2021/05/07 | 407 | 1,689 | <issue_start>username_0: I've seen that academic papers tend to have the sections Abstract, Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Acknowledgements, and Literature Cited. My question is if I wanted to publish an academic paper would it need to have these specific sections or could I have a different set of sectio... |
2021/05/07 | 547 | 2,207 | <issue_start>username_0: I am about to finish my masters degree, and I want to apply for a PhD in the near future. I know that when contacting a potential advisor, they will ask you to send your CV and your previous research. The issue is that, according to my current advisor, my masters thesis will have no issues on b... |
2021/05/07 | 386 | 1,745 | <issue_start>username_0: I had a PhD interview (Computer Science) 3 weeks ago with a German institute. The interview went well and they said they will make their final decision in a week (the latest) and let the candidates know. However, it's been 3 weeks and no response. I emailed them a week ago asking if they have d... |
2021/05/07 | 345 | 1,483 | <issue_start>username_0: I had a campus interview on Apr 19, and there are other two candidates were interviewed after me in the same week. I sent out a thank you note to the search committee after I finished the interview. I believe I did a good job in the interview, especially for the research talk part. One of facul... |
2021/05/07 | 266 | 1,242 | <issue_start>username_0: When applying for a PhD position in Germany typically one of the required documents is:
* **Contact details of at least 2 academic references**
This is just contact details (e.g. email addresses) of the people who agreed to act as your reference, not the actual reference letter (the latter is... |
2021/05/08 | 879 | 3,643 | <issue_start>username_0: I am an undergraduate student. Four weeks earlier my professor asked me to work with him on a literature survey project. He asked me to update him every week about the status of the project. The project I am talking about basically marks the gender gap in an interdisciplinary field and I have t... |
2021/05/08 | 695 | 3,073 | <issue_start>username_0: I submitted a paper for publication several days ago. This was a resubmission after I had responded to the critique from the reviewers for my first draft. However, while I was looking at my data again, I saw that there was a section where my data points *increased* between phases, but I had wri... |
2021/05/08 | 473 | 2,007 | <issue_start>username_0: I’m kind of in a rut right now with my admissions for a program. I’ve requested for a LOR from a professor and they had no issue to do it for me. However, they’ll be sending it to my email. The only thing is the program that I’m applying for is asking that the LOR comes in a sealed envelope wit... |
2021/05/08 | 4,987 | 21,265 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm interested in school systems, and I have a question regarding the "college" level. (I have a French background).
When I look at college math or physics books, it seems to me that there is no big difference with what is taught at the high school level.
By comparison, in France, first year ... |
2021/05/09 | 668 | 2,952 | <issue_start>username_0: I am graduating soon and in the last minute my advisor found an issue in one major theorem in my thesis. In an hour, my advisor sent me a write up with a fix. The result is a little bit different than what I have, but it does the job.
I was not expecting him to fix this issue. We were supposed... |
2021/05/09 | 2,393 | 9,877 | <issue_start>username_0: I think I have a few questions here.
I've said this before: I don't have many talents, but I can teach, and I can teach very well. Education is my passion and that is one of the reasons I am pursuing my PhD (that, and the fact that I love doing math eight hours a day).
This being said, can an... |
2021/05/09 | 2,734 | 11,337 | <issue_start>username_0: I am located in a small European country and studying computer science in one of its Universities, admittedly not the most prestigious one. I am set to finish my undergraduate degree at most a year from now. Recently, an opportunity has come up as I have been offered a PhD position right after ... |
2021/05/09 | 920 | 3,895 | <issue_start>username_0: I am an undergraduate student in STEM.
* I have noticed that several of my peers (also in STEM) have published in journals or conferences (multiple times).
* I have also seen that in online forums for graduate admissions (such as PhysicsGRE), almost all the profiles have published several time... |
2021/05/09 | 584 | 2,280 | <issue_start>username_0: Last year one of my papers was rejected. The editor provided the comments of referees so I have continued to work on this paper following their suggestion. I have done a great deal of work and I think that now the paper is really worth a publication.
I was considering to resubmit it to the sam... |
2021/05/10 | 2,361 | 9,836 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a PhD student in pure mathematics about 4 months into my program. After consulting with my supervisor and some peers, I have signed up to give a 20 minute talk at an online conference, which has invited final year undergraduates writing a bachelor's thesis, masters students, PhD students a... |
2021/05/10 | 944 | 4,076 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm about to graduate college and this is my first time submitting a manuscript and I need some guidance because my PI has been busy with his grant. I submitted my manuscript to Behavioral sleep medicine since January and it has been sitting with the editor and did not enter the peer review pro... |
2021/05/10 | 8,546 | 36,759 | <issue_start>username_0: I teach mathematics and computing; for example, our department's discrete mathematics course. As is customary for that course, it's used as the first foray into formal mathematics, including a heavy emphasis on reading and writing proofs throughout the semester (required for both our math & com... |
2021/05/10 | 797 | 3,391 | <issue_start>username_0: I started work on my project in January right off the back of losing a very close family member, which didn't give me a very good mindset to begin with.
I had an initial doubt in my mind that the project wasn't for me but I suppressed it, thinking that over the coming months it would die down ... |
2021/05/10 | 2,625 | 9,993 | <issue_start>username_0: It’s a well known fact that textbooks are expensive and that writing a textbook earns you very little in royalties (e.g. <https://academia.stackexchange.com/a/167367/11353> ). At the same time [self-publishing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-publishing) is becoming a bigger and bigger deal ... |
2021/05/11 | 1,073 | 4,650 | <issue_start>username_0: I have been looking into several different PhD programs in mathematics, and I am trying to keep my options open. After finishing a doctorate, I am open to working either in academia or industry, although I would prefer a teaching job or similar at a liberal arts college. Additionally, I am curr... |
2021/05/11 | 601 | 2,742 | <issue_start>username_0: One of my reviewers put a comment to my paper as "Show pictures of a real experimental test.". However, my paper describes a machine learning technique in electrical engineering. I don't have any real experiments and I don't claim anything in the paper about that. I can not provide any result r... |
2021/05/11 | 1,583 | 6,525 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a PhD student majoring in Medical Engineering. My interest in Math is high, but my knowledge isn't. I have just a bit of knowledge in Calculus, Linear Algebra and a little Statistics (just can do mean, median and mode). When I entered my PhD, I was really surprised at the complexity of the... |
2021/05/11 | 4,505 | 19,427 | <issue_start>username_0: I am in the fourth year of a part-time PhD. I have at least another couple of years left, the next two years are for writing up and this year was supposed to be for data collection.
I hit problems with research and data collection because of COVID, a lot of us did. But one of the things that h... |
