"content": "I took a full time open-ended contract role as a teaching fellow instead of going down the postdoc route. For me it was more about stability, but I do love teaching and honestly teaching is the real reason I want to be in academia rather than industry. I get no research time. It has to be done in my own time. But I’m fairly junior and haven’t landed any bigger grants as yet - there are teaching-track staff in the two grades above me who have ‘bought out’ a proportion of teaching time for set periods with middling sized grants, so it’s doable. But research in these types of roles is more of a hobby, and something your students do whilst you supervise, rather than the focus of your job. There’s plenty of roles like this in the UK, especially as the TEF and the Office For Students government body are making universities focus on teaching quality rather than having researchers who don’t want to be there giving a handful of lectures each. What’s nice is that if the programme is doing well, your job is pretty stable, and you aren’t reliant on finding grant money. But it does rely on your programme being stable. There was a nice study I read at the time I was deciding between my job and a postdoc, and it showed that UK teaching-track staff generally have better work-life balance, less stress and enjoy their jobs more than balanced teaching and research staff, but lack of upward career progression is the big hindrance. Proving you’ve ticked the promotion boxes is tough when you don’t have quantifiable outcomes like grant money and publications. I do hear stories about people who move from purely teaching to T&R roles, usually at lower ranked, smaller universities, but you need to be doing a lot of unpaid, unsupported and under resourced research in your own time to do that. I think it’s quite field dependent too.",

I love this sub for the general advice it provides, but why aren’t there more academics using Reddit to disseminate research findings? Academics of Reddit, I’ve seen lots of professors using Twitter to discuss their & others’ research (at least in my field of biomechanics) and it always seemed odd to me that Twitter was the chosen forum to do that, with its low character count and lack of barrier between academic & non-academic content, or even between different fields of academia. Is there a reason they use Twitter over Reddit? I’d imagine that having field-specific subreddits to facilitate & organize discussion in the field (at least compared to Twitter) in a public forum would be ideal. I know that some of these conversations do happen on ResearchGate, but it would also not be ideal for this because it can’t keep various disciplines organized together like Reddit can, nor does it have the non-academic public attention that Reddit does so that the public can see how science is done. | b278b62387280ecad00afd2cabc2fa9d88d6adb1c7bdd5fedf6b8898de214f93 | [

I love this sub for the general advice it provides, but why aren’t there more academics using Reddit to disseminate research findings? Academics of Reddit, I’ve seen lots of professors using Twitter to discuss their & others’ research (at least in my field of biomechanics) and it always seemed odd to me that Twitter was the chosen forum to do that, with its low character count and lack of barrier between academic & non-academic content, or even between different fields of academia. Is there a reason they use Twitter over Reddit? I’d imagine that having field-specific subreddits to facilitate & organize discussion in the field (at least compared to Twitter) in a public forum would be ideal. I know that some of these conversations do happen on ResearchGate, but it would also not be ideal for this because it can’t keep various disciplines organized together like Reddit can, nor does it have the non-academic public attention that Reddit does so that the public can see how science is done. | b278b62387280ecad00afd2cabc2fa9d88d6adb1c7bdd5fedf6b8898de214f93 | [

"content": "Because Reddit is anonymous. There is no way to prove on an anonymous forum that someone is a PhD in chemistry or a ninja turtle, for example. The only \"assurance\" we have is that this sub in particular is small. Small communities can maintain their focus, and also we have a good moderation team on board. Even so, sometimes we will have random posts about undergrad studies, spam or once when a nutjob said that cheating should be allowed else it'd be discrimination against people with attention deficit.. So yeah, no real way of differentiating apples from oranges on Reddit. What we can rely here, to some extent, is in the kindness of other random Internet strangers who are also either looking for help, or looking forward to helping others. Lastly, networks where we know who is who: LinkedIn and ResearchGate. The first is a horrible place, won't talk much on that. The problem with research gate is that there are no \"forum\" features as in reddit, create a thread and everyone sees it. It exists for stuff like Quora, ask a question and hope for answers. While knowing who is who is good, its also a problem, because people can be identified. Someone denouncing their advisor could be rattled to said advisor. A professor shit talking the academic/grant board (or anything) would be identified and likely suffer the consequences. A student wouldn't openly post online to avoid a toxic advisor and bad lab environment.",

