Advice on Research and Writing.
|
| | |
A collection of advice about how to do
research and how to communicate effectively (primarily for
computer scientists). This site is especially useful for graduate
students. Has links to suggestions for papers in mathematics and
theoretical computer science, abstracts, presentations, and
graduate students in general. Also includes links to articles and
suggestions for women in graduate science programs, especially
women in CS. Unfortunately, many of the links point to PostScript
documents (.ps), which means that your computer must be able to
preview PostScript documents for you to read the document.
Specific, non-Postscript links include: How
to Do Research in the MIT AI Lab: Writing Includes reasons to
write, benefits of writing, suggestions on how to write a good
technical paper, techniques for getting and giving comments on a
draft, and general advice on how writing fits into research. This
how-to guide was originally intended for grad students in the MIT
Artificial Intelligence lab, but it applies to grad students in
almost all technical fields.

How To Have Your Abstract Rejected , by Mary-Claire van Leunen and
Richard Lipton.
|
| | |

your extended abstracts are rejected by program committees year

technical paper.

Online Writing Labs: Should We? Will We? Are We?
|
| | |
Abstract: Hypertextual writing resources, on the Web and elsewhere, are
forcing -- or is that "allowing"? -- students, teachers
and administrators to re-think and re-evaluate the ways we help
students learn to write. Perhaps no resource available has had
more of an effect over the last year than the sudden plethora of
Online Writing Labs (OWLs) available. But, "OWL" means
different things to different audiences, and as a means of
providing a multi-layered, multi-perspectival view of what some
of those meanings are, Kairos enlisted the aid of five academics
with varying degrees of vested interest in OWLs, to review,
comment and inform. Alphabetically, then, this web brings you:
