終於把人生第一篇publication的"草稿"搞定

小苑問我:你拖了足足兩年,會不會過時啊?

我:沒事,Dr. K還說,最近在維也納會有一個研討會,大家可能會對我們的研究有興趣。這草稿他愛拿去怎折騰也行,就是記得也把我的名字寫上,讓我的CV好看點就行。




其實,這份paper是我的thesis的簡短版,話說我剛完成就問Dr. K好不好一起把它投到一些比較小的journal去(學生處女作,是這樣的了),他拖了我整整一年,才答覆我。然後也曾雄心壯志地說要用別的方法去分析數據,然後讓我再寫,我當然沒有異議。只是,我也不知道他搞什麼,做出來的數據居然跟我本來的完全相反--我本來的是找到positive potential,他不知道做了什麼手腳的那個居然是negative的。由正變負,完全無法解釋。據知,是他的助手做的,也不知道是錯了還是怎麼了,總之這明顯不可能忽視的問題,導致我最終還是得回到基本,於是進度嚴重拖慢,拖久了自己也懶了,卒之拖到現在。

另外,分拆出來的某個關於問卷的部分,也可獨立成文,不過是psychomatric的(我想是吧?),總之我又在想怎樣湊出一篇短文來。

我終於明白,為什麼某些人一年可以出20-30張paper了,因為一份數據,理論上可以寫N份... (⊙o⊙)
