I am on the job market this year. It is SO STRESSFUL, even more than I imagined. Sometimes I feel confident—I have publications in good journals, a lot of teaching experience, and a passion for research—but this feeling disappears so quickly, replaced by extreme anxiety….

Last year, my ICA paper got rejected. I felt very frustrated and skeptical about my academic life. This year, some accepted, some still were rejected. I feel very peaceful. My advisor

I didn’t expect this post to get so much attention! Just to clarify, I’m not pessimistic about academic jobs. On the contrary, I’m hopeful and confident that I’ll find a position I love. This post was more about the natural self-doubt anyone faces in the job market.

When I feel anxious about one study and the success of its publication, I comfort myself I have a whole life in academia, one year or two is the whole story for a student, but relatively short for a researcher. Quality is always important than quantity. Stay positive.

Do computer science conferences support communication research effectively? Computer scientists may question the compatibility of the disciplines' paradigms and the novelty and contribution of our studies. Curious to hear what the communication community thinks about this.
📰 Another day, another resource (though this one is more a draft): a list of

and computational social science conferences (e.g., comm, journal, po, polisci, css, hci). Feel free to share with colleagues/students/classes.

Thank you very much! I hope you love this study.
In a very interesting talk,
@Summer912_
shows how news app reviews on Google Play - which are supposed to focus on technical and UX aspects - are increasingly becoming politicized, e.g. focusing on news media‘s trustworthiness or perceived bias.

Some of my projects are about social bots and they are ongoing. The loss of API would be a disaster for (student) researchers like me.
Have you used our tools such as
@Botometer
, Hoaxy, and Fakey? They will stop working soon once
@Twitter
discontinues free access to the API. This decision will affect many research projects and useful tools including those by

This is a lesson for me, as a graduate student, and an early researcher, that even though data is missing, we still need to be alive. Calm down and take a deep breath, don't "kill" yourself. There will always be a solution, only if you are still alive.....
