Welcome . . .Academics Only is a "how-to" community for anyone interested in academia. It's specifically intended to grow into a collection of best practices that's super helpful to new people: frustrated PhD students, anxious new professors, and independent scholars. There's separate resource tabs for each group.
Academia shines most brightly when it's cooperative. Here's a place where we can share the ideas, strategies, and systems that we think will help others. For instance, if you created a useful Teaching Tip Sheet, here's where you could share it. If you read a helpful article on how to write more clearly, here's where we could post a link. If your advisor gave you a great template creating a conference poster, here's where they could share it. It's for basically anything you personally created or discovered that you've found used and that could help others.
You can either send me what you have, or you direct me to what you discovered and I'll track down the author. Also, you can either post it with your name or post it anonymously. Just shoot me an email (AcademicsOnly@yahoo.com) and we can schedule a call if you wish. Academia can be incredibly rewarding -- for you, your students, and those influenced by your research and other projects. I hope some of the ideas here can help speed you down that road so you can have a bigger impact and a lot of fun. Let me know what might help you most. Vertical Divider
