Liebe Editor*innen, Conference Chairs und akademische Verleger*innen – wenn ihr wissenschaftliche Arbeiten zur doppelblinden anonymen #PeerReview-Begutachtung verschickt, achtet doch bitte darauf, dass die PDF-Dateien keine Metadaten enthalten, aus denen man die Namen oder Zugehörigkeiten der Autor*innen ablesen kann.
Ansonsten weiß man halt, wer das Paper geschrieben hat und die ganze weitere Anoymisierung ist für die Katz.
Vielen Dank an alle.
One more step in the long story: unboxing the English-language book born out of this slow wander Along The Line!
Why yes, I spent half a day chasing and reading some obscure sources. So that I may now transform a reasonably clear sentence that states something quite obvious into a whole new paragraph that will hopefully please the reviewer and their besties. Still love this job. #AcademicWriting #AcademicChatter.
Hey, writing community—today I’m struggling to find the mental space for those final edits before submitting my academic paper. Writing as a layperson aiming for peer review feels daunting, but I’m reminding myself (and maybe you, too!) that we’ve come this far. Deep breath. Let’s keep going. #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #AcademicWriting

Wishing y'all a productive week #AcademicWriting #AcademicChatter
Revising an academic journal paper, at that stage of needing to cut many hundreds of words to get back under the word count after adding things per reviewer feedback. Being really brutal in places! Also giving a Paddington Bear hard stare at the remaining new footnotes still to be filled in. Or cut! 400 words down, 600 to go ... #Academia #PaddingtonBear #AcademicWriting #Journal #PeerReview
I'm thinking of creating a sort of pledge/agreement to use with both academic collaborators as well as grad students, where we (the collaborating team or the student and I) would pledge to never use generative AI in our work.
That would mean I would not collaborate with other researchers who want to use these tools, and I would not supervise students who want to use these tools.
I'm curious to hear thoughts on this.
“Rich representation” in references to primary and secondary material in academic writing. #111Words #AcademicWriting #RichRepresentation #References #PrimaryTexts #SecondaryLiterature https://andrewjshields.blogspot.com/2025/03/rich-representation-in-references-to.html
Me making the best use of that precious time before the new term starts #AcademicWriting #AcademicChatter
Managed to write a whole page this morning. Unfortunately, it's for a research proposal.
If I'm totally honest, I think it kind of fits between fantasy and science fiction.
TFW you're going back through every line of your conference submission, trying to find a paragraph that ends with only a couple of words on a new line, so you can trim that paragraph just enough to get those last few goddamn words off of pg 5 and meet the page requirements.
