"In retrospect, these strategies were a form of authorial self-preservation."

Autoethnography of the rhetorical and emotional dimensions of writing about study limitations:

The paper draws on 8 manuscripts, 17 drafts, 22 #PeerReview by the author, journal entries, and email exchanges.

Interesting reflections & it illustrates the challenges and questions, especially if one has not written many manuscripts, yet.

✍️ Two CULCORC members, Elisabeth Ulrika Wennerström and Štěpán Šanda, recently took part in the Academic Writers Retreat at Jönköping University in Gränna, Sweden.

Štěpán highlighted how the retreat helped him improve the structure and style of a journal article, while Elisabeth described the experience as both inspiring and productive, allowing her to advance an empirical chapter of her PhD dissertation.

Congratulations to both!

Watercolouring recent academic fieldwork along the so-called “Green Line” that divides the island of Cyprus. Making slow sense of experiences, thoughts, observations on paper.

Is there a word-phrase to describe citations that are meaningful, ones that understand the context in which what they are citing was written & that use the cited work in ways that enhance their own - the opposite of 'vanity referencing' [1/2]

Great @EASE seminar yesterday

Really good content also for authors, PIs, #PeerReview -ers & people who consider #RCT methodology for future work.

The discussion was lively and covered some advanced topics.

One key moment:
the broader landscape of registrations, and within that the specific trial requirements, is often not covered well in the literature and such talks - for more, check in at 6:24min

Hoping those familiar with #LaTeX can give me some advice here. I've started using it to create my assignments for school. I'm not writing technical papers yet, but I find using LaTeX with #Zotero in #VSCode more #accessible with a #ScreenReader than most other setups I've tried.
Since my discussion posts have to follow #APA style, I’m using LaTeX for those as well as full papers. That part is going well—but I’m running into trouble when I need to actually post what I’ve written.
My school uses Brightspace, which allows discussion posts in either rich text or #HTML. I have #Pandoc installed, so I tried converting my LaTeX source to HTML and pasting the code. But Pandoc didn’t include my references section in the output.
I also tried copying from the PDF, but that stripped all formatting.
Does anyone know how I can get a clean HTML version of my work—with references included—that I can paste into Brightspace?
Here’s the command I’ve been using:
pandoc main.tex \
--bibliography=references. Bib \
--csl=apa.csl \
--standalone \
-o main.html
It creates the HTML file, but the references section is missing.
Any tips?

I have recently observed more frequently that editors make changes to texts that go beyond correcting obvious errors/adjusting formalities without labelling them or consulting the authors. But: Texts belong to the author! Changes that go beyond the above mentioned must be approved by them. It applies to words, syntactic structures & punctuation. It is always possible for editors to suggest changes transparently, but the final decision lies with the authors.

I'm collecting ressources for writing #SystematicReviews, from formulating workable research questions to suitable databases and their quirks, to tools for screening. What should I not miss?