Academics of Reddit, I’ve seen lots of professors using Twitter to discuss their & others’ research (at least in my field of biomechanics) and it always seemed odd to me that Twitter was the chosen forum to do that, with its low character count and lack of barrier between academic & non-academic content, or even between different fields of academia. Is there a reason they use Twitter over Reddit? I’d imagine that having field-specific subreddits to facilitate & organize discussion in the field (at least compared to Twitter) in a public forum would be ideal. I know that some of these conversations do happen on ResearchGate, but it would also not be ideal for this because it can’t keep various disciplines organized together like Reddit can, nor does it have the non-academic public attention that Reddit does so that the public can see how science is done. | b278b62387280ecad00afd2cabc2fa9d88d6adb1c7bdd5fedf6b8898de214f93 | [

Further, Reddit is anonymous, meaning literally *anyone* can come into a given thread or board and derail conversation.

"content": "Because Reddit is anonymous. There is no way to prove on an anonymous forum that someone is a PhD in chemistry or a ninja turtle, for example. The only \"assurance\" we have is that this sub in particular is small. Small communities can maintain their focus, and also we have a good moderation team on board. Even so, sometimes we will have random posts about undergrad studies, spam or once when a nutjob said that cheating should be allowed else it'd be discrimination against people with attention deficit.. So yeah, no real way of differentiating apples from oranges on Reddit. What we can rely here, to some extent, is in the kindness of other random Internet strangers who are also either looking for help, or looking forward to helping others. Lastly, networks where we know who is who: LinkedIn and ResearchGate. The first is a horrible place, won't talk much on that. The problem with research gate is that there are no \"forum\" features as in reddit, create a thread and everyone sees it. It exists for stuff like Quora, ask a question and hope for answers. While knowing who is who is good, its also a problem, because people can be identified. Someone denouncing their advisor could be rattled to said advisor. A professor shit talking the academic/grant board (or anything) would be identified and likely suffer the consequences. A student wouldn't openly post online to avoid a toxic advisor and bad lab environment.",

"content": "Because Reddit is anonymous. There is no way to prove on an anonymous forum that someone is a PhD in chemistry or a ninja turtle, for example. The only \"assurance\" we have is that this sub in particular is small. Small communities can maintain their focus, and also we have a good moderation team on board. Even so, sometimes we will have random posts about undergrad studies, spam or once when a nutjob said that cheating should be allowed else it'd be discrimination against people with attention deficit.. So yeah, no real way of differentiating apples from oranges on Reddit. What we can rely here, to some extent, is in the kindness of other random Internet strangers who are also either looking for help, or looking forward to helping others. Lastly, networks where we know who is who: LinkedIn and ResearchGate. The first is a horrible place, won't talk much on that. The problem with research gate is that there are no \"forum\" features as in reddit, create a thread and everyone sees it. It exists for stuff like Quora, ask a question and hope for answers. While knowing who is who is good, its also a problem, because people can be identified. Someone denouncing their advisor could be rattled to said advisor. A professor shit talking the academic/grant board (or anything) would be identified and likely suffer the consequences. A student wouldn't openly post online to avoid a toxic advisor and bad lab environment.",

The only \"assurance\" we have is that this sub in particular is small. Small communities can maintain their focus, and also we have a good moderation team on board. Even so, sometimes we will have random posts about undergrad studies, spam or once when a nutjob said that cheating should be allowed else it'd be discrimination against people with attention deficit.. So yeah, no real way of differentiating apples from oranges on Reddit. What we can rely here, to some extent, is in the kindness of other random Internet strangers who are also either looking for help, or looking forward to helping others.

