How about we stop working for free? Just this month I was invited to review five new submissions from three different journals. I understand that we have an important role in improving the quality of science being published (specially during COVID times), but isn’t it unfair that we do all the work and these companies get all the money? Honestly, I feel like it’s passed time we start refusing to review articles without minimum compensation from these for-profit journals.

I just turned down a review invitation for an Elsevier journal on account of it being an Elsevier journal.
|
You should feel free to turn down a request to review if you aren’t interested in the topic. That’s how I decide what to review - whether or not I actually want to read the paper. It won’t hurt your tenure case if you occasionally say no.

I'm with you OP. I'm particularly annoyed at one journal that asked me to review about a week before the pandemic 'hit' and then sent annoying e-mail reminders every 2 weeks until I sent the review (despite me e-mailing them back the first time saying I couldn't review while providing full time childcare and inviting them to find an alternative reviewer if they couldn't wait). I think I'm at the point where I'm going to do my own boycott of journal reviewing. (Up to now I've reviewed around 3 times as many papers as I've published and the majority of journals in my subject have 1, or 2, reviewers so I'm "up".) I'll make exceptions for massive breakthroughs or work of students/postdocs who really need it.

I flunked someone for plagiarism. I just discovered they hired a PI to investigate me. Does anyone have experience with this? I’m in a tenure track position in the social sciences at a school in the Midwest. Last semester, I flunked a student for plagiarizing part of a paper (it was a clear case of copy and paste from an obscure source). The student did not take it well. Things are winding their way through the administrative process. It has come to my attention that this disgruntled student has apparently hired a private investigator to follow me and look into my life. I feel extremely violated. However, it has unfortunately also come to my attention that this PI has learned that I am in an open relationship. I suspect this would not be well received by my department and would likely jeopardize my ability to get tenure. It has been strongly implied that details of my personal relationship will be leaked to the department unless I stop pursuing internal discipline against the student. However, it’s not clear to me that I could stop the proceedings even if I wanted to. What exactly am I supposed to do in this situation?

This will sound harsh and unpopular, but grow some backbone and stand for your way of life. If this is frowned upon by a place you spend over 8 hours each weekday, you're in the wrong spot and you're supporting a system that undermines something you value a lot. It's difficult to do this, given you might have to provide for a family and run the risk of losing job security, but if the alternative is to live a lie for a third of your life, the choice seems easy to me.

This is nuts >I am in an open relationship. I suspect this would not be well received by my department and would likely jeopardize my ability to get tenure. This is nuts-er. Why would "being in an open relationship" sabotage your tenure bid? Is your spouse on the committee/the dean and they just don't know your relationship is "open" yet? Is it an ultrareligious school? Because those are the only 2 reasons I can think of? --- Also, the way to get out in front of blackmail - if you can - is to not be blackmailable. Which is tell the department in an open meeting that "someone is trying to harm me by threatening to reveal tis fact which I have absolutely no problems with".

Is being in an open relationship against the terms of your contract? Regardless of whether it's right or wrong...if it's in your contract, it's in your contract. All-else considered, the school should protect you from this. You were literally doing your job. However, it sounds like this student comes from a fairly wealthy family...and money talks to universities as we've seen in the media recently. Just in case the school does not take your side...I'd lawyer-up immediately. Also might be time to throw your resume around to some colleagues at other institutions.

I would go to a lawyer first. I'd ask the lawyer if I could file both criminal and civil charges and sue the student into next week. They'll probably say no which is disappointing because I'd want to nail that little shit to the wall. One thing you may find the lawyer actually doing for you is filing a restraining order against the student. I'd also be sure to ask the lawyer when to include the dean and the senior leadership at the school. Adding a threat and attempted blackmail to the disciplinary process might just get the kid expelled. Now I know there are some states where the LGBT status is a non-protected status which is what I'm assuming you're talking about, my brother's boyfriend was fired for being Gay at a school in New Hampshire. So yes there is a risk. If the student is willing to go to all of this trouble there is a real risk of violence, either by them or by someone they paid when things don't go their way. This is not something to take lightly. You need help.

No advice beyond that given, but just want to express solidarity. Who are these supposed academics who don't understand that your university doesn't need to fire you - they just need to quietly deny you tenure for a plausible reason, which at your university may be the code of conduct. I don't think there's anything wrong with you for wanting to keep your job, even at the (incredible personal) cost of placating one shithead student who would probably have been acquitted by the system anyway even if he raped or killed someone. I hope you figure this out.

