PRO TIP: It's almost the end of the month. Write up EVERYTHING you did this month.

You read someone else's paper and provided feedback? WRITE IT DOWN.

You peer-reviewed an article? WRITE IT DOWN.

You participated in a seminar? WRITE IT DOWN.

You'll be surprised by this.
Often times, we don't even realize how much we are contributing to scholarly life (to our discipline, our field, our colleagues and peers, our institution). Writing what you did over the course of the month reminds you of that (beyond surviving, which is a success in & of itself)
To be perfectly clear: surviving is a success in and of itself and keeping yourself, your family alive and together is also a success. This approach intends to make visible all the invisibilized work that accompanies the work-from-home approach.
I revised a book chapter and wrote another one from scratch, and I just realized that thanks to sifting through my emails.

THREAD: on making your claim of novelty and contribution to the literature VERY clear with an example from @profcovert

This will be of interest to book writers, article and book chapter writers and thesis writers.

Note how Pinley Covert makes her research question clear.
Pinley Covert establishes that this notion that San Miguel de Allende was on track to become an internationally-recognised tourist town that is prevalent in the mindset of a lot of people was (in her words) "not a foregone conclusion". She then clearly outlines research questions
Also note how Pinley Covert clearly lays out different alternative explanations (in a very well laid out "if X, then Y" format). Note how (in the third screenshot, pp. xx) she also firmly expresses the multiple explanations SHE OFFERS that counter traditional narratives.

This #HowToJPART webinar sounds like it's going to be incredible, what a lineup of powerhouses! :D

The seminar is recorded and will be made available on Twitter, share with the list-serv, and everyone who registered.

The webinar will cover new authors' experience w/JPART.
First off, @DrEEBeaton #HowToJPART shares her views on how she and her coauthors decided on submitting to JPART.

I am SO excited to hear about what a High-Risk R&R means at JPART (I've had one like that at another journal meaning - "your revision may or may not make it"

ABRO HILO para Twitter hispanoparlante sobre la redacción de la sección de conclusiones de cada capítulo de la tesis y de la tesis global.

Si leen mi blog regulamente, sabrán que diseñé tres técnicas para ayudar a mis tesistas (de licenciatura, maestría y doctorado).
Una de mis técnicas más productivas es la Tabla Analítica de la Disertación (Dissertation Analytical Table, DAT)

raulpacheco.org/2019/09/the-di…

Aunque está en inglés, se pueden dar más o menos idea de la estructura de la DAT de una de mis tesistas que se acaba de titular de doctora.
Los otros dos dispositivos de control son el Resumen de Tesis de Dos Páginas (Dissertation Two Pager, DTP) raulpacheco.org/2018/08/the-di…

y la Narrativa Global de la Tesis (Global Dissertation Narrative, GDN) raulpacheco.org/2020/01/the-gl…

Todos mis Dispositivos de Control se complementan.

Llevo escribiendo sobre métodos y técnicas de investigación más de 10 años, y de escribir mi blog, más de 14.

Entre las preguntas que más frecuentemente me llegan son:

1) Cómo combato el "bloqueo de escritor/a"

2) Cómo construyo una buena pregunta de investigación.
3) Cómo inicio-escribo-termino mi tesis de licenciatura-maestria-doctorado?

4) Cómo escribo una ponencia, un capítulo de libro o de tesis, un artículo?

5) Cómo hago una revisión de literatura?

6) Cómo tomo buenos apuntes?

7) Cómo hago investigación en ciencia social rigurosa
He dado varias charlas sobre métodos de investigación en ciencias sociales, métodos cualitativos, etc.

Aquí un par de charlas mías. La primera sobre rigurosidad en métodos cualitativos.

Good morning and happy Monday! I need to write, finish and submit a book chapter (last year commitment, incredibly supportive research group, I can’t decline this late in the game). Deadline is Friday.

The challenge is #1500wordsaday until Friday and then take full weekend off.
The first step (for me) is to write an Initial Outline raulpacheco.org/2020/11/writin…

And then map out the writing strategy, start filling up Topic Sentences and Reflective Questions so I can get to the Detailed Outline
Once I create a Detailed Outline (helped by Topic Sentences and Reflective Questions) I move on to breaking down the work into Memorandums and expanding the Detailed Outline to make it as "full" as possible.
