April Goals

• Continue cleaning up transcripts for data analysis with subfield colleague
• Revise rejected manuscript and submit to different journal with two colleagues
• Continue collecting data for project with new faculty colleague in department
• Try to move on IRB and manuscript for project with college friend and another colleague
• Hopefully get proofs for two accepted articles to finalize for publication

Other Goals

• Hear something regarding two manuscripts under review, hopefully R&R
• Continue working on long-term project, which requires people to look for old documents in their offices once they feel safe to return
• Possibly submit proposal due in late April for conference in November

The rejected manuscript finally got submitted today to another journal.
Data collection has continued with my new colleague, here and there.
The project waiting for IRB is paused, as both of my co-authors have ignored my emails spaced a month apart asking if they still want to do it or not, which is fine with me. It was initiated by one of them anyway, and I need to stop taking on new projects...I keep telling myself this!
I reached out to subfield colleague today to see if hu's GA is still helping us clean up data or not so I know what we need to do next.
I decided not to submit a proposal to the November conference by last week's deadline, so I was delighted when the head of the organization emailed me yesterday for an invited presentation and offered to waive my registration fees!
So far, I received one of the two proofs for accepted manuscripts.
I contacted the editor for one under review since November, who said it was still with reviewers and we would hear soon. More than two weeks later, we have heard nothing.
We got a rejection on the other one that was under review, but found another journal to try (third time might be the charm).
Today I reviewed data for the special issue project due in June.

More of the same today.

Did more of the same! The section is shaping up.

[Parasaurolophus]

Today I have a few smallish Newsletter tasks to take care of, some conference panel invitations to send out, and perhaps book section work to continue, if time and marking allow.

Good enough. More tomorrow.

I have to do things in the world today, but I'll try to get April's lone book section into some kind of shape.

The rejected manuscript got sent back for being too many words over maximum word count. I chopped it down by 1,000 and we resubmitted. I guess that is my new superpower lately! Today I worked on coding transcripts for the special issue manuscript.

April goals:

• Finish conference paper
• Do some light copy editing on a conditionally accepted manuscript to make the editor happy
• Keep working on data collection project

I haven't gotten much research done in the last couple of weeks, but still managed to get through these tasks. Looking forward to having more time for research in May.

Not happening, I'm afraid. Maybe tomorrow, definitely by Sunday.

I'm still getting used to my reduced time and energy, but I think these are sufficiently modest:

• Find 2-3 more panelists for annual conference panel

• Referee a bajillion submissions to the annual conference[/s]

• Read one big item for each of three new book sections

• Touch up two book sections

• Read one item for Collaboration 3

[/list]

Stretch:

• Start a new book section
• Touch up and resubmit Collaboration 1
• Touch up and resubmit New Paper (well, it's almost two years old, but still doing the rounds)

The search for panellists is infinite (I didn't complete that goal because I haven't heard back from a ton of people). And I only did the big readings for one new book section.

Reduced word count manuscript was resubmitted yesterday. Other rejected manuscript was submitted to a new potential home today. Onward!