This is horrible, I feel for you. One thing you need to consider is that you have no proof the student would stop blackmailing you if you stopped the proceedings. Actually they have proven that they're very vengeful and they're ready to cheat and break the law, so it's quite possible they would tell the department about your relationship even if you decided to bow to their demands. Anyway it would probably look suspicious to your department if you suddenly decided to change your mind about the student after you provided evidence of their plagiarism. Now what can the student do? If the student goes to the department with the evidence they got from the PI, they'll look exactly like what they are, a cheater who tried to blackmail a professor for doing something that's not against the law. If I were in your department, I'd be pretty disgusted at someone who would invade a professor's privacy like that. Defending the student would mean admitting that blackmailing staff is ok. This is not the image the University wants to have. You, on the other hand, did your job like you were supposed to. Now, one way or another, you're in an unfortunate situation where it's likely that your department will learn about your relationship. You need to mitigate damage. I don't know your department, and it's easy for me to talk as I'm not the one to suffer the consequences, but it seems that the best way to do this would not be to fall to blackmail. If you trust your colleagues to have a bit of decency, you'll have a better outcome telling the student to f... off and coming clear if you need to.

It has come to my attention that this disgruntled student has apparently hired a private investigator to follow me and look into my life. I feel extremely violated. However, it has unfortunately also come to my attention that this PI has learned that I am in an open relationship. I suspect this would not be well received by my department and would likely jeopardize my ability to get tenure. It has been strongly implied that details of my personal relationship will be leaked to the department unless I stop pursuing internal discipline against the student. However, it’s not clear to me that I could stop the proceedings even if I wanted to. What exactly am I supposed to do in this situation?

Is being in an open relationship against the terms of your contract? Regardless of whether it's right or wrong...if it's in your contract, it's in your contract. All-else considered, the school should protect you from this. You were literally doing your job. However, it sounds like this student comes from a fairly wealthy family...and money talks to universities as we've seen in the media recently. Just in case the school does not take your side...I'd lawyer-up immediately. Also might be time to throw your resume around to some colleagues at other institutions.
|
This is horrible, I feel for you. One thing you need to consider is that you have no proof the student would stop blackmailing you if you stopped the proceedings. Actually they have proven that they're very vengeful and they're ready to cheat and break the law, so it's quite possible they would tell the department about your relationship even if you decided to bow to their demands. Anyway it would probably look suspicious to your department if you suddenly decided to change your mind about the student after you provided evidence of their plagiarism. Now what can the student do? If the student goes to the department with the evidence they got from the PI, they'll look exactly like what they are, a cheater who tried to blackmail a professor for doing something that's not against the law. If I were in your department, I'd be pretty disgusted at someone who would invade a professor's privacy like that. Defending the student would mean admitting that blackmailing staff is ok. This is not the image the University wants to have. You, on the other hand, did your job like you were supposed to. Now, one way or another, you're in an unfortunate situation where it's likely that your department will learn about your relationship. You need to mitigate damage. I don't know your department, and it's easy for me to talk as I'm not the one to suffer the consequences, but it seems that the best way to do this would not be to fall to blackmail. If you trust your colleagues to have a bit of decency, you'll have a better outcome telling the student to f... off and coming clear if you need to.

Do you also happen to get sad because you simply will never have enough time to get the knowledge you want to? I was wondering if other people also get kind of sad because it is simply impossible to have enough time to learn everything you actually wanted to learn by a certain age/stage in life. Like idk, completing that list of books with important authors in your field which gets longer and longer while keeping up with the recent findings in your field. Or learning that additional programming language or further practicing the one your familiar with. Or learning one more additional language. And all of that on top of the workload you already have. Sometimes that makes me really sad because there are just so many things I am interested in and curious about but the more I study the things the longer the list of things I want to learn more about gets. Idk if you can relate but I just wanted to share this and I would be really interested to see what you think about this!

I never thought about it but now that you mentioned it... Yess!!! Its kind of like when you read a review paper and they cite many other original research papers, and you wanna get through all of them but you dont have the time to do so. When you do attempt to get through them, you find yourself going down a rabbit hole. One paper leads to 10 other papers and each of the 10 papers lead you to another 10 papers... IT NEVER ENDS!! Then the timer goes off, you gotta run back to the lab to change whatever solution you've got your tissue incubating in. And those papers that you've found will be left as tabs on your browser, never looked at again (but never closed too). Until one day, your computer freezes up and you gotta force shutdown your computer.

I had this feeling when I was in grad school. Now, it's more that I'll never have time in this life to create all the things I want to: books, games, etc., that will never see the light of day. OTOH, that means I'll never be bored. I'll never run out of things to learn, do, and try. I try to keep my focus on that side.

