Esta pregunta me permite hacer un HILO para mi Twitter hispanoparlante.

Esta pregunta SIEMPRE me la han hecho mis estudiantes y mis asistentes de investigación: "profesor, debo leer un artículo más? O ya puedo empezar a escribir?

Mi sugerencia: leer hasta llegar a SATURACIÓN.
A qué se refiere la Saturación Conceptual? A que el mismo concepto siga apareciendo una y otra vez. Los mismos autores/las mismas autoras. El mismo artículo aparece citado de forma repetida en varios artículos, libros, o capítulos de libro. Aquí mi post: raulpacheco.org/2016/06/how-to…
El problema de leer sin estructura ni organización es que terminamos descargando y leyendo y releyendo el mismo artículo una y otra vez. La estructura es FUNDAMENTAL así como la organización y sistematización de los materiales de lectura. Yo utilizo un proceso muy sistemático.
Yo utilizo Excel para organizar mis lecturas. A este método lo llamo Conceptual Synthesis Excel Dump (CSED) raulpacheco.org/2016/06/synthe…

Tengo varios hilos en los que muestro en castellano cómo integro mi subrayado, lectura y apuntes en un solo sistema.
Aquí va uno:

Aquí un hilo sobre cómo tomar apuntes de un libro de autor(a) único(a)

En este hilo muestro cómo Leo, tomo Apuntes, Sistematizo, y Absorbo (LASA) materiales:
Y ya que me acordé, el paso intermedio entre el Tema de Investigación y los Intereses de Investigación en mi Estructura Secuencial para Desarrollar Preguntas de Investigación requiere un proceso para "encontrar el hueco en la literatura"
Sobre todo, para poder avanzar en la tesis, más que pensar en "desarrollar el marco teórico", es FUNDAMENTAL diseñar una buena pregunta de investigación. Aquí un hilo mío sobre el tema:

HILO para Twitter hispanoparlante.

La misma pregunta que hace mi colega y amiga @EvaOArceo me la han hecho estudiantes que me siguen en Twitter:

Cómo aprender a redactar mejor en castellano?

A mí me cuentan maravillas del material de la profesora Venier (QEPD) y de sus cursos
Personalmente, creo que más que manuales de redacción, gramática, etc., el estudiantado necesita leer mucho, tanto de literatura (ficción) como de material técnico, para ir mejorando su lectura.

Alguien recomendó "Economical Writing" y estoy 100% de acuerdo, McCloskey is genial
Este es mi blog post (en inglés) sobre "Economical Writing" raulpacheco.org/2020/09/econom…

Para aprender argumentación, yo recomiendo el Weston "Las claves de la argumentación" sanborns.com.mx/producto/17028…

Weston tiene la genial habilidad de mostrar cómo se debe argumentar bien.

THREAD: On using backcasting techniques and Overview Devices to revise the doctoral dissertation (chapter by chapter and/or the full draft). Applies to any thesis, for that matter. You can also extrapolate my strategy to revising a book manuscript as well (edited or solo author)
Recently, a doctoral student asked me "Professor Pacheco-Vega, how can I revise the full draft manuscript to a state where my advisor and committee can/will want to read it?"

Well, first off, advisors and committee SHOULD always want to read it, regardless of its state.
But I understand the question. This is the ages-old issue of "when is my writing good enough for someone else to read it?"

When I was younger, I was MUCH more of a perfectionist than I am right now (and by God, I AM a perfectionist, and no, I'm not gloating, it's a flaw!)

THREAD:

It's March 1st, 2021, and we are at about the 1 year mark of lockdown in Mexico (many other countries locked down earlier/later than this).

For some reason, life goes on, and in some ways, we still need to get things done: courses are under way, projects carry on.
This thread is going to be on planning and structuring our time. I know for a fact it's really hard because of everything that is weighing on us right now. But we still have to continue with a number of activities, so if you like having a plan to work with, this thread is for you
I took the weekend off, so I really didn't plan my week nor month on Sunday nights, as I normally do. It would have been nice since we are starting the week on March 1st, perfect coincidence (start of the week and of the month). raulpacheco.org/2018/10/the-su…

It can be done Mondays too

THREAD: A couple of strategies to "stay on top of the literature"

It's important to note that just about everyone feels the same (see my Twitter search twitter.com/search?q=%22st…). It's absurdly difficult to stay on top of the literature. Thousands of papers are published EVERY DAY
Let's start with stating the obvious:
- There is an absolutely unmanageable influx of published work that would necessitate that we devote our lives to reading to even barely make it to "stay on top of the literature"
- There are too many competing demands for our time.
- Increased care work has meant that women have been disproportionately (NEGATIVELY) affected by this global pandemic.
- For some bizarre reason, some people seem to be operating on the assumption that life is normal when it's not, so workloads have increased, support has not.

Attending this webinar right now. @JimGoldgeier is hosting and moderating, @adam_m_auerbach @ProfSaunders @LindsayMayka are panelists alongside David McBride from @OUPAcademic

The webinar will focus on the challenges facing academic authors of first books (dissertation-to-book)
Key points:

- @LindsayMayka - massive fieldwork, making sense of it, instead she wrote memos, not "a full dissertation"

- @ProfSaunders - the unpredictability of the process of writing itself.

- @adam_m_auerbach - impostor syndrome, raised expectations about the book.
In the second round of commentaries, @LindsayMayka mentions "writing dates" (log on to Zoom, write together for a couple of hours, converse on the chat about stuff if it comes up) - this is *exactly* the process that @amandabittner 's writing group follows (9-11 EST M-F)

I got myself a few new methods books.

First, Pandian’s Methods Book. Image
This book will be well known to my public policy friends. Image
This book is one I am discussing in a forthcoming edited volume. Image