The top journal in my field constantly asks me for peer review, at what point is it reasonable to ask for a position on the editorial board? Is that ever even an option? So as the title states, the top journal in my field of speciality constantly invites me for peer review, invitations which I generally accept. In the past year alone I have done 7 peer reviews for this specific journal. Admittedly, I do frequently submit my reviews late due to competing commitments or get disinvited because the number of required reviews is reached (I assume they over invite in those cases, since I have often been reviewer #4 on some manuscripts). I also peer review for several other journals but less frequently; I feel this journal takes an unusually larger chunk of my review time and I wonder if it would be possible to approach them to be considered for their editorial board? Is this even something that one does or just waits for an invitation (if that ever comes)? Given that performing reviews as just a peer reviewer takes a lot of time and brings very little added value to my CV, I think having some sort of formalized position would at least justify me prioritizing this journal's reviews on a more timely basis than I have been up to now. | ef0cc19912e1b29fdae07ead7bfd4d51a14ea2dcc68e4ceccdb66d966ab71c2f | [

So as the title states, the top journal in my field of speciality constantly invites me for peer review, invitations which I generally accept. In the past year alone I have done 7 peer reviews for this specific journal. Admittedly, I do frequently submit my reviews late due to competing commitments or get disinvited because the number of required reviews is reached (I assume they over invite in those cases, since I have often been reviewer #4 on some manuscripts). I also peer review for several other journals but less frequently; I feel this journal takes an unusually larger chunk of my review time and I wonder if it would be possible to approach them to be considered for their editorial board? Is this even something that one does or just waits for an invitation (if that ever comes)? Given that performing reviews as just a peer reviewer takes a lot of time and brings very little added value to my CV, I think having some sort of formalized position would at least justify me prioritizing this journal's reviews on a more timely basis than I have been up to now.",

First faculty job offer. How am I supposed to feel? After ten years of school and four more of postdoc, a year of dozens of applications, I finally got an offer. Still waiting to hear from one more I did a campus interview with. It's less pay than I wanted, isolated location, less startup funds, and they "don't do tenure." Should I be happy? It's almost what I wanted. A lab, an office, teaching, low cost of living and a solid middle class salary. More than many will ever get. Should I feel disinfranchised? I just feel tired. | 9bd5756139b1941c38ac0fc458c421453c2a6402b22846d11eda55dae2abbd14 | [

How do.i go about with dealing with a senile professor? Hello, perhaps you all could help with this problem that I am having. Currently I am a junior in college, and I'm taking a class with a professor who I am sure incompetent. The semester has started in January, and as of March we still have not received a syllabus. I do not know what we're supposed to be doing in this class, other than its is a statistics course. For instance, we have had no tests, no homework assigned, and regularly he mixes us up with his combintorics class before us. Besides that, this semester he thought that it was an extension of last semester, so he gave us other students tests to take home and think about because he thought that it was us. Moreover, sometimes he forgets that we are even in class, and last week he went to get in the couch that is in the class room, but before he did he took his pants off. I think he has alzheimers or something, but I'm afraid that this is going to be like the last time I had him and hes going to just give me a B- without ever giving homework, tests, or a finale.. I dont know what to do. I've been to the head of my department to tell them about this, but they havent done a thing about it. The only advice inwas offered, was this is what graduate school is like and to just get over it. | 5e87041bdd3f373e38a7b0e02dc4dbb920c6b4301b7927ca90f180058ab0afb8 | [

Be extremely polite and professional, but lay out everything that's happened - emphasizing the pants removal - and make it clear that you have already spoken to the department head but, since you do not feel that your concerns were adequately addressed and since the behavior under consideration is so egregious, you feel the need to escalate. Handing out other student's tests *has* to be a FERPA violation, so I would stress that as well.

"content": "Certainly reporting up is the way to go, but, as you do, try to consider the possibility that what the professor seems to be a person who needs help and is a kind of person who is very hard to help. The chair probably knows this and just doesn't know what to do (probably at some point this professor was the chair's supervisor). Certainly what the chair is doing by ignoring this is wrong, but the thing happening to this professor is super terrifying to experience and observe (which is why denial is the usual response). *As a student* it shouldn't be your responsibility to do that work, but this professor could basically be any of us in 60 years. The most significant problem is that people are unwilling to properly care for this person. What's happening to you is inexcusable and really bad, but if the professor has dementia what's happening to you is really being done by the chair, the dean, etc. If the professor has dementia, then probably the professor is not taking off the pants - the dementia is doing it. I say all this not just because it's true, but also because you're probably more likely to get help from other people if you communicate the issue with them in this way.",

I do not know what we're supposed to be doing in this class, other than its is a statistics course. For instance, we have had no tests, no homework assigned, and regularly he mixes us up with his combintorics class before us.

