April Research Thread

[Parasaurolophus]

Just translating today. Gotta make up for yesterday's lost ground.

I had grand plans to work on my manuscript today but I was sent on a wild goose chase all over town by my mom who had surgery yesterday. I am exhausted but did manage to have a nice meeting with a student, review some students' final paper drafts, and do some things for my journal editor and IRB chair duties. The only research-related task accomplished was working with a graphic designer to make banners for my library repository.

I'm hoping to make progress on the following in April:

• Book project #1 - priority is to identify and contact potential interview subjects for qualitative work
• Book project #2 with colleague - polish and, if possible, submit proposal to potential publisher
• Submit chapter 1 to publisher along with some additional details about our plans for the manuscript
• Paper #2 - finish revisions and submit to journal with colleagues
• Paper #3 - revise and submit to new journal with colleagues (desk rejection with option to make some minor edits and resubmit)
• paper #4 - present at conference in a couple of weeks
• Paper #4 - revise in light of conference comments and, if possible, send it off to a journal (sending this to a journal is a stretch goal, but not entirely unrealistic, especially if my co-author is able to dedicate time)
  

Spent most of the day grading, but also finished a draft of Chapter 1, Book Project #2.

Did that, and finished my paper too. It just needs an abstract, and I can send it in.

[Parasaurolophus]

Today I'll write the abstract and submit the paper. And then I'll hit my translation quota, and maybe make a start on my invited piece for June. Or maybe not.

Article done and submitted, quota done. Made the tiniest start on the June piece.

I did a (very) little work on Book project #1 today. Hope to do a bit more tomorrow.

Also heard from coauthor on paper #2. With some luck we should get it off to a journal next week.

Just translating today, I think.

Did loads, wrote 600 words of June's paper.

I have some annoying translation comparison stuff to do today.

Well, I did that.

Just translation progress today.

Just translation progress today.

Did it and read a thing.

I am pleased with what I did accomplish for this month's goals, but still have plenty of work to do on my manuscript so I can start writing my book! My goals will not look too different tomorrow.

Monthly audit:

• continue translating
• Prepare and give Symposium Talk
• Finish and submit Special Issue Paper 1
• Get most of the way through Special Issue Paper 2

I submitted SIP2, and I think I also had a referee report in there somewhere. Plus all the Newsletter crap.
