Never get high on your own supply and all that, but have y'all ever tried reading one of your old publications, or even a manuscript that's been under review for a while? Pure, underappreciated bliss #AcademicWriting #AcademicChatter
Third time was not the charm. Early January my paper was rejected by another journal. This one stung a bit. Unlike the last one, it didn’t include any reviewer comments. It took me a bit, but I have submitted to a 4th journal. For anyone that is curious, a preprint is available at https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/hb6rn_v1 with the title Universal Basic Income and Value Realization: Metaphysical Insights for Implementation in the United States. #AcademicWriting #PeerReview #Preprint #UBI #Economics #philosophy

Unfortunately, a very good way to motivate me to write is to have a bunch of little sweet treats around the table for me to graze.
@satrevik Both! I write a first abstract outlining the questions I want to answer, with placeholders for results (e.g. "the analysis [supported | did not support] our hypothesis"), then go back and rewrite it when everything else is finished.
Some people seem to agree, but I'm wondering what the proportions are. Which camp are you in?

"Our core claim is simple: writing is thinking.
If we externalise it, we risk hollowing out a craft that once bound inquiry, responsibility, and credit together."
What we lose when we outsource scientific writing - LSE Impact

I was trained to write the Abstract last when preparing an academic paper: finish up the paper first and then summarize it. Over the years I've reversed this: I now write the Abstract as early as possible. This forces me to focus on a few key points, and gives structure to the rest of the writing process.
Going forward from today, I’ll stop publishing and just repost this meme regularly #AcademicWriting #farright #radicalright
Having finally found the right combination of time and focus to get back to manuscript updates and revisions, I feel subtle satisfaction and fulfillment. Some co-authors, who have otherwise done great job in the lab and in the manuscript they delicately deviate from co-authorship towards „reviewership” are mildly irritating, but not sufficient enough to taint the net good feeling of this moment.

Blog post on writing today: Editing isn’t one giant fix-everything move. Different kinds of revision need different kinds of attention; trying to do it all at once is a great way to freeze. Choose your horizon!

I'm about to return De Los Reyes's Discrepant Results in Mental Health Research--return it with an Aarrgh. I like the guy's thinking; I buy his thesis. However, I'm not going to plow through the rest of the book, nor take his course at UMd. He intends this for a text, but he writes it as though it were a dissertation or a journal paper. Sentences have so many references embedded in parentheses. More than once I've had to track back to find the beginning of the sentence. Scare quotes: even the American Psychological Association doesn't expect him to say " . . .'cherry-picking' results . . . . "; To used scare quotes around the same word multiple times, even if used in a non-ordinary way, is a favor to no reader. Pity: he has something to say. If I were convinced he offered an approach I would value, I'd keep slogging. As it is, I'll save my dry eyeballs for other tasks. I'm disappointed in Oxford University Press for not having cleaned up the overuse of scare quotes, and for their sometimes-unfortunate placement of figures relative to the text discussing them.