How to Detect Papers from Online Essay Mills? I am a Composition instructor, and I'm 99% certain some of my students use essay mills (sites where students pay for others to write essays). It's pretty easy to tell when it happens, especially if the student's homework assignment vocabulary does not at all match the essay vocabulary (or syntax, grammar, spelling). I use SafeAssign, but that only goes so far and cannot detect original papers written by ghostwriters. Is there any way I could prove students have used an essay mill? | f4623b9927aadb0fe30c1ce2b7b8c33a936fd8889cc955e52c6f9dd39d190848 | [

If you are willing to up-end your course a bit, you can make it much more difficult for these assignments to work. I break my papers up into sections and require in-person peer review for most of the sections to count. A student that can't string together a sentence can't buy their way out of that classwork. My peer reviews total 25 points per paper, so they could squeak by with a C. It's more work, but I think it's also better teaching.

Advice please! I blew up on my boss A little background- I’m a surgeon who’s been running biannual clinical studies for the last 5 years (apart from regular work). All my studies have been published in reputed international journals and I’ve presented them as well. The last year has been rough with covid and a new job. However, I designed a cohort study, collected data, got the ethics board approval and wrote a manuscript while working 10-12 hours - 7 days a week. My boss (who has no experience writing academic papers) berated me for being slow and “corrected” the manuscript. I let this happen, even though it looked like a PowerPoint presentation. He also insisted on being the first author and has “given authorship” to a dozen people who haven’t even read the manuscript. I’ve shut up and put up with this crap mainly because I don’t want to lose the job Today- It finally went through the peer review where the reviewer is happy with the study but finds that the manuscript is “poorly written” I sat with the manuscript and bluntly told my boss that the reviewer is right and I want to rewrite it my way. He said it goes exactly the way it is and if the editor isn’t happy he’ll pull it out and ask one of his friends to publish it in another journal. This is where I blew up.. I said it’s my paper and I’m not going to let him. Pulling strings is bastardising the experience and I’ve worked too hard to allow this. He then said that I should pull out the paper and he’s going to exclude me from the paper. “A dozen people have worked on it” he said. I don’t need the academic points or recognition, but I can’t see my hard work being ruined . I also can’t risk losing my job .. how badly screwed am I? | 7eb0668b39af0dfd8ff8e5b6ba5608c2421c018a365404efb8a574550625b179 | [

"content": "WIthout wishing to offer a definitive statement, and obviously, standards can vary in discipline ( I'm a bioethicist with a humanities background), but this sounds like this sounds very much like research misconduct on your boss' part to me. On what grounds are they claiming ownership? Most journals I know would not accept merely running the lab/unit as basis for authorship, but if they did *something* substantive, they may have a claim. Importantly, most/many journals I know have standards of what counts as sufficient contribution to qualify as an author on a paper, and if your boss has \"given authorship\" to others who have not read the paper, they would not meet those standards. This is of course before we get to the fact that the paper as described is yours, not your boss' to dispose of. If you have done all the work as you describe, that sounds like the paper is \"yours\" - of course, if your boss has done some underlying stuff, like designed the programme/project of which your study is a part, or set up the background/lab/context etc (which it sounds like they haven't) then they may have a case to make that they get some authorship (likewise if the \"dozen others\" did do something significant), but if they have done none of that, I'm not sure how they justify getting authorship at all. Your institution (university? Hospital?) should have a research ethics office/team, who may be able to help with this. You could explain the situation, and ask their advice - they may have specific policy in place which helps you, but they may also define authorship in a way which gives power to your boss, but that should not (moral should unfortunately, not legal should) happen. Your trade union may also be able to offer guidance here. Hope this is helpful, sorry it is a bit vague. Good luck, this sounds like a very unpleasant situation.",

Advice please! I blew up on my boss A little background- I’m a surgeon who’s been running biannual clinical studies for the last 5 years (apart from regular work). All my studies have been published in reputed international journals and I’ve presented them as well. The last year has been rough with covid and a new job. However, I designed a cohort study, collected data, got the ethics board approval and wrote a manuscript while working 10-12 hours - 7 days a week. My boss (who has no experience writing academic papers) berated me for being slow and “corrected” the manuscript. I let this happen, even though it looked like a PowerPoint presentation. He also insisted on being the first author and has “given authorship” to a dozen people who haven’t even read the manuscript. I’ve shut up and put up with this crap mainly because I don’t want to lose the job Today- It finally went through the peer review where the reviewer is happy with the study but finds that the manuscript is “poorly written” I sat with the manuscript and bluntly told my boss that the reviewer is right and I want to rewrite it my way. He said it goes exactly the way it is and if the editor isn’t happy he’ll pull it out and ask one of his friends to publish it in another journal. This is where I blew up..

