Great video. My paper was accepted in a journal on Monday after a major revision. Just awaiting the email for the article proof before publication. Advice that I can give to anyone writing for a journal: when reviewers ask for revisions, do them fully, quickly, and politely. Be patient and be prepared to wait.

Although I am not (yet) a PhD student, what I have seen in some people's BA or MA essays is that they clearly have just not read enough essays or books in the field of what they are writing. You kind of are what you read. In my field (English), having your own voice in your narrative is quite important as it's not just listing data, but there are conventions of writing such essays and certain structures and methodologies, which after a while will sort of go into your system. And people just clearly don't read enough or observe closely enough the structure of the papers they should be reading. I recently read one book I had come to a bit late into my MA thesis (still writing it), but the style and methodology was so strong that I basically couldn't help imitate it when going over my second Chapter. I ended up writing 2 new pages at the start just in a similar style to explain my methodology.

Your videos are always helpful. One request is it would also be helpful if you make a video of writing an actual (demo) paper and demonstrating the actual writing process (data collection or writing from already collected data/literature). Not completely writing the whole paper ofcourse a demo or couple of sentences or maybe a paragraph for each section would be enough to get the idea. thanks!

Coming from someone who just finished their MRes and applying into a doctorate porgramme, spending time to research about the reputation of the Uni's postgraduate programmes, their staff in the department/faculty that you are interested in, alumni, etc. is really useful in finding your fit. Also, I would look for integrated programmes - they provide an easier way to 'top-up' into a doctorate programme, i.e. your dissertation or final project for your MRes/MPhil can become the basis of your PhD thesis. This is what I chose. As for standing out, I found from my experience that great and consistent grades compounded with a great personality and proactive approach to academic work were paramount. The latter two, you can convey in your writing to the university or during a prelim interview.

A tip at least for math and physics: Your first journal submission should be a LaTeX file (of course) or a pdf file that was compiled from one. Though it should meet good formatting standards you do not need to adapt the article to fully fit the style of the journal at this stage---that comes later. Do yourself a favor and do not waste time on formatting your article to the style of a journal that may very well reject it.

@@pedroqueiros3314 that makes no sense. how can you write a coherent results section before you have prepared the results fig/tables. The results section is the objective description of your findings. The intro is simply the rationale for your study, which you should already have mostly written from the research proposal. As i said, the order i suggested is based on preparing the sections in an increasing order of requiring thinking., which is very helpful for new/inexperienced writers.
@pedroqueiros33143 жыл бұрын
@@toothdoc8206 Before the preparation of tables/figures you already understand the underlying results. Sure, you may have generated some figures and tables for your own analysis but these rarely directly go into your final manuscript; instead you then process, summarize, etc your results into a reader-friendly visual (thus fig/tab prep coming last as I mentioned). Regarding the intro, sure if you are writing a research proposal you can do that, but often a PhD is inserted into a larger framework, where each student is responsible for a particular part of a project, reusing the same general research proposal used for the communal funding would not work.

To publish a peer-reviewed article is not that hard - I could even published three peer-reviewed papers from my Masters. But when it comes to my PhD trying to squeeze out a paper at a top-notch journal such as in Science and Nature; it took more than courage and writing skills. And without these high qualities papers as assets getting an academic position is like crossing over an ocean with a straw raft.
@musicmuse092 жыл бұрын
what is your advice on the rate of publishing needed in a year? i noticed that some phd students are like on a race to submit as many papers as possible maybe to have a higher chance of getting papers accepted. But is this a good strategy? or is it better to plan well and ensure that the paper has some useful content instead of just trying to repeat the topic in different ways? thank you.

I mean… you should leave it to your supervisor/corresponding author (if he/she is well oriented in what was going on with the research project ofc) or you should propose it and sent first draft with your authorship order idea. You know how delicate this topic is in the academia, I’m curious about your opinion. Cheers

I have edited medical research papers for 13 years, and with all due respect, I take issue. For example, your "cut and paste" advice. This could get you accused of plagiarising, even if it is your own paper. Rather, if the experimental procedure is the same as another published paper, then you should cite that paper if it is accessible, and state differences where they exist. In addition, papers are best kept to about 3,500-4,500 words, so don't inflate with repetitions from previous papers. Writing a readable straightforward research paper is an art. Like all else in life and academia, most research papers are mediocre or worse, both in language and science. I am stopping your video at 10:56, because I can't listen to any more of it.
