I think that endnote etc. are dead. I just asked ChatGPT to change references in a proposal from APA style (last names, year) to Science style (numbers) and it did it very well... wow.... People also use reference software to keep track of what they read and to make comments on it, but I still....

I have thoroughly loved reading this book. Like many I struggle to write on blank pages but there is a lot of great wisdom in this book and I suggest all early career scientists to read it. Thank you @martin-nunez.bsky.social for sharing your wisdom and experiences with us!

Desk rejections happen—and not always fairly Editors differ on scope/novelty/contribution to the discipline But papers are rarely accepted for the wrong reasons: even if the editor in chief is your BFF, there are other checkpoints Luck matters, but there are many journals Keep going!

Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5 doi.org/10.1371/jour... #languagebarriers

This is a helpful guide for students new to the publishing game. A step-by-step guide to getting your manuscript across the finish line, from start to finish. I appreciate how it doesn't assume hidden curriculum and is informed by the author's experience with English not being his first language.

“Quantity has a quality of its own"

Don't do this at home. This was a joke!

Great opportunity!!!!!

Is it ok to acknowledge in papers funding opportunities that did not give you any $? Like "We’d like to specially thank the NSX grant panel ABC for not giving us a cent and for pushing our creativity to a level we didn’t know we had—allowing us to complete this project with no funding"? #academia 🧪

If you got the book, PLEASE leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads ♥️ Pretty please 🙏☺️🧪🌐

Scientist here: Science doesn’t end at the bench. People often think science is only about experiments, data, and discoveries. But without writing, none of it goes anywhere. Writing is how we share results, build on each other’s work, secure funding, and ultimately move science forward.

One of the most enjoyable parts of my book was inviting researchers I admire to contribute essays This what David Wardle said: Every manuscript needs a simple take-home message. Every sentence must earn its place. Keep it clear, keep it simple.

While I was waiting for my nephews to take photos with the dinosaur exhibits at the Natural History Museum London, I flicked through @martin-nunez.bsky.social book on scientific never late for some good advice on scientific writing even if you feel like a dinosaur!

I got my first "negative" comment! I fully disagree with it. But it is fun (paraphrased to avoid trouble:)) “If comics and illustrations are what it takes to finish a book, then those readers are in the wrong field. I harbor grave concerns about the future of diligence in American science"

Best present for the students in the lab❤️ A Pocket Guide to Scientific Writing and Publishing was written for them!

Today I received the plaque for the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social W. S. Cooper Award for an outstanding paper in Plant Ecology! I should have received it a few years ago but it got lost in the Argentinean mail😂 Great that ESA was able to make me a new plaque! THANKS!

I started this #Mycologists Starter Pack, aiming to get all professional fungal researchers on BlueSky in one place. DM if you want to be added. go.bsky.app/UMrVSsp

I got some authors copies 😊

Hi all, my @linkedin.com account was hacked. I am trying to get it back since Saturday, but not luck yet.... And I have no access to it at all... If you see any weird activity on it, let me know!!

Pro tip for writers: Text < Tables < Figures Don’t bury your best results in the text—make them shine in the figures!

Love the reviews ♥️ of A Pocket Guide to Scientific Writing and Publishing Thanks!!!

Many people ask how they can support me as a new author The best way right now: buy the book on Amazon and PLEASE leave a review Reviews help the algorithm make the book visible to more early-career researchers To reach ECRs, I need your reviews🙂

“Other books teach you how to write beautiful sentences and paragraphs; Nunez tells you how to get your imperfect writing submitted and published.”

Mission accomplished!

So nice to see the book traveling so much!!

Cool! Acabo de recibir mi copia en Viena ;)

Very excited to be on this list!! Thanks so much everyone for your support!!!

new reviews 🤩 mybook.to/ScienceGuide

Thanks Pedro!!! "When I first came to Canada as a grad student, I wish I’d had this book by @Martin_A_Nunez. I’ll be giving it, alongside 'How to Do Ecology', to all my students"

Not surprised about this… “Peer reviewers more likely to approve articles that cite their work”

“The only way to get writing done is to sit down and write.” There truly are no shortcuts. Congrats, Martin. Looking forward to digging into this one.

The book keeps traveling around the 🌎 🌏 🌍 🌐🧪❤️

Dear student trying to get into a PhD program: Don't do this! Don't mass email faculty Look for potential advisors & email them one by one Tell them about your genuine interest and passions explain why you think this advisor is ideal Getting a new student is a HUGE commitment

Celebrating the small wins in academia….a reminder to myself (and maybe you….) Please share with someone you think might also need this reminder :) open.substack.com/pub/matthias...

New review⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I read the first 10 pages of the book and immediately passed it on to a grad student in my lab who will benefit immensely from reading it. A very good resource for trainees beginning their scientific writing journey. I'll have to get myself/my lab a 2nd copy!

good for office reading too!

I am being told that the “Pocket Guide to Scientific Writing and Publishing” is a great reading for the School pickup line … I really love ❤️ getting pictures of people reading it!! Keep them coming!

Pro tip for writers: Procrastinating is very easy But don’t wait until writing is “urgent” Make it urgent now 💪✍️
