Excited to read @Liz_Chiarello’s new book!

[The Scholar’s Sidekick @ScholarSidekick]

I’ve had a few spots open up in my schedule over the next two months, so if you’ve got a book chapter or article you’re ready to get some help developing or that needs line editing, now is a great time to snatch up a spot!

@DerronWallace @sssp @ASA_SREM @ASA_SoE @asayouth @ABSociologists @SSSP1org @OUPAcademic @BrandeisU @possefoundation @Gates_Cambridge @MarshallScholar This is fantastic! Congratulations!

@victoriadreyes You would never think it of someone else, my friend! Don’t let that inner voice take liberties.

This childcare shortage is no joke! While I had hoped to be back to full-time editing in January, I am only going to be able to take a very limited number of projects for the next few months!

@jwgolann @vupeabody @kelly_slay Congratulations on the grant! So exciting!

[The Scholar’s Sidekick @ScholarSidekick]

I’m all booked up until I start maternity leave on June 1st! Save those wonderful projects—I will be back to work, looking forward to updates and new projects, in January.

@jwgolann @PrincetonUPress @vupeabody This is fantastic! Congratulations! Well-deserved.

@mades_78 Yikes!

@phsiao4 @ewrigleyfield No pregnant woman is going to find pregnancy mortality rates supportive. (Or helpful). Why share?

@nessiopeia @shamuskhan You’re seriously overestimating how much time it takes to make this observation and compose a ton in cheek tweet about it.

[The Scholar’s Sidekick @ScholarSidekick]

@Liz_Chiarello I didn’t know that!

[The Scholar’s Sidekick @ScholarSidekick]

@mades_78 @davidsmeyer1 My guess is either the students who chose the out of class option did so because they knew they needed their notes (different kind of student) OR the students in class had to synthesize the material in advance, which resulted in better comprehension. Or both.

@6News I think you meant the Arbery murder trial. Don’t downplay it.

[The Scholar’s Sidekick @ScholarSidekick]

@akmskarpelis Yikes! If I came across a question like this, I would exit the survey immediately. No reason to think the data will be of any use to anyone.

[The Scholar’s Sidekick @ScholarSidekick]

@SandraVPorto @OpenAcademics You are in sociology, it seems, and using “I” or “we” is generally acceptable in most venues! I often recommend clients switch to these. It is both more honest, and it is often considerably less awkward. You might use “this article” in some cases, if it feels right.

Is there some helpful article out there on frameworks? I remember learning about typologies, for instance. But I have seen “frameworks” used so many different ways that I have lost perspective.

[The Scholar’s Sidekick @ScholarSidekick]

It is very common when I am editing a paper that presents a “new framework” for me to end up wondering what a framework even is, anyway. It seems like a vague concept that indicates “here are a few related ideas you might apply to future research.”

[The Scholar’s Sidekick @ScholarSidekick]

But what makes a “good” framework? What should a framework do?
