Just received the acceptance for my 2nd paper for publication, but I’m unable to be happy because my progress has been stagnant since almost 6 months now. I’m starting to feel like what’s even the point of these publications if my #PhD is never finished! #PhDLife #phdvoice

When doing peer #review for a journal, is it ok to comment on a manuscript’s grammar and language knowing it’s coming from a non-English native? You can understand what author is trying to say, but it’s taking a lot of effort cuz of the language @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter

@drimran_farooq @PhDVoice @PhD_Genie Clearly reviewers are merely skimming papers. But at the same time, I’ve known editors to disregard reviewers decision and accept the paper. So, aside from the authors, the journal system itself is flawed. I’m more stunned at why are they using AI for a “case report” 🤷🏻‍♂️

@melkorman @PhDVoice I authored a paper and added my mentor’s name as 2nd author even though she didn’t ask for it. Sent her a draft to check and she removed her name and told me she couldn’t put her name just because she’s my supervisor! 🙂

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Yes. Given how long some journals take even for desk rejection, it’s only fair that you be alllowee to submit it to multiple journals, if any of the journal proceeds for review, you should be able to withdraw from other journals.

@iimcomic I’m assuming when you say “gated societies” you mean societies where they have already filtered out ppl based on religion, gender, sexual orientation, language, food preferences, and whatnot. Because only then it’s possible to live in a bubble.

@PhDVoice But this isn’t true for PhD. If you are in the initial years of your research, I’d suggest quit and find another supervisor in another university, surely he/she couldn’t have influence over ALL the universities. There’s no point taking shit from him/her.

@abhishekp3117 @krsna52244373 @ShivAroor The fact that we feel the pain of the mother because she's standing there in tears is what makes us value these brave soldiers' sacrifice and valour.

@ThePhDPlace That’s true for any/every job, isn’t it? It’s difficult to separate external/unrelated issues from your work life. Some are successful at keep them separate, and some are not. The important thing is to know the source of your anger and mood swings, so you know how to manage it.

I don’t agree to the 2nd part though, the “coursework” is there to support and aid your research and lit review is very much a necessity.
