2023/08/10 | 909 | 3,836 | <issue_start>username_0: When I'm in the middle of an e-mail based scientific discussion, I often find that I'm severely limited by the medium. E-mails don't manage formulas at all, the symbol palette and formatting is severely limited, and included pictures in the body may or may not go through. Such loss of formattin... |
2023/08/10 | 2,340 | 9,492 | <issue_start>username_0: I started a Marie Curie fellowship, and the salary is lower than I expected (I did not realize employer costs were included in the advertised amounts).
Since moving to the (southern) USA I am experiencing huge costs in living, and the [country correction coefficient](https://ec.europa.eu/info/... |
2023/08/11 | 824 | 3,459 | <issue_start>username_0: Finding a good job after PhD seems to require devoting a few months to preparation and interviews. Are PhD advisors typically understanding of this? Or do they expect the PhD student to continue doing research as much as before? I’m specifically interested to know about the norm in engineering ... |
2023/08/11 | 810 | 3,212 | <issue_start>username_0: I conducted some machine learning research and created a repo using my user account. My lab, however, does not have its own GitHub organization, and is instead registered under a user account. Hence I can transfer the repo ownership to the lab, but then it would not count as "mine" on GitHub. I... |
2023/08/11 | 1,927 | 8,420 | <issue_start>username_0: In their response to a review, the authors insult the reviewer, question their professional knowledge and the comments made regarding the finalization of the publication.
The reviewer cannot refuse them on the basis that they are insulted and requires revision of the work based on the comments ... |
2023/08/11 | 711 | 3,133 | <issue_start>username_0: Recently, I submitted a review to a major journal in my field. They asked me during the submission process, "Do you want to get recognition for this review on Web of Science?"
How does this work? Specifically, how does anonymity work and what are the benefits of getting this recognition?<issue... |
2023/08/12 | 331 | 1,129 | <issue_start>username_0: Usually, a Letter in PRL is limited to 3750 words. Yet frequently papers from large collaborations at CERN papers exceed this limit by a lot. One example is the recent record-setting paper with 5154 authors: <https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.191803>
But there are a... |
2023/08/13 | 1,239 | 5,641 | <issue_start>username_0: I am currently working on a grant proposal that also asks for a literature review. Now, when it comes to literature reviews, I have always had a problem with selecting what is relevant enough to be included. Obviously, one can't/shouldn't include everything and needs to delineate certain limits... |
2023/08/13 | 1,126 | 4,851 | <issue_start>username_0: Recently, a previous student of mine consulted me the possibility of applying to other PhD programs while deferring a PhD offer. He was an undergrad at my institution; he got a PhD offer last year but decided to work an extra year before starting his PhD. We had a good relationship while he was... |
2023/08/13 | 870 | 3,852 | <issue_start>username_0: We will submit two manuscripts to two Springer journals, in which we propose two techniques to solve the same problem. We found the first technique a few months ago and the second one two weeks ago.
Is it a problem if I copy part of the first manuscript (e.g. literature review, definitions & n... |
2023/08/13 | 2,496 | 10,213 | <issue_start>username_0: I know there are a lot of similar questions but most of them are related to stress/pressure from their supervisor. I am doing my PhD and I am in my third year out of four. Everything is going very (or even extremely) well. I have two first-author publications in prestigious journals and one of ... |
2023/08/13 | 666 | 2,672 | <issue_start>username_0: I am currently writing my bachelor thesis and have to do a small literature review for it. Unfortunately, I don't know which tense I should use.

2023/08/14 | 1,925 | 8,015 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a fourth year neurodivergent doctoral candidate with an accepted Master's (both in Experimental Psychology) and have posted a decent amount on here. Hopefully, this post means that I can stop playing "whack a mole" with every concern of mine. I have reviewed my patterns of worries, concern... |
2023/08/14 | 354 | 1,580 | <issue_start>username_0: I am asking this question because I am considering applying for PhD in Electrical and electronics engineering in US.<issue_comment>username_1: No, there is no automatic "funding". But what is normally available to most doctoral students in STEM fields is a Teaching Assistantship or possibly a R... |
2023/08/14 | 1,168 | 4,568 | <issue_start>username_0: I am currently a Postdoc at the University of *A*. I did my PhD (in Computer Science, if it matters) at the University of *NotA*. All my Postdoc funding (salary, etc.) comes from my current PI's grant.
I work full-time with my PI (Dr *X*) on several projects. However, I also collaborate (provi... |
2023/08/14 | 874 | 3,736 | <issue_start>username_0: The Swedish "civilingenjör" is translated to "master of science in engineering"; in my case, it's "master of science in computer science and engineering." There isn't a plain "MEng" but the civilingenjör is both M.Sc. and M.Eng., distinct from the "master curriculum," which does not have the wo... |
2023/08/14 | 865 | 3,727 | <issue_start>username_0: If you were to do a postdoc at the Broad Institute (of Harvard and MIT), can you say you're a postdoc at either Harvard or (/and?) MIT? More importantly, will you actually be affiliated with those universities and have access to resources such as libraries, research instruments, and career supp... |
2023/08/14 | 1,056 | 4,424 | <issue_start>username_0: Recently, I submitted a paper to a journal, attracted by its quick decision-making process. After submission, I realized it's ranked as a Q2 in its field. While I had made sure that the journal was indexed in SCI/SCIE, I didn't verify its quartile ranking initially.
Given the emphasis some ins... |
2023/08/14 | 1,261 | 5,543 | <issue_start>username_0: Here is my situation:
I am a Ph.D. student in theoretical CS.
Since the start of my Ph.D. I have been sending my advisor the descriptions of my results verbally, he would usually ask me a bunch of clarification questions and I would answer back. Usually after some repetition of the questions-an... |
2023/08/14 | 409 | 1,669 | <issue_start>username_0: I have assembled a large collection of URLs pertaining to scientific papers from social media (e.g. "https://www.jni-journal.com/article/S0165-5728(21)00282-4/fulltext)".
I would now like to perform a bibliometric/scientometric analysis of these articles by looking them up on Web of Science, S... |
2023/08/14 | 1,264 | 5,416 | <issue_start>username_0: I received a rejection of my paper. It was a simple case report of 750 words of a very rare disease.
After almost two months of no-answer, I wrote a polite mail to the editorial board asking how much time it would take to receive an answer from the reviewer. They answered that I was going to r... |
2023/08/15 | 646 | 2,622 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm writing a rebuttal to a paper that was recently published. Since I refer to the authors very frequently, I've abbreviated their names to WW for their last names Williams and Wang (I made up these names, they aren't the real names). Is this appropriate for a scientific journal? Should I writ... |
2023/08/15 | 839 | 3,650 | <issue_start>username_0: My Ph.D. supervisor assigned me a literature review paper to complete on a topic that I choose. I know very well the field and I did the necessary research, downloading every publication that I found on the topic. Nonetheless, I am feeling a bit lost since I don't know if there are guidelines f... |
2023/08/15 | 2,595 | 8,416 | <issue_start>username_0: **QUESTION:**
Is there formal data demonstrating that academic pressures (e.g. "publish or perish") has been increasing over time? Did anybody draw a rough calendar of which laws and rules changed at which time, resulting in the rise of such academic pressure?
