Mathemagenic discusses research blogging and she found, based on her experience, that research blogging covers the following tasks:
- publishing / dissemination / announcements (of papers, presentations, events by me and others)
- research process
- reflections
- emotions
- event blogging
- notes
- reflections
- event planning (including travel planning)
- paper blogging (notes on papers I read)
- asking for help (explicit)
- “enculturation” into research (reflection/learning on research culture, practices, tricks of the trade, etc.)
- articulation
- articulation of personal experiences (relevant for PhD)
- articulation of problems/questions (may be implicit call for help, but often just thinking aloud)
- writing-related (this is the difficult one)
- drafting/testing pieces that supposed to go into a paper
- giving space to pieces that do not fit into a paper
- reflections on methodology
I think “he”‘s actually a girl 🙂
Thanks. I’ll remove xvalid.
Sorry Lilia.
Why won’t anybody but me put a picture on their blogs?
I’m indeed “she” and not “he” 🙂
Ok, what about this Lilia? With the picture in my post, there is no more of a “she/he” problem, right?
Daniel,
I have a photo, although it’s hidden one click away (because I can’t find a photo of myself I’m ready to put on every page 🙂 – http://blog.mathemagenic.com/stories/2002/10/14/aboutLilia.html
Also – you still have in the text – “based on _his_ experience” 🙂
Daniel, that’s what happens when you put yourself out there for all sundry to see. I’m sure that you and Lilia have many more conversations as a result. Ain’t bloging great. BTW, I will be in Montreal in a few weeks, so maybe we can get together for a chat/coffee/beer/etc.
