Repairing his run-down laptop, the grad student is tempted to obliterate the anxiety-ridden piece of junk instead.

Someone asked a library worker what floor a subject was on while I was waiting for the (30) books I had on hold, and I answered without thinking. And I was correct. This may say bad things about my social life.

My love language is putting together google drive folders where I share all of my research resources, tenderly grouped into subfolders and featuring a perfectly formatted annotated bibliography. May or may not be putting one together rn after my friend expressed interest in medieval texts on magic and may or may not be in the process of uploading my high-quality scans of beautiful primary sources.

Collaborative Writing: Tips for Co-Authoring Research Papers

Collaborative research is an integral part of academic work, and co-authoring research papers is a common practice in the scholarly community. By combining the expertise of multiple individuals, you can produce high-impact research. However, successful collaborative writing requires effective communication, coordination, and a shared commitment to the project. In this blog, we'll explore valuable tips to ensure the success of co-authoring research papers.

Define Roles and Responsibilities Before embarking on a collaborative research paper, it's essential to clarify the roles and responsibilities of each co-author. This includes determining who will lead the project, who will conduct data analysis, and who will be responsible for writing and editing. A well-defined division of labor sets clear expectations from the outset.

Establish Clear Communication Open and effective communication is at the heart of successful collaboration. Ensure that all co-authors are on the same page regarding the research objectives, timelines, and milestones. Regular meetings, both in-person and virtual, can help maintain transparent and ongoing communication.

Choose the Right Tools In today's digital age, there are numerous collaborative tools available that facilitate co-authoring research papers. Consider using platforms like Google Docs, Dropbox Paper, or specialized reference management software (e.g., EndNote or Zotero) to streamline the writing and revision process.

Set a Timeline Develop a timeline that outlines the key milestones, from data collection to manuscript submission. Having a clear schedule ensures that the project progresses smoothly and that all co-authors are aware of deadlines.

Respect Each Other's Expertise Each co-author brings a unique set of skills and knowledge to the table. Respect and acknowledge the expertise of your collaborators. This mutual respect can enhance the quality and depth of the research.

Collaboratively Plan the Structure Work together to plan the structure of your research paper. Decide on the order of sections, headings, and subheadings. This planning stage can help maintain a consistent and coherent narrative.

Establish Authorship Order Determine the authorship order, keeping in mind the conventions of your field and the contributions of each co-author. It's essential that authorship reflects individual contributions rather than seniority.

Data Sharing and Management Ensure that all co-authors have access to the necessary data and research materials. Establish data management and sharing protocols to maintain transparency and accountability.

Review and Revise Collectively Collaboratively review and revise the manuscript. Encourage co-authors to provide constructive feedback and be open to making revisions. This iterative process is key to improving the quality of the paper.

Address Disagreements Constructively Conflicts and disagreements may arise during the collaborative process. Address these issues constructively, ideally through open discussions and compromise. It's necessary to assert a positive functioning relationship.

Proofreading and Editing Consider professional proofreading and editing to ensure the paper's language, grammar, and style are of the highest quality.

Plan for Authorship Agreements Before submission, create a clear authorship agreement that outlines the roles, author order, and expectations for all co-authors. This consent can serve as a extract point in case of debate or disagreements.

Acknowledge and Cite Contributions Properly acknowledge and cite the contributions of each co-author in the paper. Ensure that all individuals who contributed significantly are appropriately recognized.

Collaborative writing can be a rewarding experience, leading to the creation of impactful research. However, it requires commitment, communication, and a shared vision. By following these tips, you can navigate the challenges of co-authoring research papers and produce high-quality work that advances knowledge in your field.

As per usual every few months, it looks like my planned video is going to be postponed, and by extension all the others I had planned after it. This is why YouTubers are typically ex-grad students instead of current ones.

Very interesting lichens! How do you find so many? :D

You can find the websites I use to find pictures of lichens under the "images: source" section of all my posts. I have a bunch of different websites I use, and a spreadsheet so I know which ones I've done. I use pictures that are under the creative commons copyright because I a) can't afford to go to all the places lichens are b) don't have the time c) don't have a good camera/am not good at photography, and d) am not trying to make money off of this site at all. Education only! I wish I could just travel around and take pictures of lichens and that could be my job but sadly that ain't where I am at in my life :( To make a post, I go to one of my favorite websites, browse around until I find a new lichen I feel like posting/has images available, and then google search it to find as much info as I can.

If anyone ever wonders why I’m on here so much despite being a grad student:

I’m a grad student, there’s a lot of waiting around involved

getting out of a rut

my few days of regression were not significant to my journey at all. i'm aware that going backwards a little is something that always will happen when you are growing. i did so well in my first 10 days or so of productivity before i entered this. it overcame me and i just did not have any motivation to do anything. i wanted to lay in bed forever, not eat or study or go outside. it is so unlike me and it always makes me feel so inauthentic.

i have a bit of an odd coping mechanism to get out of a rut. i'm not sure how healthy it is but whenever i feel myself growing so horribly bored and tired, my main priority is to not mindlessly consume content. i choose a show (usually atla, since it only has three seasons) and for the following week or days, i watch it all. LET ME SAY THAT BINGE-WATCHING AND COMPROMISING SLEEP AND OTHER ACTIVITIES IS NOT GOOD. but, it allows me to realise that i cannot live like thar, and since i am watching with purpose, when the show ends, i return to my regular life.

this explanation is not very good, so in the future, i will better define what i go through and how i deal with it, hopefully, to help anyone who struggles with the same thing. my focus now is to continue my 100 days of productivity and finish the term on some wins.

love, joanne
