2019/07/21 | 385 | 1,678 | <issue_start>username_0: I am the corresponding and the first author of a paper which has been accepted for publication in a journal published by Springer.
I have an important question that is I would like to know whether I can add another university as my second affiliation (before, I only use one affiliation for me)... |
2019/07/21 | 477 | 2,020 | <issue_start>username_0: [Some universities allow](https://www.umk.pl/en/admissions/in_english/english_studies_ma/) students to get enrolled in English studies without having a Bachelor degree in English.
If someone completes an MA and PhD without a Bachelor, can that person become a professor in English?<issue_commen... |
2019/07/21 | 1,300 | 5,265 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm a math postdoc. On MathJobs they sometimes ask if there are any "faculty contacts," which are people I've met or who otherwise have interest in my work. But sometimes I don't know who the faculty are, I've never met them at a conference, etc. My feeling is that if I work on something that n... |
2019/07/22 | 1,780 | 7,782 | <issue_start>username_0: I am going into my 4th year PhD in a STEM field. I am my advisor's first student. While things started off okay and the research had been interesting, my advisor developed a tendency to switch projects on me without allowing either of us to really troubleshoot what went wrong with the previous ... |
2019/07/22 | 2,827 | 12,437 | <issue_start>username_0: I often wonder about Mathematics Education in China, particularly at the late high school and undergraduate level.
In the US, a typical undergraduate math degree will include
lower division:
1-2 years of calculus (3 courses)
different equations (1 course)
linear albegra (1 course)
upper divis... |
2019/07/22 | 639 | 2,441 | <issue_start>username_0: What does the term "*highest qualification earned*" or "*highest degree earned*" on applications mean? For example, if I am a current undergraduate student, does that mean my highest qualification is "*undergraduate degree*" or should it be my "*high school diploma*"?<issue_comment>username_1: ... |
2019/07/22 | 1,594 | 6,840 | <issue_start>username_0: I just don't understand why the overall findings & implications of a PhD cannot be communicated in the style of a research paper?
Succinctness is a virtue in a field characterised by time pressure.
The research output is equal to or less than that of a 3 year postdoc - which is always communi... |
2019/07/22 | 688 | 2,792 | <issue_start>username_0: I've been selected by my school and an external committee to attend this-year version of [this summit](https://www.nrf.gov.sg/gyss/home). As far as I've been informed up to now, the agenda is attending a bunch of interviews with both scientists and non-scientists to broadcast my research (panel... |
2019/07/23 | 791 | 3,297 | <issue_start>username_0: I just finished transcribing my interviews for my PhD thesis and I got a total of 200 pages as data to analyse, is this enough?
I only transcribed what is relevant to my research scope. Also, English is my second language. One of my friends told me that it is not enough,<issue_comment>username... |
2019/07/23 | 652 | 2,747 | <issue_start>username_0: Can you switch the position of the first co-first author with the second co-first author of an article after it is published?
Full story: During my PhD, I published two articles, both as the first of the two co-first author. In both articles, the second co-first author is my colleague. My col... |
2019/07/23 | 1,441 | 6,172 | <issue_start>username_0: I have had an issue with my PhD advisor where they were essentially attempting to coerce me into inappropriately adding them as a co-author on a paper that they had no part in. They agreed that they should not be an author according to ethical standards, but essentially threatened me that there... |
2019/07/23 | 1,830 | 7,522 | <issue_start>username_0: I have submitted my STEM PhD thesis to the committee. If everything goes well, my defense will be done by the end of the year. I published 2 papers during my 5 years of PhD, few more to be submitted.
I had applied to few industrial positions a while back, got rejections.
I am feeling unmotiv... |
2019/07/24 | 444 | 1,851 | <issue_start>username_0: This is probably me overthinking a lot but I really don't want to screw this up. There was a flyer sent to me by my adviser for a research assistant opening for one of the psych professors on campus. The flyer says basic info such as what the research is about, requirements, and benefits. On th... |
2019/07/24 | 548 | 2,361 | <issue_start>username_0: I am currently writing a literature review for my bachelor thesis and I am not sure if what I am currently doing is acceptable.
My approach right now is to look at about 10 different literature reviews(from different papers) regarding the same topic and take one or two sentences or sometimes a... |
2019/07/24 | 478 | 2,177 | <issue_start>username_0: I just wonder according to Nature journal, we are allow to have 6 displays including figures and tables. However, my paper has 8 displays (1 table + 7 figures). Is that fine to have 8 displays for an initial submission?<issue_comment>username_1: My experience with other journals published by Na... |
2019/07/24 | 642 | 2,915 | <issue_start>username_0: I have a paper which has accepted in a journal published by Springer.
Today I have received the proofs from the production team. After checking the proofs carefully, we have detected some typos and minor errors in equations and data. To correct them we must change something in some equations a... |
2019/07/24 | 2,570 | 10,821 | <issue_start>username_0: I have always been wondering why some mathematics professors choose to publish problems in journals such as Crux Mathematicorum, Mathematical Reflections etc, which only focus on elementary mathematics.
I don't think that these journals are highly regarded by the academic community and I don... |
2019/07/24 | 1,721 | 6,896 | <issue_start>username_0: In human subjects research, it's fairly well settled that [researchers may not go ahead without the guidance and approval of an IRB, even if their research otherwise lacks ethical infirmities](https://academia.stackexchange.com/a/118550/58912).
What happens in the opposite situation? That is, ... |
2019/07/24 | 2,342 | 9,704 | <issue_start>username_0: I've been studying linguistics for over a decade now. I've never taken a class, because there are no local colleges that offer a degree in linguistics. I didn't really care though, because I was able to find all I wanted online anyway. I could even talk to other people interested in linguistics... |
2019/07/24 | 2,774 | 11,810 | <issue_start>username_0: I am in my first PhD year and have some teaching duties -- assisting my supervisor with his lectures and also advising students. At the beginning of the semester, a student started working on his Bachelor's thesis and initially everything was fine.
However, for several weeks now I have not rec... |
2019/07/25 | 1,966 | 8,131 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm specifically asking about full-time teaching staff (unlike part-time teaching staff such as professors, who as I understand it can just spend more time on research during semester breaks).
I understand US universities pay their professors only 9 months a year, which effectively means they'... |
2019/07/25 | 514 | 2,325 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a recently graduated 31 years old PhD in a STEM field. I have been applying for postdoc positions for the past few months, and have received rejections from almost all of them, with few yet to respond. With the academic year coming to an end, I don't have any hope of getting a position and... |
2019/07/25 | 840 | 3,748 | <issue_start>username_0: Say you've thought hard about a specific issue in your research and have elaborated a possible answer, interpretation, etc., to tackle it. (I'm not thinking about huge research subjects, but rather small ideas that articulate a demonstration.) You then discover later on, while reading a new pap... |
