and what would you pick if you were me?<issue_com... |
2023/01/27 | 1,757 | 7,184 | <issue_start>username_0: I have found a report with a lot of useful data in it. It is very easy to get ahold of; the organization that ordered it actively promotes it on their website. I would like to cite it. However, the report includes a "General use restriction", stating:

2023/01/27 | 2,737 | 11,801 | <issue_start>username_0: After applying to 10+ schools, I heard back from my top-choice program, interviewed with them, and was just informed that I was accepted. Given this program has always been (and still very much is) my top choice, I am considering withdrawing from my other interviews.
My question is - Is this c... |

2023/01/28 | 465 | 2,046 | <issue_start>username_0: I have received the proofs of my article a week after acceptance. There were some mistakes made during the typesetting which I have outlined while correcting the proofs. It's been a week since the corrections were submitted. My question is:
What happens once the corrections are submitted? Does... |
2023/01/28 | 507 | 1,941 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a postdoc in math. Recently, I wrote a paper in which I used a theorem from a friend's paper. She left academia 6 months ago. Her paper has not been submitted to a journal but it is on [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/). I read her paper and believe that it is correct.
Can a journal reject my pa... |
2023/01/28 | 502 | 2,099 | <issue_start>username_0: I have a manuscript ready for submission. However, I would like to send it to some other doctoral students in my country for them to proofread. These two persons are not my friends, we met on a conference and I surely do not trust them ethically, as we have not worked together before. I have he... |
