Today:

• Send off July Paper.
• Read more of partner's dissertation.

I'll be all done with the dissertation-reading in a few days. Next week, however, I have a paper to referee and some stuff to read for August's papers.

[Parasaurolophus]

Today:

• Write glowing referee report.
• Read more of partner's dissertation

And maybe, depending on how things pan out (it's a hot day, so I might just give up first):

• Do some work on Foggy Paper.

Today:
1. Comments on revised methods draft from grad student #2
2. Finally get preregistration uploaded to OSF

Damn! Finally finished reviewing a paper that took me so long. I almost finished a bottle of wine to keep myself staying with the paper! Damn! The paper got rejected.

[Parasaurolophus]

Today:

• Finish reading partner's dissertation.
• Do some reading for Foggy Paper (1-2 articles).
• Work on Foggy Paper.

I'm still not happy with the state of Foggy Paper, but it's too hot to think clearly, so I give up for now. Maybe tomorrow.

Thanks for keeping this up, Puget!

July goals

• Finish long neglected paper and submit manuscript to target journal - my co-author and I are at the finish line!
• Start manuscript from grant project
• Finish up manuscript with superstar and rising star for target journal
• Continue to help colleague transform part of her dissertation to an article - target journal identified
• Start new project with the only person in my subfield who I have not collaborated with yet - meeting has been set for the end of the month
• Finish multi-author report of project I got to present at an international conference two years ago!
• Hope my conditionally accepted paper for journal special issue gets published, my third revision for another journal finally gets accepted, and my currently under review paper that I wrote with three current and former students gets a R&R

Update

• Three papers are under review (third R&R, long neglected paper, and manuscript written with three current and former students.
• Got the word today that conditionally accepted paper will be out in the next two weeks!
• I did start the grant project manuscript, and have several people working with me on revamping the grant report into a publishable paper.
• I had not gotten anything from rising star in our trio, so I wrote hu today since the draft had not been updated since July 10th. Hu wrote me and superstar author that hu was having lots of issues and I can go ahead and take over, so I will start that tomorrow.
• I meet tomorrow morning with colleague to help hu transform their dissertation into at least one article.
• I meet Friday with colleague in my subfield to see if we can work together on a project finally.
• I added to the multi-author international manuscript which will be a report published by an organization, and am waiting to hear next steps.

So far, I still feel rather productive for this crazy time. I am going on a road trip with my spouse this coming weekend to a neighboring state to meet up with the in-laws and hope we all stay healthy.

I tidied Foggy and wrote another 1000 words of it, so I'm giving myself a pass on the last of the day's stretch goals. I kinda feel like reading some more, but something completely different, so I'm gonna have a look at the dreaded "to read soon" folder.

Hard to know quite what I feel like doing today. I've been in an anting-around kind of mood since finishing July Paper. Some combination of 2-3 of these, I guess:

• Read for Co-Authored Paper 2
• Work on Foggy Paper
• Start Book Review
• Work on Unusual Outlier Paper

[Sun_Worshiper]

July Goals:

• Get paper #1 under review - finalizing with coauthor now and we should be able to get it out soon... but this paper has had its share of setbacks so fingers crossed
• Get paper #2 under review - got some feedback from colleagues, need to make a few edits before submitting, also coordinating with coathors but I think we are all wanting to get it out the door asap
• Make progress on paper #3 (this is R&R) - working with coauthors to finalize; due to journal in August but I'd like to get it out in July
• Complete and submit book chapter - about 2/3s complete and due at the end of July

Stretch Goals (if all other things are done early):

• Submit IRB for new project
• Make some progress on new paper with colleague

Managed to get a third paper out the door.  This is a major R&R, and I'm not sure whether reviewers will be happy with the revisions.  I'm optimistic, but cautiously so... so wish me luck.

Next week I'll finalize the book chapter.

• Work on Unusual Outlier Paper

I wrote 400 more words of Foggy Paper and fixed up a section, and wrote 200 words of my book review. I'm a bit bored of my doings, so I think I'll stop for now. Maybe I'll pick up UOP later, and edit this post. Shrug.

I think I need a change of paper scenery, so:

• Work on Book Review
• Work on Unusual Outlier Paper
