On the beauty of single-author papers

by jordicabot | Jan 30, 2023 | doing research, publishing, Research Rants

Research is a collaborative effort. This is clear. But I confess I have a soft spot for single-author papers. When I was growing up (as a researcher) I admired the leader of my group  for consistently publishing papers on his own in the top conferences in our area...
Ethical authorship of research papers

Ethical authorship of research papers

by jordicabot | Jun 13, 2022 | philosophy, publishing, Research Rants

I have the feeling that more and more people cite workshop papers to sustain their claims. As if workshop papers were peer-reviewed. They are not. At most, they are “peer-filtered” (meaning that the PC of the workshop checked the work to make sure authors...

An email I got with all the wrong reasons to publish a paper

by jordicabot | Nov 27, 2014 | funny, publishing, Research Rants

This didn’t happen to a fried (or a friend of a friend…). This happened to me. I’m just removing personal details of the person that sent the email (“hate the deed, not the doer” or whatever works as the English translation of the Spanish...
