The publisher is one of the big well known OA, and the journal is one of their leading journals (in terms of niche visibility and impact factor). We were invited to submit a paper by a colleague who'd be p... |
2019/07/04 | 466 | 2,067 | <issue_start>username_0: My wife and I are taking the IELTS exam in a few days and this question just occurred to me - When taking the test, do students receive the whole listening/reading/writing package or do they receive individual sections as they finish the previous section?
I ask because during my practice sessi... |
2019/07/04 | 1,196 | 5,042 | <issue_start>username_0: I have been applying to PhD programs for the past 2+ years and keep getting rejected. I have pretty good degrees that I worked hard for from good universities (not the top unis).
For the past year I’ve been doing everything I could think of to improve my CV; working for free as a research ass... |
2019/07/04 | 2,009 | 6,813 | <issue_start>username_0: My goal is to find articles related to invasive species management on a monthly basis. I have a list of species for my region (i.e keywords) and a list of journals. Although I enjoy combing through new issues of each journal, I'm wondering if there is a more automated, and less time consuming m... |
2019/07/05 | 411 | 1,750 | <issue_start>username_0: There are so many ways to compose CVs now. I try to keep my CV updated in `LaTeX`, Markdown/HTML, ASCII, and Word just in case someone needs a specific file format.
If an application doesn't specify a specific CV format (and they tend not to), what is the best format, in terms of style vs. por... |
2019/07/05 | 650 | 2,572 | <issue_start>username_0: A journal I am submitting to requires camera-ready figures. What does this term mean nowadays? Does it imply high resolution? My figures are in png format and have 96 dpi. Enlarging it can produce some jagged edges. Should I update them to eps or pdf format?<issue_comment>username_1: There isn'... |
2019/07/05 | 670 | 2,694 | <issue_start>username_0: How do you search arXiv by sub-subject?
For example, underneath the subject Computer Science, you have the subject 'Artificial Intelligence', and under the subject Quantitative Finance, you have the subject 'Computational Finance'.
How do I search for papers specifically within these subjects... |
2019/07/06 | 1,236 | 4,821 | <issue_start>username_0: I have to give a presentation to a general scientific audience (specifically, an interview talk). As part of the presentation I would like to highlight some of my previous work.
I work in mathematics, where paper authorship is always alphabetical. The standard practice in talks is to replace ... |
2019/07/06 | 1,467 | 6,198 | <issue_start>username_0: I have always wanted to get a PhD. I'm in my thirties now and have a full time job. I don't necessarily need to get a PhD for my job, though it could open doors to a few research jobs that I can't apply for now. A few friends and colleagues have gotten their PhDs in about 5 years, they tell me ... |
2019/07/06 | 2,777 | 11,663 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a final year PhD student in materials science. My colleagues publish papers at a rate of 2-3 papers a year. By the end of their PhD, they would have around 8-10 papers (first authors) in their name. While I on the other hand, am struggling.... struggling hard.
How do people produce so man... |
2019/07/06 | 871 | 3,375 | <issue_start>username_0: I aced my undergrad studies and got the best offer I could ever dream of for grad school.
And three \*\*\*\* might have ruined it.
They ran into me and asked for help with "studying". Turns out it was blatant cheating and I helped them anyway. I had my doubts, but my compassion instinct took ... |
2019/07/06 | 1,272 | 5,548 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm a masters degree student trying to figure out how publications and co-authorship work. I know that the school/PI retains legal ownership of any monetary profits that may result from the work, so please don't mention this in your response as it is **irrelevant** to what I'm asking. I WANT TO... |
2019/07/07 | 2,130 | 8,981 | <issue_start>username_0: 3-4 months ago I found a big mistake in a theorem's proof of a paper that had just been published (stats/cs community). I immediately notified the authors, who claimed to be aware of the mistake but admitted not knowing how to fix it.
This week I noticed that the authors didn't notify the comm... |
2019/07/07 | 286 | 1,347 | <issue_start>username_0: I am reviewing a software library tool at the moment.
During the review, I found some minor bugs while running their examples. However, it seems like nobody else has these bugs (at least I cant find them on the Github issue page). Otherwise, the library seems to be great. Should I recommend an ... |
2019/07/07 | 3,467 | 14,847 | <issue_start>username_0: I notice that past a certain age (sometimes as early as 50), some professors tend to be significantly less productive, to the point that they essentially do not publish or have graduate students and only teach classes (as that is really the only 'required' activity of a professor).
I've also ... |
2019/07/07 | 1,026 | 4,253 | <issue_start>username_0: UPDATE: My program is Computer Science and Engineering.
**I chose the current advisor for mainly three reasons:**
1. I'm interested in a general research area, and he's in a group doing the stuffs.
2. He has good publications in top conferences and journals in recent years.
3. Applying for ot... |
2019/07/07 | 1,012 | 4,258 | <issue_start>username_0: I teach secondary history classes. My principal is pushing for all teachers to introduce students to a annotation system which should be the same in all classes. But the system doesn't seem appropriate for my student's needs, e.g. here are some of the 20+ items:
* Underline key words.
* Put a ... |
2019/07/07 | 3,310 | 13,455 | <issue_start>username_0: As a Ph.D. student from a (pretty rich!) European research group, I'm about to attend a conference in New Zealand. The second leg of a potential flight takes 16 hours to reach the destination, and it seems to be the hell of discomfort to spend all that time on an economy seat (I once had a 10-h... |
2019/07/08 | 506 | 2,041 | <issue_start>username_0: First of all, I studied in Japan. After I complete all graduate courses. There will be 3 years to submit my thesis. During this time, I drop school and work in a company. So my professor removed all my information from the lab (%100) like I was not there, even Alumni name list. I would like to ... |
2019/07/08 | 1,587 | 7,103 | <issue_start>username_0: My paper is about a specific application of blockchain. I've developed a basic prototype for it and so far, I've described it in detail, and put screencaps of the interface for it. Should I also include actual code of relating to different parts of the application?<issue_comment>username_1: Dep... |
2019/07/08 | 395 | 1,723 | <issue_start>username_0: I've got an interview for a Ph.D. position and I need to give a ten-minute presentation for my recent research. I have completed two projects and right now I am doing another research which has a close correlation to the advertised position. These three projects have no correlation. I would lik... |
2019/07/08 | 558 | 2,345 | <issue_start>username_0: If there is a tree of papers on or involving *X*, all of which give a brief introduction to *X* and I need a citation for my use of *X*, do I need to give the root of the tree as a citation of *X* or can I cite any of the nodes in the tree that explain *X* for my use of it?
Concretely I need t... |
2019/07/08 | 2,273 | 9,701 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a math professor at an R1 university. I have taken up a new graduate student (my n'th for n<=10), who is mathematically quite strong, but whose writing skills are a couple notches below what I have had to deal with so far.
We have a new result, which he currently is writing up. He is rel... |
