Things like huge numeric tables, messy graphs, etc. I have a webpage in Github and put all graphs there, but I'm not sure if I should put them in the main paper or just leave them in the appendix. The main problem is that if I put them in the main section,I'll definitely exceed the page limit. I know this is a common practice in scientific magazines e.g. Nature, but I only saw this pattern in a few conference papers ... that's why I asked. | |

Exactly which things fit that category cannot be given in a guideline, and that's why you ask your advisor. | |
| Dec 27, 2020 at 6:54 | comment | added | Michel Gokan Khan | @BryanKrause "listen to your supervisor" is not a "guideline"... What would you have to say, if I hadn't written that "P.S" in my question? What if I'm the supervisor and asking this question? (or even a junior researcher outside academia with no supervisor) | |
| Dec 26, 2020 at 17:53 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | @Linker Yeah, the form of guidelines is mostly "listen to your supervisor" who has more experience. | |
| Dec 26, 2020 at 16:36 | comment | added | Michel Gokan Khan | @BryanKrause Exactly! the question is specifically about whether putting evaluation results in the appendix (considering the aforementioned criteria) is a good practice or not. Even though the topic is subjective in nature, I believe there should be some form of guidelines/best practices somewhere... | |
| Dec 26, 2020 at 8:18 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | @linker Yes I believe there are irresponsible supervisors, but this isn't an issue raised in your question here. Your question is about a specific manuscript design choice. Your supervisor isn't absent on this topic - in fact they have already weighed in with an opinion. Maybe it's not the kind of advice you are looking for but it seems like they are responding. | |
| Dec 25, 2020 at 22:44 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | @linker You're not completely on your own. You have a supervisor. I don't understand why you think you're in some different special case where Nicole Hamilton's advice doesn't apply. | |
| Dec 25, 2020 at 16:21 | comment | added | Michel Gokan Khan | Thanks for your insightful advice. I 100% agree with you and I think it's vital for junior researchers to learn how to effectively negotiate/communicate with all parties in a project (including their supervisor). I believe my case is a bit different though, as I'm currently completely on my own. | |

A lot of people think about that as, what do I want. But it's more important to identify what the person you're negotiating with wants and understand their reasons. In a partnership like the one you're in, you need to size up that you can't win this argument because it really is guided by experience. Give in gracefully and move on to the next item. | |