No. As soon as you realise the depth of our lack of understanding of the details of everything, it is immediately apparent you will never be an expert in everything. There are people who spend life times mastering individual skills and areas of study. The days of being able to know everything about everything that was known died out - literally - thousands of years ago. So, you can sit and feel sad about it, or you can accept it and get on with doing what you can do. And - if you want a productive career in academia - that means you also need to give yourself peace and time to develop new knowledge and learn. There are tens of thousands of scientists working in related fields to all of us. Either we can spend our lives reading every minuscule byte of related information, or we can get ourselves to a working knowledge of a niche and try and contribute. I'm totally accepting and content with the idea that I will never be able to read lots of interesting things. Because the trade off is that I get to do lots of interesting and new things. The idea that you might get sad at not being able to read all the things feels a bit too close to the mentality of wanting to passively learn rather than actively do research (i.e. the step change between undergrad and grad education). Because you could always be reading someone else's work rather than doing your own.

The days of being able to know everything about everything that was known died out - literally - thousands of years ago. So, you can sit and feel sad about it, or you can accept it and get on with doing what you can do. And - if you want a productive career in academia - that means you also need to give yourself peace and time to develop new knowledge and learn. There are tens of thousands of scientists working in related fields to all of us. Either we can spend our lives reading every minuscule byte of related information, or we can get ourselves to a working knowledge of a niche and try and contribute. I'm totally accepting and content with the idea that I will never be able to read lots of interesting things. Because the trade off is that I get to do lots of interesting and new things. The idea that you might get sad at not being able to read all the things feels a bit too close to the mentality of wanting to passively learn rather than actively do research (i.e. the step change between undergrad and grad education). Because you could always be reading someone else's work rather than doing your own.

Do you also happen to get sad because you simply will never have enough time to get the knowledge you want to? I was wondering if other people also get kind of sad because it is simply impossible to have enough time to learn everything you actually wanted to learn by a certain age/stage in life. Like idk, completing that list of books with important authors in your field which gets longer and longer while keeping up with the recent findings in your field. Or learning that additional programming language or further practicing the one your familiar with. Or learning one more additional language. And all of that on top of the workload you already have. Sometimes that makes me really sad because there are just so many things I am interested in and curious about but the more I study the things the longer the list of things I want to learn more about gets. Idk if you can relate but I just wanted to share this and I would be really interested to see what you think about this!

I will provide a dissenting opinion - I haven’t felt like that, primarily because my mental health problems cause me to just be happy I made it to the next day - my brain is filled with too much to worry about this. Also, I still have a lot of time to learn things anyways, though I never felt a need to know everything.

What's even stranger, is learning your professors, who are at the top of their field and extremely knowledgeable, are subject to the same lack of knowledge, because they simply forget. The reason why they keep telling us to read their articles, is because they wrote it down so they wouldn't have to remember. If they've since moved on in subject matter, they may not remember much of what they wrote. This is as true for us as it is for them. So with that understood, I've come to terms that the project of the the graduate thesis (and by extension academia), is the fine art of IDENTIFYING and WRITING only that which you are able to know. You can't know everything, so writing around what you know and don't know becomes the skill. Sorta like when I told my gf when she started a new job at a maddeningly byzantine organization: sometimes the meta-job IS the job.

I had such good intentions when I started my PhD that I was going to finally fully understand statistics. Now I’m at the data analysis stage and I’ve just got to do the stuff without fully understanding how the maths behind it works.

You can only do what you can do. As philosophers and songwriters have observed, no one gets out alive. There is no official checklist to complete for the academic career roleplaying game. Despite all the cliches, life really is a journey and not a destination. Whatever you choose to focus on, make it count. On that journey wherever it takes you, try to make every one else's journey a little better.

I feel a lot of anxiety related to this. I also get very anxious about the need to circumscribe whatever it is I'm writing to a reasonable, cogent "message" – I keep seeing holes in everything I write and wanting to fix them. I mean, some of those gaps must be dealt with, but you also just have to say enough at times and leave things for the next paper/dissertation/presentation.

Like, there’s an ocean of cool stuff I could do, and fully accept that I will never be able to experience it all, but I will experience as much of it as I can, and enjoy it while I do so! And if I stop enjoying it, I’ll go try a different piece of ocean!

