As a fourth year doctoral candidate, in addition to having completed comprehensive examinations and prospectus and working on the dissertation, my thoughts are also turning towards the job market and securing that first academic position. This purpose of this blog is to chronicle the trials and tribulations of completing my Ph.D. and finding that first job.

Some More Items on Academic Publications

Okay, so I really don't have time to get into a detailed follow-up post about publishing and academic publications like I had hoped due to the fact that I am trying to get some semblance of routine established for dealing with my dissertation data that I have just finished collecting. But I did want to share some links on related issues that I felt might be useful in our discussion of this topic.

Let's start with two that I think are right on target for our discussion - ‘Impact’ from vegreville
And the second - Can journals game the impact factor system? from Cognitive Daily
A bunch of open source journals - Links for me from Scott Adams
And for a little humour - In which I prepare a manuscript not for publication from A Gentleman's C

Hopefully now next week I'll be in a routine for my data and will be able to spend a bit of time reflecting on this again.
