A good abstract is crucial, which can make them intimidating, especially when they have low word limits.

Structuring them around these 5 sentences has made them a lot less daunting for me, and *typically* can keep me pretty concise. 🤓

@timminglab Even the most famous painters drew things that nobody saw, writers have tons of unpublished material...that's how I explain it to fellow scientists.

Of course if one day you become the next Marcel Proust people will be ready to publish in paperback even your shopping list

@Niginakhon_ Once someone was hired and they did not bother asking for recommendations. After he behaved oddly for months they eventually wrote to ask. The answer

We do need a journal prestige index to finally show the real side of metrics😂..prestige is the percentage of people who will assume your article is good Just because it's featured in THAT journal...completely populistic and anti-scientific...JPI is like stabbing a dead body

[Abel Polese @Abiquitous]

maybe you all knew it but I just learned the @EU_Commission created a document overriding the (exclusivity of the) publishing agreement with commercial publ and easing #openaccess and self-archiving...

[The Scopus diaries and the (il)logics of academia @scopusdiaries]

@timminglab 🤔🤔 unfollow not but you blocked me once 😅 (and still unsure about why). But I keep on following you from this account (if you allow me of course 😅) since some tweets of yours make me reflect anyway
