thats what i was thinking too

Journal paper accepted! (one more still stuck in the pipeline though)

[Cogglamp]

Because I'm tired of "Dk solo x" "10 Dk vs x" ... I bring you

Fireland HM vs 10 paladin (first world?)

World order has finally been restored. Well done.

Gratz! What journal?

Gratz! What journal?

Physical Review B - it's where the group I post-doc'd submitted most of our work (material structure/thermodynamics/kinetics subtopic). Took me a bit longer to get this second one in than the first I did with the group though (going off to a job does that )

Sure does. I still have a PRL that needs to be written, the bulk of the work having been done over a year ago. Though a good chunk of it is in the PRA from March.

the short format of PRLs and the rapid communications make em tough, from what I've heard, never wrote one myself. Though as I understand getting one accepted looks really good on a CV because it usually means you've done something big and exciting

And yeah, I think the time-scale for getting some of these things in the pipe and finished can really get crazy. Physics journals are better than the engineering ones I published in during grad school though - one had a turnaround time of like 6 months to a year. Though getting an email from a grad student asking about the specifics of a derivation I did about 5-6 years ago (published it about then too), on a topic I haven't worked with in about 4 years, was... interesting (read: I found the paper then scratched my head for like an hour trying to remember where I came up with something )

It really depends on the journal, and in many cases, the reviewers. Phys Rev is usually pretty fast. I've had other papers waiting for a month or two on a reviewer.

I still get e-mails regarding my Science paper, but usually only one a year or so. Luckily I still feel pretty competent about that material, even 6 years later. I can only hope that it remains that way after 6 years of inactivity on the subject, though.

Oooo... Science. I haven't done anything nearly cool enough to end up there.

Bingo.

Bingo.

Experience, my dear.

Heroic Hand of Morchok: check
Heroic Blackhorn shield: check

Not a bad haul imo

[Hespherus]

No SD dropped for you in that many weeks? Grats on the shield though.
