Ok, so writing *is* happening. Not the way I usually spend the last week of my summer vacation, but perhaps I'll finally get this damn article out of my head…

"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.

Many academic papers could be half as long—or less. But we write them to be self-contained and accessible to a broad scholarly audience, so we repeat background, define well-known terms, pad the argument just to be safe. And then publishers restrict the number of footnotes.

In an ideal world, a paper would be short, dense, even cryptic—and followed by a massive apparatus of notes explaining context, terminology, prior work, alternatives. Instead, we do the opposite: long main text, minimal notes

Kieran Healy is a prince amongst #sociologists, and we should all work up the courage to follow his example #AcademicWriting #AcademicChatter

Woher weiß ich, wann ich genug gelesen habe und mit dem Schreiben anfangen kann? Oder, andersherum: Leide ich am Mythos des "noch eine Quelle zitieren", mit dem ich den Beginn des Schreibens hinauszögere?

As usual for the new year, I’m getting requests to edit dissertations that have final submission deadlines of ... now. That rarely works well. Editors can only handle so many last-minute manuscripts, and that number is often zero.

So, this seems like a good time to mention: if you’re working on a dissertation or JMP due even at the end of this term and you want it professionally edited, it is not to early to start talking to editors.

Hello @annamills, thank you for your work on #AI literacies, pedagogies, and awareness raising. It's helping me, at least, raise awareness within my own academic writing contexts.

Are you aware of any similar and/or specific work - including your own that I'm not aware of - relating to the use of #LLMs and other #ArtificialIntelligence writing technologies in #DoctoralWriting #DoctoralResearch #ResearchWriting?

If you had to read a #CaseStudy on how academics (including #DoctoralWriters and #Supervisors) are actually using #ArtificialIntelligence writing tools, what would you like the case study to cover?

Asking as part of ongoing research.

The whole #AI thing is a moving target dictated by non-educational imperatives, so, I'm trying to design a case study that is, to some extent, future-proof.

Holy shit, #UQ already has a #ChatGPT #citation protocol in place, which I stumbled across just now

In addition to this master page, each style guide they publish mentions how to integrate ChatGPT outputs and makes it super clear that you have to clear your use of ChatGPT with your lecturer
