You know that weird let down after passing your dissertation defense?

I feel a mild version of that every time I submit an article.

When your IRB is approved go ahead and save a copy of the application and the approval letter in the folder with your project.

Then you’ll know where it is and can access it even if you’ve changed institutions by the time the publication is coming out.

Check your institution’s open access policies.

Some university libraries have agreements with publishers that your journal articles can be published open access without a fee.

Open access articles are more likely to be viewed - especially by people without institutional access.

Pro-tip aka how I (almost) never lock my keys in my office anymore.

Using a carabiner, I hang them on my door handle or on my light switch.

As soon as I open my door I hang them in the designated spot (handle or switch, whichever fits that office).

I remember because I touch them as I leave.

Tenure and Promotion Letters - Examples and Guidelines - Google Drive

Since it's Tenure-And-Promotion-To-Associate letter writing season, a few years ago I compiled a set of materials that I found useful in crafting my letters. They might be useful to you too, perhaps.

A colleague and I realized we both color code the work we do for the university (responding to email, committee work, etc.) using the school's colors.

I use Green for scholarship because promotion is the main way to get a raise in academia.

What's your color coding system?

I hear that.

I teach interpreting and when they say they are creating the interpretation for anyone that means it’s not going to hit the mark for lots of audiences.

Oh yeah. I’ve had that problem. Some of our conferences cross fiscal years. So we can’t get reimbursed for June because it’s past deadlines. And we sometimes can’t get reimbursed for July expenses because they were pre approved because they can’t approve until the fiscal year.

:(
