Hi. I'm an academic and this channel complements my blog (nickhop.wordpress.com/) and twitter (@NHhopUTS) postings. These mainly involving sharing things aimed at supporting postgraduate research students - doctoral students, masters by research, as well as early career academics.
This channel will include these areas, but also broader content relating to my research, which is about parent education, professional learning and practice, and simulation in clinical education... more soon!
Your video and images are fabulously stunning. This is something I'm considering and I will start by researching your team at Summit Climb. A a photographer, I'd love to know what photography/video equipment you used. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you for this excellent video! I really appreciate this perspective of peer-reviewing as pedagogical rather than gate keeping. Something I will try to keep in mind when I am receiving feedback as well!
I've seen better. JK. This comment was to mock similar responses in other critiques that most who don't understand the work needed to make a concise video. Thank you Nick good work.
One of the very best expedition videos have ever seen in my life. Wish I were a part of this wonderful international team and partake in the Baruntse climb
Dear Authors, It is with regret that we have to inform you that your manuscript is not suitable for publication in Journal . As there is a high volume of high-quality manuscripts , we must often turn away papers that might be publishable but which we do not have sufficient space for. What changes i needed to resubmit? Please reply
Hi Anju. This is a very common form of rejection - it happened to me last year exactly like this. In some ways it is the 'best' form as it is saying there's nothing wrong with your paper (yet), and even you chose a relevant journal. But pressure on space often means that editors have to select 'bigger' papers or ones they see as higher quality (which often means favouring certain topics or methods). My advice? Keep the paper largely as it is, and prepare it to send to another journal (making a few small changes so it really fits the new target journal). Thank you for sharing your experience and question Nick
Thanks for this content Nick, I think to study all issues for my Ph.D project. But I understand now, I must consider practicalities such as time, financial and energy. I wait for other contents concerning Research methodologies.
Miles, M., & Huberman, A.. Qualitative data analysis: an expanded sourcebook. London: Sage. This is pretty comprehensive of more classical approaches. I would encourage you to look up St Pierre, Jackson, and Mazzei's writings (separately and together) for more contemporary / post-qualitative approaches too
Most papers that went on to win nobel prize have seen rejections. Most well established scientists saw some rejections through their entire career. Not just science rejection is even in art. Who has not heard of great Vincent Van Gogh! It is undeniable that people with lower abilities often taken most powerful positions and dictate the world. That is unfortunate thing. But truth if powerful enough will eventually make through to the world in one way or the other.
Hi, some of us on the expedition had been up Aconcagua before, which is 6,960m. But some had only been over 5,400m passes before. Technically, definitely crampons and ice axe are needed. As with most commercial himalayan climbs these days we used jumars on the steeper and narrower sections, which is less technical I guess. The climb up to the Western col is quite steep but doesn't require ice climbing moves or double ice axes. On summit day the section along the ridge is wonderfully exposed, and steep in a couple of places, but with fixed ropes was not too troubling.
Hi. My paper received 3 revision comments, and then ultimately led to a rejection. Do you think that, with major changes, it is advisable to resubmit to the same journal after this rejection?
Hi Your experience sounds horribly familiar! You could try emailing the editor to see if they will accept a new submission, but my guess would be the answer would be 'no' - so perhaps make the changes that you think do make the paper better, and send somewhere else...
Amazing Nick. I enjoyed watching this. I’m an PHD ethnographic case study researcher in final write up stage. I really think videos like these are in short supply. I’m with the University of Wolverhampton in the UK but my ethnographic research is based in Abu Dhabi where I live so as to be immersed in the field. Thanks again.
Congrats Thais! Revise and resubmit is a good outcome! It means you have 'passed' the tests of relevance to the journal, and the editor thinks you have something interesting and new to say...
Thank you so much Nick for the vedio. It's quite helpful as I am asked to give a feedback on research paper. I am doing this first time, your vedio suggested some pragmatic steps, which is greatly appreciable.
