2023/05/03 | 525 | 2,228 | <issue_start>username_0: I have written a first draft of a paper, but I have found it is way too long for any journal, so I decided to divide it into two separate papers with titles along the line:
>
> My paper I - Theory
>
>
> My paper II - Applications
>
>
>
How do I submit the two papers together to the same... |
2023/05/04 | 560 | 2,275 | <issue_start>username_0: I submitted an article for peer review early last year and received a referee report (major revisions) a few weeks after that. I've finally prepared a rebuttal and revisions to the article, after about 14 months have passed.
I plan to resubmit the article nonetheless, partly because the editor... |
2023/05/04 | 567 | 2,518 | <issue_start>username_0: I didn't notice that the page numbers had somehow been removed from my thesis before submission. I just saw this.
The day before I had included all the correctly formatted page numbers and set up the ToC. Finally the ToC had the correct numbers but my footers had been removed!
Should I try to... |
2023/05/04 | 502 | 2,367 | <issue_start>username_0: If I am going to apply for a Ph.D. in Computer Science, with a specialization in programming languages, is it okay to use a recommendation letter from other areas of Computer Science, say cryptography?
Thanks.<issue_comment>username_1: There is no rule against this unless it is explicitly stat... |
2023/05/04 | 657 | 2,846 | <issue_start>username_0: I have an upcoming presentation in an international conference in a bit more than a month. I wrote the abstract for my presentation in February, in which I said I would present early results. It is even in the title of my submission: "presentation of [project] and first results".
However, I am ... |
2023/05/04 | 1,479 | 6,673 | <issue_start>username_0: This is something I've never been satisfied with. If two people are playing chess, and one person consistently beats the other person, then it makes sense to say that one is better than the other at chess. But in math, you have people who are working on different problems, so what metrics are u... |
2023/05/05 | 2,867 | 11,755 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a sophomore at a competitive university, and I have been interested in mathematics for most of my life. As a result, I decided to take up math in university. I am ahead of most other students when it comes to math, having already taken a graduate-level course in differential topology. I ha... |
2023/05/05 | 799 | 3,480 | <issue_start>username_0: I don't understand how it's possible to write a large number of papers in good journals without someone advising their research still, past the grad student phase.<issue_comment>username_1: My postdoc mentor did suggest some problems, but they weren't the right fit for me and I never ended up w... |
2023/05/05 | 911 | 3,685 | <issue_start>username_0: I am working as a researcher and applying for a position at a German public university. Due to personal reasons, I would like to work 48 hours per week, with 70% at one university and 50% at another university. The topic of work is similar in both workplaces. But practically, it's hard to get p... |
2023/05/06 | 1,383 | 5,861 | <issue_start>username_0: I recently graduated with a PhD in Fall 2022. In my PhD study, I published 7 papers in peer review journals and conferences. In summer semester of 2022, my PhD supervisor stopped my fund few days before the start of the semester and he claimed that I did bad in the previous semester. Later, he ... |
2023/05/07 | 5,446 | 22,691 | <issue_start>username_0: I have just recently completed my Ph.D. Throughout my Ph.D., I’ve been fascinated and motivated by incremental and focused questions that would show up in my research, either imposed by my advisors, or ones that I would figure out need addressing. I genuinely enjoyed getting into the nitty-grit... |
2023/05/07 | 1,070 | 4,617 | <issue_start>username_0: I am trying to be a researcher in a field of economics but with emphasis on philosophy. The field of philosophical (argumentative) economics is, in my opinion, not in the limelight these days; however, a few reputable journals still exist.
I wrote a manuscript and submitted it to one of these ... |
2023/05/07 | 1,012 | 3,764 | <issue_start>username_0: If I'm currently doing my first postdoc in the US on an F1 OPT (in Astronomy) and I decide to apply for either an EB1A or an EB2, I understand that it would show my intent to immigrate making me ineligible for a J1 visa. Because of this, any future postdoc position would need to sponsor me for ... |
2023/05/07 | 2,917 | 12,981 | <issue_start>username_0: Whether in history, math, computer science, physics, law or other sciences can someone without a doctorate or an undergraduate degree do research in any of them? I am an undergraduate student in math and I am interested in other sciences as well but I have found some difficulty getting my degre... |
2023/05/08 | 1,105 | 4,430 | <issue_start>username_0: The following didn't directly happen to me, but it came close. I'm using first person anyway for clarity.
A paper is submitted to a journal for which I'm an editor. During review, it's noticed that the paper is plagiarized. The plagiarism is relatively minor and benign: only a few paragraphs a... |
2023/05/08 | 394 | 1,802 | <issue_start>username_0: My head of the department is not providing me any department stamp on the letter of recommendation stating that the letter head is enough and with it stamps are not used. I have no idea if it's correct or not but I didn't want to take chances with my LOR. Thus, my main doubt is regarding this. ... |
2023/05/08 | 758 | 3,027 | <issue_start>username_0: I would like to create a reading list around the life and works of a mathematician. But I need to choose the name to use as the title.
Take as an example the [Bibliography of N. Bourbaki](https://iecl.univ-lorraine.fr/files/2021/04/Liliane_beaulieu_biblio_bourbaki_20210427.pdf) by <NAME>

2023/05/08 | 1,467 | 6,056 | <issue_start>username_0: For some background, I am currently an Australian PhD student in my 4th year. From reading posts on this site I have gradually noticed the differences between the content of my degree and of a PhD awarded in either the US or in Europe.
It appears as though an Australian PhD program is noticeab... |
2023/05/09 | 1,505 | 6,401 | <issue_start>username_0: I found two papers related to my current research (A published in 2021, and B published in 2023). More precisely, all authors of paper A & paper B are from the same institute. Actually, one person appears in the author list of both paper A and paper B, so I assume that all the authors of paper ... |
2023/05/09 | 841 | 3,546 | <issue_start>username_0: My peers told me, at least in the field of machine learning, it seems acceptable to upload your (draft) paper to Arxiv before submitting it to a conference. I am confused about how it does not contradict the double blind review practiced by many popular conferences.<issue_comment>username_1: Th... |
2023/05/09 | 3,092 | 12,355 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm just starting my PhD, and during a sort of informal journal club, my professor told us that we should always try to read some new papers in our field (high energy physics, and general relativity and quantum cosmology; hep-th and gr-qc on arXiv). How does one *practically* do this? On the ar... |
2023/05/09 | 1,762 | 7,560 | <issue_start>username_0: As a postdoc applying for a second postdoc position, I frequently email potential mentors. I have a question regarding two situations where the faculty member showed interest in my work but had no openings. Instead, they invited me to give a talk to their research group via Zoom. While I apprec... |
2023/05/09 | 2,389 | 10,147 | <issue_start>username_0: I have a PhD from an accreditated university, and actually am an associate professor at one, and was casually looking to apply to a masters program in an unrelated discipline at another university. Mine doesn't offer the program, but it is something I thought would be fun to learn. First questi... |
2023/05/09 | 482 | 1,901 | <issue_start>username_0: I am an undergraduate engineering student in Azerbaijan, and my major is process automation; however, I intend to change it and study mathematics in one of the grad schools in the US. I received only A's in mathematics classes, which are Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations,... |
