2019/05/12 | 4,280 | 17,795 | <issue_start>username_0: Many academic papers, particularly in mathematics and similar fields, use the phrase "it is easy to see that..." (e.g. in a mathematical proof). I never understood why this sentence is used. Such a sentence is inaccurate at best, since it is not easy for *everyone* to see; maybe it is easy for ... |

2019/05/13 | 1,649 | 7,190 | <issue_start>username_0: I have occasionally noticed that an author chooses to share publicly referee reports from a journal, usually because they are feeling aggrieved about a rejection. I also know that now and then people do share reports with (a few) close colleagues or friends.
What is generally considered good/b... |

2019/05/13 | 1,041 | 4,058 | <issue_start>username_0: Unless I am mistaken, somehow, if you have defended a PhD then you have a *Doctorate* degree, which means you are a "Doctor". That remains to be the case, even if you leave academia and go work in industry, or travel the world or whatever.
Does the same thing apply for professorship? In other... |
2019/05/13 | 570 | 2,251 | <issue_start>username_0: As scientists, researchers and scholars, how do you feel when you read a scientific document that contains a lot of conjunctive adverbs, like ***however***, ***in addition***, etc?
Does it sound non-scientific to you?
If you did not notice it in other papers, then do you use these adverbs i... |
2019/05/13 | 643 | 2,723 | <issue_start>username_0: Like so many others, I scrape data from [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com) as a part of my lit review process, so that I can have a structured data set for meta-analysis of the literature.
I noticed that for a couple of many topics of interest, the # of articles per year seems to be ... |
2019/05/13 | 784 | 3,425 | <issue_start>username_0: I am finishing my thesis (Physics) and need to add a link to all the codes I created to do the analysis presented in the manuscript.
The codes are not polished and they are intended to be public eventually but not just yet. So I need a platform that will allow me to have a private project tha... |
2019/05/13 | 2,034 | 8,775 | <issue_start>username_0: Basically, I coded several assignments and a friend turned in code which looks almost identical. I didn't give him my code, and, as far as I know, he didn't even have any way to access it - but it happened somehow. Anyway, the professor said that he can't prove that I let him have the code, so ... |

2019/05/14 | 1,130 | 4,795 | <issue_start>username_0: My long-term goal is to work at a research institute. While discussing my career plans with different mentors, I find that there is some confusion about whether a position at a government-funded research institute is still considered "academic." Although my question is mostly semantic in nature... |
2019/05/14 | 3,319 | 14,601 | <issue_start>username_0: I started my PhD a few months ago.
Seriously, I don't know how I got accepted, but here I am. I am not a computer scientist, but come from a different STEM background. My knowledge in machine learning in general is pretty limited (for now, trying to catch up) and publishing something seems so ... |

2019/05/14 | 511 | 2,059 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm writing an article containing one main theorem, with the other results essentially corollaries of that theorem. The largest part of the article is thus spend proving this main theorem.
It feels natural to me to write the prove as one long "story", most of which is told outside of "proof en... |

2019/05/15 | 7,516 | 32,348 | <issue_start>username_0: The issue has crept up on me slowly over the last several years. I am increasingly aware of the massive debt that many of my students are taking on, debt which is far beyond the sort of debt that I incurred as an undergraduate in the 1980s. Because of this, in recent semesters I have found it s... |
