I realize I'm imagining an extraordinary situation here, but humor me.
Hi. I'm in the life sciences, particularly molecular biology and life science. These two fields are broad. I'm particularly interested in certain topics in them.
For molecular biology, I'm interested in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, nutrition and nutrigenomics, and exercise/sports/muscle science.
For food science, I'm interested in microbiology, innovation and product development, and agriculture biotech.
However, I don't want to miss out on the other topics and fields. So I'm making this post to see if there are people here in other fields that would like to form a casual journal club. The topics can be about anything as long as it interests you, be it genetics, computer science, linguistics, economics, fine arts, etc.
We can meet every week or so and we talk about a study or just news on a topic that interests us. Not everyone needs to talk. Afterwards, we can go our separate ways to meet again next time, or we can just hang out. We don't need to prepare any presentations. We can just talk. Our meetings can be in person or virtual.
Send me a message if interested. Feel free to invite others, including people outside the UP System. I'll make a Discord server for us soon
I've had the worst luck with editors, translators and page designers. For example, the company a journal hired to translate an article of mine to spanish thought fitting to translate "Doutor" (or Doctor in portuguese, as in Doctor in Philosophy) to "Médico". If it was only a translation problem, i wouldn't mind it much, but my latest article suddenly had several typos in the published version, created by the journal during the process of fitting it to their standard page layout. The spaces between several words suddenly disappeared as well.
It is quite frustrating as none of these mistakes were mine and yet i imagine a reader will consider them as such, and judge me accordingly. Since the articles in question have a DOI, i don't think the journals can even fix it themselves.
Thus, i'd like to be able to fix their PDFs (converting to Word, fixing them, and then back to pdf) and posting the correct versions in places like researchgate and academia.edu. No content changes would be made and all paragraphs and phrases would essentially remain the same. Basically just fixing typos and separating words that were wrongly put together. Is that ok?
"Psilocybin is considered to be one of the least dangerous and the most beneficial drugs in the illicit drug category [8]. Studies have shown that it does not produce any severe mental or physical health effects [9]. Furthermore, several studies have reported that psilocybin produced positive and sustained improvements in overall health and well-being [8]. In fact, enhanced wellbeing was even reported amongst healthy individuals after receiving a single dose of the drug [8]. Therefore, research shows psilocybin can have rapid and lasting positive effects on mental health among those not struggling with depression [10-13]"
Am collaborating with a former professor on a journal article (Philosophy & Computer Science) and I just found out that they plan to submit it to a foreign academic journal. The foreign journal IS peer-reviewed. However their site doesn't include their journal metrics (e.g. Impact Factor). I know nothing about the relative clout of publishing in journals of differing qualities. Also the journal they have in mind is one which publishes articles primarily in another language (that is to say, that over half of each publication's articles are in a non-English language). If we submit there, then my uninformed innate fear is that it will turn out that future school admissions departments will look poorly on a foreign journal with an unpublished Impact Factor. It's a young journal as well if that matters, less than 10 years old.
Should I object to publishing in the foreign journal? Should I just trust the judgment of my professor and ignore the hypothetical consequences it could have on potential admitting grad schools? Is there some kind of central authority that rates Impact Factors for all the journals in the different fields?
What I'm really curious is whether I should ask them to fight for a better publication (with an actual Impact Factor) OR is publication anywhere pretty much comparable to publication anywhere else (as long as they're peer-reviewed)?
I've been doing bullet journals for a few years now and I love it. However, since I've started I entered the education career. This was pretty unexpected, but I currently work as a building sub and am now in the process of getting my teaching certificate, so I know that I'm going to be in this career for at least the next few years. I've heard of students creating their bullet journals to match up with the academic year, and when I started I thought I was done with school forever, so I never even considered that. But now my life really does feel like it fits into an academic schedule. Should I switch my journal to the academic calendar?
I usually start a new journal at the start of the new year, no matter how many more pages are left in it. I still have about half of my 2021 empty and I was thinking about just finishing off the rest of the academic year in this journal and starting a new one next September. Thoughts?
For example, in acedemic journals/ books, I wrote that somebody was a convicted or Nazi associate with a fake citing and evidence. Somehow this statement was overlooked and approved. Said person existed and feel uncomfortable and sue me. Do I get jailed?
Is the following sentence grammatically correct?
>The study, which was published in The Journal of General Psychology, looked at 317 academics working at universities in Turkey.
I believe it should be works not "working". What do you think?
Thanks
Hello r/Vaporwave! I'm a filmmaker from Vilnius, Lithuania. I have made three short films up to this point and currently I'm working on my fourth one.
If you're interested you can watch one of my films here (don't worry, there are subtitles): https://www.lrt.lt/mediateka/irasas/2000176867/odiseja72-trumpametrazis-filmas-detektyvas-riedlentininkas
I have quite huge ambitions for the film I'm currently working on. It's a short story about a girl who gets stuck in one of those "lost futures" that something like Vaporwave makes you reminisce about. While the "real" world drifts away behind her into the void until it disappears completely.
Anyways, I'm hoping you fellas could help me out with any decent books, journals, essays, academic works, films, clips, comics, mangas, psychology/philosophy books, etc. about vaporwave aesthetic, hauntology, nostalgia, sentimentalism and the feeling all of us here know very well. Something you seen/read that made you feel THAT way. My goal is to be able to evoke this kind of feeling throughout the runtime of my film.
Something like an Instagram account similar to Digicam.Love would help me out as well (90s cameras, point and shoots, early CGI, early world wide web stuff, surfing the net on dial-up internet, home made vhs tapes and so on...)
And finally, if you feel like it, just share some stories about your experiences when you yourselves had that vaporwavy feeling between being awake and asleep, nostalgic golden hour sunlight on your face, magical realism type of stuff.
Appreciate any help. Thanks guys!
I have a little analysis that I made in financial agriculture that would be insightful for the professionals of agriculture (like farmers). I was thinking of publishing it in an agricultural magazine instead of an academic one. It’s very empirical and doesn’t have much theoretical background. Is it a bad idea ? Would it have any value in the academic world ?
I'm taking this course in a international high school in China, and I researched about the vocational education system in China for my IRR. For that I used some articles in some Chinese academic journals. Do these articles count as valid sources like academic journals of other languages, or do I have to establish their credibility?
Especially for the Spanish-speaking countries, are there academic journals that are international, primarily containing Spanish-language articles, in fields that could have region-specific interest? Such as education (pedagogy), library science, anthropology etc.? Or do these tend to be local, within each country?
As a current student, I'm not looking forward to losing access to academic journals when I graduate. Unfortunately not everything can be found on scihub. Do you have access to academic works through your employer or any other means?
If there are other sensible ways, care to elaborate?
