Just reading today.

Read one article for one 2023 project, and six chapters for another.

Bit of reading and writing a letter of reference.

Bit of reading and writing a letter of reference.

Read an article, 60 pages of a book for a different project, and did a bit of letter-writing (hands were tied).

October goals:

• Finish and submit paper #1 with colleague
• Make progress on paper #2 with colleague - I'm taking the lead on the data analysis and will probably turn to this once paper #1 has been submitted
• Make progress on paper #3 with colleagues - ball is in colleague's court and this is low priority for me
• Make progress on paper #4 with colleague - ball is in colleague's court and this is low priority for me
• Make progress on R&R with colleague - due in mid-November

Colleagues are finally getting back to paper #3, which only needs modest revisions before we take a shot at another journal. I'm cautiously optimistic that we could have this back out by the end of the month, although wouldn't be surprised if more delays drag it into November.

October Goals

• Get focused on sabbatical project!
• If book proposal is approved by organization, meet with publisher
• Work on manuscript presented at June conference
• Read book manuscript draft and write an endorsement for organization by end of the month
• Complete review of manuscript for journal
• If time, work on scholarly essay with friend for submission

Forgive my hiatus! I have been doing a lot of sabbatical travel and am trying to avoid emails and logins and such. A lot has happened since I last was on here two weeks ago! Last week I had maybe my best publication week ever, with a book chapter and two articles coming out within two days. That was pretty awesome. My book proposal was approved by the publication board after online vote. I am awaiting approval by the organization's director. If I get that, I will receive feedback from the board so I can revise my proposal before meeting with the publisher.

I completed an emergency review today for a journal and have another manuscript I will try to review today. My time spent on the sabbatical project has not been ideal because of so many other things going on. I did get the report in for my fellowship on the due date and the feedback is delayed because the organizer is ill. I also reached out to the special issue editors for an abstract my colleagues and I submitted in August (June conference presentation item on my list above) - we were supposed to get a decision on 10/15. I heard back that we will not find out until Friday, so that manuscript progress has been in limbo.

I will be at a conference early next week and presenting. In addition, as a book chapter author, I get to participate in a book signing experience since the books will debut at the conference. Even though my chapter is not that interesting and has three coauthors, I will pretend to be important for an hour signing books for people!

Whoo-hoo!

• Turn around desk rejected paper

Woke up to a desk reject - so adding that to the list. Should be an easy turnaround since there is no feedback.

[Parasaurolophus]

More on the letter, more of that book. I should manage to finish the book today or tomorrow.

Decent chunk of lettering, only a little reading.

More editing was done.

I suppose today my only goal is to finish reading that book.

Have a paper with "required reviews completed" so waiting on editor. Hope it's r and r and not reject.
