2019/10/31 | 510 | 2,192 | <issue_start>username_0: Would it make a negative impact on my PhD application if they get to know that I am already enrolled in PhD and now applying for another program in their University?<issue_comment>username_1: Yes, you can apply, just as anyone else.

2019/10/31 | 1,574 | 6,689 | <issue_start>username_0: Should a professor tenured in field X receive research credit for research in a field other than X?
What is your experience on this question?
It is an important issue of academic freedom. If the answer is NO, then it means that tenure pigeon holes you for life in one field. That would be con... |
2019/10/31 | 370 | 1,515 | <issue_start>username_0: I've heard word that in the Netherlands only a professor/hoogleraar can supervise PhD students but I've found little to solidly confirm this. I've also heard that in practice, other arrangements are often made. Can anyone comment or confirm that a universitair hoofddocent (equivalent to a reade... |
2019/11/01 | 801 | 3,586 | <issue_start>username_0: I have an idea inspired by class project readings but is significantly different from the class materials and published work. I already have some promising results. I am tempted to do the research and try to write a paper on it and send to the journals. (This is in the field of CS and not much ... |
2019/11/01 | 905 | 3,902 | <issue_start>username_0: So over the last few months, I've been working on an AI model that could classify a skin lesion as cancerous or not using only an image of the lesion. At first, I thought there's no way that I could achieve anything more than 70% accuracy but after tweaking with my program for a long while, I w... |
2019/11/01 | 3,330 | 13,702 | <issue_start>username_0: Today I got accused by my professor of cheating and copying two reports I submitted. I had a formal meeting with the professor where he tried to push me into admitting I cheated by showing me the surprising similarities. Even though I continuously denied it, he went forward to go to a formal he... |
2019/11/01 | 357 | 1,554 | <issue_start>username_0: Context:
I am an undergrad, and working in a research group over 7 months now. I have asked my P.I (group leader) whether he would write me a recommendation letter one month before the deadline of Master's programs, and he said that he would.
Now, the deadline was yesterday, and he haven't wri... |
2019/11/01 | 475 | 2,079 | <issue_start>username_0: I have been reading about many theories, some are more solid that the others.
I wonder if there is a way for non-professional to know the rank ( how trusted) this theory?
Example Strings Theory, i read that it is not proved yet and there is a good chance it could be wrong.

2019/11/01 | 521 | 2,292 | <issue_start>username_0: Is it usual that the chance for a PhD student that aims to apply for the second semester of the educational year (i.e. spring semester) and sends his/her application for professors may be lesser than who want to apply via connection with professors for the first semester in an educational year ... |

2019/11/02 | 601 | 2,258 | <issue_start>username_0: When I read a scientific paper I usually would like to know the point in time when it has been written or publicized. I would expect such a date written near to other meta data like the the author's names.
Unfortunately often these papers lack in such a date. I can't see why. Okay such a pape... |
2019/11/02 | 530 | 2,181 | <issue_start>username_0: Consider a very small scientific field with three major contributors and a total of 15 authors, all of them had coauthored with everyone else.
In this field how could the editor choose referee for new papers, if he must adhere to the conflict of interests policies?
I know that some editors h... |

2019/11/02 | 715 | 3,097 | <issue_start>username_0: Many universities will have a Faculty of Law whose academic staff would be largely (or entirely) composed of certified lawyers; I imagine that the same would be true of many of their PhD students.
Similarly, many universities will have dedicated legal teams that assist the university staff wit... |
2019/11/03 | 581 | 2,577 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm currently a Ph.D. student and I have been reading a lot about retraction of scientific papers. I understand that scientific integrity is a big issue and that we should be as honest about the scientific process as much as possible. However, I do think that there is a difference between teach... |
2019/11/03 | 1,154 | 5,064 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm not sure if I'm overthinking this.
Recently I had an assignment that is intended to be completed individually in which I cannot understand one of the questions at all. Lectures didn't help as the question assumed we have known some mathematical concepts before this class.
So I searched on... |
2019/11/03 | 1,254 | 5,188 | <issue_start>username_0: This is a sort of general existential question, but I hope it's specific enough to be welcome here.
I'm a reasonably successful not-quite-exactly-young-any-more researcher in my field, but I don't yet have a permanent position. I'm aiming to move to the UK to (re)establish my career there, but... |
