2023/06/22 | 1,952 | 8,141 | <issue_start>username_0: It's obviously a very undesirable thing to even contemplate suing my university, but please hear me out on it. I'm leaning in that direction and seeking advice from anyone who's been there before, please. Please let me know how it went, whether it was a good idea or a bad idea and all.

2023/06/23 | 810 | 3,633 | <issue_start>username_0: Someone spread nefarious but completely unfounded ethical allegations against me. That person said he/she was told that I forced a student to plagiarize his/her paper whereas I was the one who strongly advocated for accepting the paper.

2023/06/23 | 2,393 | 10,482 | <issue_start>username_0: If this occurs, is this normal? It seems like work necessary for an administrator. Moreover, there is nothing to learn from doing so. It just seems like a lot of work towards something that is not a phd-student/postdoc's job.
The work on grants are slightly related to with the work I am involv... |
2023/06/23 | 1,411 | 6,049 | <issue_start>username_0: This appears to be a difficult thing to search for, given the plethora of stuff out there on, say, the maximum number of universities to apply for a PhD, the person with the most PhDs, *etc.*, when I search for things like, "What is the highest number of PhD attempts for one person?" - and so o... |
2023/06/24 | 426 | 1,857 | <issue_start>username_0: I was wondering whether one's submission history to a particular journal plays an important role / is considered by a handling editor? Let's assume that one submits to a particular journal multiple times and gets rejected in the majority of cases. Will this adversely affect the handling of your... |

The issue is, it's not at all related to my field of study, there is no way I'll ... |
