2020/02/18 | 295 | 1,314 | <issue_start>username_0: Last november I submitted a paper to a journal. I have been tracking the status of the review rather regularly (quite obsessively actually) and I have noticed that 3 weeks ago it went from awaiting AE decision back to reviewer assignment. After a couple of days, it went to reviewer selection. N... |
2020/02/18 | 682 | 2,925 | <issue_start>username_0: My students are required to use APA style. I'm familiar with the research paper format, which requires a separate title page (like a cover page). This makes sense for longer papers, but how should students format the first page of a one- or two-page assignment?
My question is: What do students... |
2020/02/19 | 1,947 | 8,488 | <issue_start>username_0: I've recently been asked to write a letter of recommendation for tenure and promotion for my former advisor from graduate school. This is for a potential promotion/tenure a few years down the line.
My time in grad school was one of the darkest periods of my life. My former advisor was verbally... |
2020/02/19 | 3,772 | 15,143 | <issue_start>username_0: I am currently almost homeless and without job. Can someone please help me in right direction of finding an academic or non-academic job? Minimum salary will be acceptable.
I hold a PhD in mathematics. I am 43 years old and I am from middle east but citizen of a European country (Germany). I h... |
2020/02/19 | 606 | 2,457 | <issue_start>username_0: I wrote an expository term paper in graduate school and posted it on my website, never trying to get it into a journal. Google Scholar says it now has 19 citations from various countries ("widely" is of course relative; what I mean is that this is more citations than my other publications have)... |
2020/02/20 | 1,448 | 6,041 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm trying to transfer, I'm a good student and one of my teachers is writing me what I assume will be a fantastic letter.
I am in an upper undergrad level (200+) CS course with this teacher. We had a group project, and without going into too much detail, I was discouraged from intellectual expl... |
2020/02/20 | 510 | 1,983 | <issue_start>username_0: So, I’m a postgraduate student, and I checked a softcover textbook out of my university library for my personal studies. When I pulled it out of my bag today, I noticed that the bottom corner (on the side away from the bindings) had begun to curl forward, possibly from the weight of the book re... |

2020/02/20 | 1,092 | 4,418 | <issue_start>username_0: This semester, I attended a seminar where the grade will be based on work turned in by attendees in about a month. The lecturer has set up a 'get-together' of all students in his home, where he will be preparing dinner. Alcoholic drinks apparently will also be provided (beer).
I do not plan on... |
2020/02/20 | 1,340 | 5,576 | <issue_start>username_0: A predator journal (Americal Journal of Applied Mathematics) regulary sends me mails about how I should submit to them or join the peer review. Recently I discovered there is a Unsubscribe link in the mail. Now I'm wondering if I should use it.
On one hand, if it works, great.
On the other han... |
2020/02/20 | 605 | 2,604 | <issue_start>username_0: The title says it all. The journal published my paper without sending me the final proofs beforehand. I didn't even find out that the paper had been finally published from the journal; I found out from an ORCID update. With other journals, I always got a final look to make sure the edits were d... |
2020/02/20 | 1,205 | 4,887 | <issue_start>username_0: I have been invited for a phd interview and I was asked to prepare a 4 minute presentation with a max of 2 slides only on myself and my research interests. The fact that it's extremely restricted in time and number of slides makes me a bit too anxious. I'm not sure what info I'm expected to pre... |
2020/02/20 | 1,183 | 5,025 | <issue_start>username_0: How is a 5-year [engineer's degree](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Engineer's_degree#/Europe_(prior_to_the_Bologna_Process)) viewed among the admission committee for PhD applicants? How much weight does the name of the degree have in the review process?

2020/02/20 | 1,056 | 4,580 | <issue_start>username_0: I took an exam online and immediately after the exam typed in the programming question on google to see if there is an answer out there so I have an idea if I did well on the exam. I found on Chegg that people were taking pictures of their computer screen with the exam questions and I reported ... |
2020/02/20 | 637 | 2,839 | <issue_start>username_0: I am applying to become a PhD student in some institutions. My master record isn't exactly perfect mainly because I didn't complete it in time: I should have completed it in two years but it took me far longer.
Now, during the master I have had some serious healthy and personal issues that ca... |
2020/02/21 | 1,980 | 8,575 | <issue_start>username_0: I think many experience the following: Sometimes I want to get the main message of a paper within 10 min then I am annoyed by any less important details distracting me. And sometimes I spend days or weeks to understand a certain part of a paper, where I would highly appreciate any further infor... |
2020/02/21 | 861 | 3,744 | <issue_start>username_0: A former colleague (not collaborator) used main results of two of my published papers in a science documentary featuring their work. They had briefly mention to me at some point, that they wanted to use my work, including images from the paper to help explain their work. Of course, I said it wo... |

2020/02/21 | 537 | 2,355 | <issue_start>username_0: I've been corresponding with an editor at a university publishing company, but he suddenly stopped responding to my emails.

2020/02/21 | 514 | 2,291 | <issue_start>username_0: Is it OK to share my results on Medium blog post or my personal website when I have signed a copyright form with IEEE or IET?
In the paper submission, I only shared the method and results. But I want to share the exact codes that I used to produce the result. Will it violate the copyright?

2020/02/21 | 1,699 | 7,294 | <issue_start>username_0: This is from a document explaining the procedure for the comprehensive exam for entering the Ph.D. candidacy at my school. It mentions that the potential candidate should withdraw from the Ph.D. program if they do not pass the comprehensive exam. My question is: What would be the consequences i... |

Then, on test day, the student does not perform well on the test, and turns in the test with some questions not completed in a one hour time period.

* Review the material after each class. Do some exercises to make sure you've got it clear. Having solid understanding eases off nervousness.

2020/02/22 | 547 | 2,166 | <issue_start>username_0: I've recently finished a MS in computer engineering and long term it's likely that I'll look into doing a PhD. One of the reasons I didnt do it straight away is that I dont really have a clue what I'd like to do it in. I enjoyed parts of EE, CE, applied mathematics, and CS.
