Publish a paper about a contribution already briefly outlined in one of my papers?

Reusing a codebook/technique in a new publication

As an analogy, psychologists routinely use the same questionnaire over and over again. (As just one example, take Beck's Depression Inventory.) These are well established in the literature, and nobody …

Submitting paper to lower tier journal instead of doing major revision at higher tier journal

Beware that your proposed course of action can backfire. That lower tier journal that you submit to instead of addressing the reviewers' concerns may very well invite the very same reviewers as the or …

Change an equation during the proofing stage of an accepted paper

This kind of typo is usually absolutely fixable in the proof stage. Just point it out like any other typo. Good on you to read your proofs carefully enough to find it!

Should I include the article I co-authored in my resume?

Academics typically have a subsection "publications", possibly even as a separate document. Especially if you have been around for a while, this can become quite long. … However, at the beginning of your academic career, it might make sense to have it as a subsection of your "general" CV, unless wherever you submit it requests a separate list of publications. …

Is writing papers with a complex statistical methodology worth it?

Are PhDs always obligated to stay involved in research, even after graduation?

Even if you graduate without publications, that is still better than quitting 80% through. Finishing the Ph.D. shows that you persist in face of difficulties. That is a valuable skill. …

Do references in the research papers' state of the art section need to be referred in chrono...

Typically, "the state of the art" is not monolithic. Rather, it consists of multiple strands or aspects. If your paper addresses the application of technique foo to problem bar, then "the state of the …

Publishing in a field that I am not an expert in

I agree with the consensus in the comments: you really should try to collaborate with an expert in Machine Learning (or, as I would really recommend, in statistics, but I'm biased). On the one hand, a …

"Decision in process" after the median number of days from submission meaning

What are some methods to find a research gap?

Offers to include my published paper in an open access book?

Be very careful about this. Many such emails are automated spam: people automatically scrape recently published papers and automatically generate such "invitation" emails. This mainly tries to get you …

Journal editor demands changes to article published online two years ago

I would agree that this is strange. For one, a rewrite of this scope would invalidate all the reviews. Of course, as is often emphasized on this site and elsewhere, the editor can basically disregard …