Advice please! I blew up on my boss A little background- I’m a surgeon who’s been running biannual clinical studies for the last 5 years (apart from regular work). All my studies have been published in reputed international journals and I’ve presented them as well. The last year has been rough with covid and a new job. However, I designed a cohort study, collected data, got the ethics board approval and wrote a manuscript while working 10-12 hours - 7 days a week. My boss (who has no experience writing academic papers) berated me for being slow and “corrected” the manuscript. I let this happen, even though it looked like a PowerPoint presentation. He also insisted on being the first author and has “given authorship” to a dozen people who haven’t even read the manuscript. I’ve shut up and put up with this crap mainly because I don’t want to lose the job Today- It finally went through the peer review where the reviewer is happy with the study but finds that the manuscript is “poorly written” I sat with the manuscript and bluntly told my boss that the reviewer is right and I want to rewrite it my way. He said it goes exactly the way it is and if the editor isn’t happy he’ll pull it out and ask one of his friends to publish it in another journal. This is where I blew up.. I said it’s my paper and I’m not going to let him. Pulling strings is bastardising the experience and I’ve worked too hard to allow this. He then said that I should pull out the paper and he’s going to exclude me from the paper. “A dozen people have worked on it” he said. I don’t need the academic points or recognition, but I can’t see my hard work being ruined . I also can’t risk losing my job .. how badly screwed am I? | 7eb0668b39af0dfd8ff8e5b6ba5608c2421c018a365404efb8a574550625b179 | [

What's the "soundtrack" of your PhD? Inspired by a post in a different forum for shaving where people described the scent of their aftershave as music, I'm curious: how would your PhD sound if it were a song? In my case it'd be probably along the lines of Swans - The Seer. A 30min progressive rock song, super long, quite confusing and chaotic to listen to. Sounds like something you'd hear in a cult. Some people like this type of music, including me depending on my mood. But if I'd show this to my friends and family, I'd get a lot of weird stares. Alternative choice would be a horribly improvised jazz piece by a bunch of people who never played jazz before.

What's the "soundtrack" of your PhD? Inspired by a post in a different forum for shaving where people described the scent of their aftershave as music, I'm curious: how would your PhD sound if it were a song? In my case it'd be probably along the lines of Swans - The Seer. A 30min progressive rock song, super long, quite confusing and chaotic to listen to. Sounds like something you'd hear in a cult. Some people like this type of music, including me depending on my mood. But if I'd show this to my friends and family, I'd get a lot of weird stares. Alternative choice would be a horribly improvised jazz piece by a bunch of people who never played jazz before. (research is in information systems btw) | f16404c6e1318b325c2cf7ad69c8926552769f9e414c6cb498966422b1abb454 | [

Inspired by a post in a different forum for shaving where people described the scent of their aftershave as music, I'm curious: how would your PhD sound if it were a song? In my case it'd be probably along the lines of Swans - The Seer. A 30min progressive rock song, super long, quite confusing and chaotic to listen to. Sounds like something you'd hear in a cult. Some people like this type of music, including me depending on my mood. But if I'd show this to my friends and family, I'd get a lot of weird stares. Alternative choice would be a horribly improvised jazz piece by a bunch of people who never played jazz before.

Poetic in its best moments, but always quixotic. Trauma-inflected. Took too long and wasn't what anybody, least of all its creator, expected it to be. And always coming back to Sydney and all it is and has been.",

So I would say either Possibility by Lykke Li or Roslyn by Bon Iver & St Vincent, literally just because they’re my favorite songs from the movies, and I’ve been listening to the Twilight soundtrack on repeat. So they’re quite literally the soundtrack to my PhD. I’m doing psychology research.",
