September Research

[darkstarrynight]

I got a bit behind on here. Tuesday I had a good meeting with my coauthors and we set up next steps to address reviewer feedback. The student identified a journal for us to submit to when we finish. We are not on a major timeline because my colleague is moving across the country this weekend for a new position.

Yesterday I started my conference presentation and this morning I finished it. It is much too long for a 15 minute time frame, so I sent it to my co-presenter to see if hu can edit it down. Otherwise, I will tomorrow and will submit it at the last possible minute.

Today I spent time working on my new project and getting familiar with software. It was pretty exciting. One student research assistant came by to get materials from me this morning so hu can work on it tomorrow.

Word on the street is my dean approved my sabbatical application and sent it to the provost's office!

The journal I edit has a lot of submissions I need to review, including three that came in today. I guess tomorrow we start a new thread, so I just had to dump a bunch of stuff here to finish up the month!

Still typing up something I wrote about a year ago.

I might have just fallen in love with my own book.

Month end progress report-- it was an ambitious list, and as expected we didn't finish it all (I say we because it is all with coauthors as is usual in my field, so the goals are really collective). However, I'm pleased with how much did get done, and everything has made at least some progress.

1. Big collaborative paper: final round of revisions and finally submit the sucker
2. Grad student #2's R&R #2 revisions (submitted)
3. Recently graduated student's R&R revisions (waiting for final co-author to comment, extension from journal until 10/12)
4. Get recently graduated student's other paper submitted (bug co-authors to get us their comments-strategically waiting until they finish #3 first)
5. Get grad student #1's R&R resubmitted (in her writing plan-- keep following up with her on progress, due to journal by 11/11)
6. Get CSS paper submitted (full draft with co-authors now)
7. Start new paper with favorite collaborator and her student
8. Comments on other collaborator's R&R
9. Comments on other-other collaborator's paper

See you all on the October thread!

Working on Collaboration 3 when time allows today.

Did a little reading, light editing, wrote 300ish words and pulled out another 600 in quotes to help me structure the bit i' starting by tackling. My co-author has done a fab job of starting the project!

Also got my new laptop today, so I'm performing some file transfers and doing some configuring.

Since we're at the end of the month here are my September goals followed by progress made.

Sept. Goals:
1. Finish researching and drafting conference paper (which will become a book chapter).
2. Draft journal article based on class recently taught for possible submission early October.
3. Begin revisions on book chapter.
4. Complete R/R for journal article and hope for speedy acceptance.

Progress Made:
1. Enough of this is finished that it could be cleaned up and presented, but I'm going to keep working on it since it will be expanded later.
2. This article is written, and right now I'm tightening arguments, cleaning up the writing, and adding more citations. It will be ready for submission sometime in October (it was based off of a course I recently taught so I had copious notes prior to drafting).
3. Book chapter revisions were pushed to the end of the line, unfortunately. I began this past week.
4. Article was R/R'ed, and I'm still hoping/waiting for that speedy acceptance.

See you in the October thread!

Oh, right. Forgot it was the end of the month.

More modest goals this month. I absolutely have to achieve them all.

Regular:

• Finish August Chapter (now September Chapter)

[/s]

• Write up Collaboration 3

• Write this referee report

[/s]

• Prepare and give conference presentation

[/list]

Stretch:

• Anything else

But I can only stretch when I'm done with the other stuff!

I started on C3, at least.
