The other day I asked a student to xerox something for me (for which an electronic copy did not exist) and he got the funniest look on his face, like I had just asked him to calculate something with an abacus. <BR/><BR/>I have a couple of papers on my CV that fall into the "not indexed" or "special volume" category, and I'm always afraid that someone who doesn't know how to do a search outside of Pubmed will assume I made them up out of thin air and they don't actually exist. <BR/><BR/>For that same reason I generally hesitate to cite them, even when they're the right thing to cite, because I know nobody will go to the trouble to locate them. Admittedly all they would have to do is email me for a copy of the pdf files, but they never do. Because of copyright concerns I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to post the full text on my personal website.Ms.PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050354864577547294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-74444758245920619632007-10-13T00:57:00.000-05:002007-10-13T00:57:00.000-05:00If you want to make sure people read and cite your...If you want to make sure people read and cite your papers, the most important thing is to make sure they are available on line. Probably you do this already, but it's worth emphasizing.<BR/><BR/>In mathematics the main citation index and review really reviews everything. I guess it's not as good in every field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-64457307395675588552007-10-12T11:24:00.000-05:002007-10-12T11:24:00.000-05:00I include two more considerations: 1) will the boo...I include two more considerations: 1) will the book reach a general audience outside of the sub specialty? I wrote a chapter for a book that is given/used/assigned to a clinical community. It won't really help all that much for basic science, but it will get ideas out to (and introduce my name) to a broader community. 2) who is the publisher? I'm displeased with the consolidation/profit taking in the publishing industry and am less willing to donate free labor to a for-profit enterprise like Elsevier. <BR/><BR/>(and, of course, the final consideration is one you mentioned. Is it something you want to write -- that gives you an opportunity to explore a big topic or idea) <BR/><BR/>Keep the comments coming. I really wish I had someone like you to talk to in real life, and the blog is the next best thing.<BR/><BR/>bjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-61337224047147946002007-10-12T08:59:00.000-05:002007-10-12T08:59:00.000-05:00Mhm.. never thought about this topic - but thanx f...Mhm.. never thought about this topic - but thanx for the recommendation (being a young researcher ;). I think too, that appearance in an article database is critical. But it must not necessarily be the ISI web - google scholar may be already sufficient.<BR/>About the introductiory article I am not sure if i would prefer a summary paper. Maybe the sense of such special books is not that clear to me. A good introductiory paper to the topic should always be indcluded from my point of view (otherwise what is the difference to conference proceedings? and what do I pay for?)mentaerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337822862621103715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-42168113122580027252007-10-12T08:41:00.000-05:002007-10-12T08:41:00.000-05:00In your previous post you say "resubmit" and yet y...In your previous post you say "resubmit" and yet you are giving up because you had a bad experience? <BR/><BR/>I can certainly sympathize with you. Bad experiences are extremely de-motivating and can stifle your impulse to work harder.Moby Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921345586805781063noreply@blogger.com
