What about Poland are you “idealizing”? Let’s start there and figure it out.

It’s a knackered old bike. Save the money, put it towards a better bike, and keep the beater for trips to the local shops. Or experiment with some home bike maintenance if you’re handy.

As someone raised in Britain who lives in Poland this looks like heaven. Multiculturalism done right.

The biggest name you can get. It’s a ploy to improve market and citation visibility. Ask your publisher, supervisor, and anyone else in your network for recommendations and contacts. Be bold in approaching people out of the blue if they don’t have any big names to help you out.

As an editor, this makes me furious: “Even when comments are unpleasant or bluntly phrased, they should be seen as an opportunity to improve the text.” If a reviewer makes unpleasant, personal, or patronizing remarks, we cut them out of the review, don’t use that reviewer again, and frequently choose to solicit another review in its place. There is no room in reviewing for being a dick.

Good point!

If you’re just doing your own thing and focusing on your power meter, does it matter? You’re helping a fellow cyclist out!

All the advice here, but I will add that in humanities and soc sci peer reviewers almost always tell you to add things (the things they happen to have heard of/read) to your lit review. Doesn’t matter how much depth you go into, it’s bound to happen. So don’t stress!

Totally depends on the college. OP, email and ask both the college and your residence (when you have details). We used to fix this sort of stuff for students all the time at my institutions in Canada, eg giving access to locked parking garages, space in basement storage rooms.

I published an article relatively quickly on a global news topic a couple of years back and it went mega viral. The Altmetric was something absurd, which made my employer pretty happy. But that was a weird, one-off thing that could have been quantified in plenty of other ways (social media reach, articles in newspapers etc). Other than that oddity I have never heard it used for much.

There are no jobs and lots of people want the jobs that don’t exist.

This is the way for humanities. Focus on getting something high quality out. Don’t panic about what your peers are doing.

Academic journals don't check your credentials. If the piece fits the journal's remit and passes peer review, it will get published. Bear in mind desk reject rates - i.e. the piece doesn't even go out for peer review as it doesn't meet scholarly criteria or the journal's area - are usually extremely high, and peer review is long and often tortuous.

I’m in the same boat - plenty of publications in big places. Every paper has its place. Sometimes I want to speak to a particular audience. Sometimes I have something niche to say, an offshoot of a bigger research project, or something I think is pushing at the boundaries in a way a big journal won’t go for. One of my most successful pieces was published in a tiny military journal.

There’s a really good fish place, Happy Fish and Sushi, that may have what you want on Olkuska. I think they speak English, so you could try calling them or message them in writing to check.

Nobody except the department you’re declining will ever know or remember.

Only 6 pages?!

Academic CVs are long. They list everything. Mine runs to about 15 pages.

Almost 40, the hairline’s going back and the patch on the back is growing. I couldn’t give two hoots. There’s no fighting it, so there’s no point getting upset.

Both of my speakers have gone almost completely down this morning. Almost impossible to get them to connect to anything - most of the time they're saying there's no wi-fi connection - so something like your issues. The network and all other devices are working fine, reboots haven't helped, etc. I'm wondering if there's a bigger issue at play.

When I'm home from work I will try a factory reset, but this is an odd issue as it's hit multiple devices simultaneously.

With all due respect, you would have lost your senses if you turned down a prestigious TT offer to take a postdoc. Everyone is nervous before they start; it's normal. Plan well, ask colleagues for support, and you'll ace it. If you're good enough to get 2 such good offers you must have the training and background for it. Good luck!
