"In retrospect, these strategies were a form of authorial self-preservation."
Autoethnography of the rhetorical and emotional dimensions of writing about study limitations:
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/17470161251363704The 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.

I enjoyed reading this - I rarely enjoy reading academic articles, but this one speaks to arguments about #agonism in #HigherEducation
I make similar points about #AcademicWriting in ch 2 'Academic writing as political': https://uclpress.co.uk/book/critical-perspectives-on-academic-writing/ #OpenAccess

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.

The Digital Humanities Now website has come out of hibernation and kicked back into gear. OK, so it took me a whole year to notice this, but better late than never to spot a very interesting resource.

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]

Just talked with #DisabilityServices at Colorado Christian University. They’re encouraging me to use #MicrosoftWord instead of #LaTeX for schoolwork, since Word has built-in dictation that could help when my #RheumatoidArthritis flares up and typing gets hard.
To other #Blind folks: how do you remember all of Word’s keyboard shortcuts? I swear I spend more time navigating the ribbon than actually writing. I stick with LaTeX because I can remember commands better than shortcuts.
They said Word’s dictation is accessible, so I’m giving it a shot. But I’m also wondering: what reference managers do you use? I’ve been using #Zotero since it works with #VSCode and LaTeX, but I don’t know how well it integrates with Word — and definitely not with #PowerPoint. My school has me doing a lot of #APA-style presentations lately.
Would love tips from anyone juggling accessibility, citations, and academic workflows.

Great @EASE seminar yesterday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjYWGlatYZQReally 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#Registration #PreRegistration #RCT #NightshiftEditor #AcademicWriting

This article argues that #CriticalRealism
(CR) should develop its own theory of #AcademicWriting
because of CR’s explicit commitment to #HumanEmancipation
and #StratifiedOntology

Until recently I was still using paper and pen for note-taking but after seeing an intriguing post about #AcademicWriting I switched to #Obsidian and it's been a revelation.
Really like the markdown functionality.This is exactly the kind of thing I joined #Mastodon for.
