that's when all my authors start doing the most contrary and annoying things?
Our authors have to fill out a form -- just a list of ticky boxes, actually -- indicating what roles they played in the authorship (statistics, wrote paper, revised paper, obtained funding, etc.), as well as a place to let us know their conflicts of interest.
Once a week I have a paper with 8-10 authors, 3 of which just went down the list of ticky boxes and checked them all, so that's what gets listed in the manuscript. Then they review the manuscript and lose their tiny little minds that we said Dr. Jackass was responsible for statistics and YOU MUST REMOVE HIS NAME NOW. Our standard reply is "Dr. Jackass checked that box on the authorship form, which we will send back to you so that he may revise it to indicate his correct contribution to the paper." Which really means "Fuck you and your slack-ass non-list-reading co-author."
Happy Scola Day!
Yay brenda!
So I just have to brag on my school for a minute. I just came from a meeting with about 10 teachers & administrators in our middle school, where we talked about what we can do to better support our GLBTQ students, faculty, and families. We discussed not only curriculum and class environment but also the idea of starting a GSA (possibly to go by another name/acronym, so as to be more inclusive) for faculty and community members. It's times like this that I really love where I work.
brenda, that is awesome! Brava!
My hands are freezing. Maybe I'll take this report I'm reviewing outside...
Kate, it is times like this that I am jealous of where you work. Single gender changes the equation a bit, of course, and we do have a minimal GSA, but sadly and mainly our culture just isn't there.
That's awesome Kate!
My Tivo restarted and then was just showing static...and then suddenly worked. So now I think it's probably dying, but not dead yet. Ack.
Watch recorded TV like the wind, meara!
Happy Day of the Scola!
(Doesn't that sound like a sci-fi- horror B-movie?)
Does this mean Scola takes over the world, with the help of the galactic council? I AM ALL FOR THAT.
Happy birthday, Scola!
Whoo, brenda! You are a rockstar.
Congrats, brenda! That is awesome!
Does this mean Scola takes over the world, with the help of the galactic council? I AM ALL FOR THAT.
As Supreme Dictator of Earth, my first declaration is: More vacation days for Scola!
