2017/02/27 | 1,879 | 7,881 | <issue_start>username_0: Most papers (at least in maths, but I believe this applies to other subjects as well) don't have a table of contents (TOC), but dedicate the last paragraph of the introduction to essentially the same purpose. What's the rationale behind this?
I think TOCs are a much better solution. They mini... |
2017/02/27 | 946 | 4,218 | <issue_start>username_0: So, I came across this paper in my field (let's call it paper A) and there was a reference for an equation that they had borrowed from another paper (let's call this paper B). Everything well-cited and fine so far. While reading through paper B (the one that they referred to), I noticed that pa... |

2017/02/28 | 493 | 2,029 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm a junior hoping to do a PhD. I'm in a graduate level class right now in a different field. I believe almost all the other students are PhD students. The first couple weeks of the course were just barely accessible, though very challenging. Now, however, I really find myself unable to comple... |
2017/02/28 | 3,029 | 12,805 | <issue_start>username_0: When I started my "quest for knowledge" several years ago I began in an already ill defined-field which was on the borders between science and philosophy but as I progressed I drifted further and further into something I can only classify as "something pertaining to many sciences but not really... |

2017/03/01 | 655 | 2,786 | <issue_start>username_0: I've recently submitted three papers to the same top journal over a period of two weeks. Can this fact alone impact on the chances of any of the papers being accepted? There is no overlap of content or dependencies among the papers, but I'm a bit worried that it may look odd from the editor's p... |
2017/03/01 | 644 | 2,795 | <issue_start>username_0: Or is a computer science phd required? Is having a statistics phd a disadvantage for AI research positions or does the research you publish and work on during the phd matter more?
Although artificial intelligence research is interdisciplinary (math+cs+stats+logic, etc), I see mainly computer ... |
2017/03/01 | 1,055 | 4,211 | <issue_start>username_0: I was reading that submitting a research article to arXiv gives it better visibility. I was wondering if I can submit a research article that is accepted and published in the IEEE-JBHI, to arXiv?<issue_comment>username_1: If your paper has already been published then you were required to sign a... |
2017/03/01 | 732 | 3,038 | <issue_start>username_0: I am writing research paper following the ACM 2-column format in Latex. The conference is limiting the number of pages by only 6-8 pages. So far, my paper has a lot of figures and tables and would be impossible to fit them all in 8 pages.
So what I want to do, is to include an extra page as a... |
2017/03/01 | 596 | 2,623 | <issue_start>username_0: I received a book proposal review request from Elsevier. Despite some reasons to believe that it is credible, there are a few things that look suspicious to me:
1. A monetary compensation is offered. Is this common, and how does this work in practice?
2. The request is sent from a personal ema... |
2017/03/01 | 817 | 3,427 | <issue_start>username_0: I have in a few days a scientific conference and I will present my work in the form of a poster.

2017/03/01 | 390 | 1,732 | <issue_start>username_0: A few years ago I graduated from a master program at a university. Since I since then has been working mainly in my own company and with granted projects, I don't have so many references from work life or post university activities, even though it's four years since I graduated.
When I apply f... |
2017/03/01 | 870 | 3,211 | <issue_start>username_0: Effectively as per the questions title, are there grants and fellowships for PhD students past the first year, but before candidacy? From what I have seen, most are intended for first year students (i.e. those with no more than twelve months of study), after candidacy has been achieved, or are ... |
2017/03/01 | 1,060 | 4,290 | <issue_start>username_0: From time to time (presumably because I have an academic address, or am listed on a university web site) I get an e-mail like this: "My son will be in your city next month for two weeks.

The data analysis has been done, but there are several ways to interpret the result. I proposed a survey of the population under study as a way to distinguish between mechanisms and his first reaction was that ... |
2017/03/02 | 281 | 1,228 | <issue_start>username_0: I recently emailed a senior professor in a neighboring state, that I've never met, with some comments on his recent paper and pointing to some of my papers with related results. It turns out he was aware of my research and invited me to give a talk at his University. I promptly agreed, but neve... |
2017/03/02 | 319 | 1,339 | <issue_start>username_0: I got accepted into the Phd program at a Top 3 university in US.
However, as I have an external scholarship (full funding for PhD study), I have to defer my admission to work at the scholarship sponsor research institute for one year.
I wrote to the department explaining my situation, but w... |
2017/03/02 | 698 | 3,164 | <issue_start>username_0: For journal article, does the number of references one has for an original research work have an influence on the reviewer? Like if I have say 11 references, in such a case, will the reviewer take it for granted that my work is incorrect?<issue_comment>username_1: There won't be any hard minimu... |
2017/03/02 | 1,331 | 5,412 | <issue_start>username_0: In the faculty that I am currently working on we have contacted a Professor who would be giving a workshop in my city.

2017/03/02 | 6,525 | 27,526 | <issue_start>username_0: I teach math with about two years of experience now. In general I have found that all the cliches about graduate school teaching you "how to research but not how to teach" are true. But I have also found many great resources (at my institution, online, in print, etc.) that are helping me, over ... |