I was wondering if other people also get kind of sad because it is simply impossible to have enough time to learn everything you actually wanted to learn by a certain age/stage in life. Like idk, completing that list of books with important authors in your field which gets longer and longer while keeping up with the recent findings in your field. Or learning that additional programming language or further practicing the one your familiar with. Or learning one more additional language. And all of that on top of the workload you already have. Sometimes that makes me really sad because there are just so many things I am interested in and curious about but the more I study the things the longer the list of things I want to learn more about gets. Idk if you can relate but I just wanted to share this and I would be really interested to see what you think about this!

Me every single day. I feel stupid all the time. In my field. But i know I’m not that stupid maybe (?)

What's even stranger, is learning your professors, who are at the top of their field and extremely knowledgeable, are subject to the same lack of knowledge, because they simply forget. The reason why they keep telling us to read their articles, is because they wrote it down so they wouldn't have to remember. If they've since moved on in subject matter, they may not remember much of what they wrote. This is as true for us as it is for them. So with that understood, I've come to terms that the project of the the graduate thesis (and by extension academia), is the fine art of IDENTIFYING and WRITING only that which you are able to know. You can't know everything, so writing around what you know and don't know becomes the skill. Sorta like when I told my gf when she started a new job at a maddeningly byzantine organization: sometimes the meta-job IS the job.

I feel a lot of anxiety related to this. I also get very anxious about the need to circumscribe whatever it is I'm writing to a reasonable, cogent "message" – I keep seeing holes in everything I write and wanting to fix them. I mean, some of those gaps must be dealt with, but you also just have to say enough at times and leave things for the next paper/dissertation/presentation.

Yep, this is pretty much how I feel all the time. No matter how much I learn, there will always be so much I will never be able to learn if only because the limits of life expectancy. But I'll be damned if I don't try to fit in as much as I can in the mean time!

I will provide a dissenting opinion - I haven’t felt like that, primarily because my mental health problems cause me to just be happy I made it to the next day - my brain is filled with too much to worry about this. Also, I still have a lot of time to learn things anyways, though I never felt a need to know everything.

I know the feeling you are talking about, but I try to see it as a positive! Like, there’s an ocean of cool stuff I could do, and fully accept that I will never be able to experience it all, but I will experience as much of it as I can, and enjoy it while I do so! And if I stop enjoying it, I’ll go try a different piece of ocean!

You can only do what you can do. As philosophers and songwriters have observed, no one gets out alive. There is no official checklist to complete for the academic career roleplaying game. Despite all the cliches, life really is a journey and not a destination. Whatever you choose to focus on, make it count. On that journey wherever it takes you, try to make every one else's journey a little better.

Also, I still have a lot of time to learn things anyways, though I never felt a need to know everything.

Do you also happen to get sad because you simply will never have enough time to get the knowledge you want to? I was wondering if other people also get kind of sad because it is simply impossible to have enough time to learn everything you actually wanted to learn by a certain age/stage in life. Like idk, completing that list of books with important authors in your field which gets longer and longer while keeping up with the recent findings in your field. Or learning that additional programming language or further practicing the one your familiar with. Or learning one more additional language. And all of that on top of the workload you already have. Sometimes that makes me really sad because there are just so many things I am interested in and curious about but the more I study the things the longer the list of things I want to learn more about gets. Idk if you can relate but I just wanted to share this and I would be really interested to see what you think about this!

I know the feeling you are talking about, but I try to see it as a positive! Like, there’s an ocean of cool stuff I could do, and fully accept that I will never be able to experience it all, but I will experience as much of it as I can, and enjoy it while I do so! And if I stop enjoying it, I’ll go try a different piece of ocean!

I feel a lot of anxiety related to this. I also get very anxious about the need to circumscribe whatever it is I'm writing to a reasonable, cogent "message" – I keep seeing holes in everything I write and wanting to fix them. I mean, some of those gaps must be dealt with, but you also just have to say enough at times and leave things for the next paper/dissertation/presentation.

Like idk, completing that list of books with important authors in your field which gets longer and longer while keeping up with the recent findings in your field. Or learning that additional programming language or further practicing the one your familiar with. Or learning one more additional language. And all of that on top of the workload you already have. Sometimes that makes me really sad because there are just so many things I am interested in and curious about but the more I study the things the longer the list of things I want to learn more about gets. Idk if you can relate but I just wanted to share this and I would be really interested to see what you think about this!

I will provide a dissenting opinion - I haven’t felt like that, primarily because my mental health problems cause me to just be happy I made it to the next day - my brain is filled with too much to worry about this. Also, I still have a lot of time to learn things anyways, though I never felt a need to know everything.

I know the feeling you are talking about, but I try to see it as a positive! Like, there’s an ocean of cool stuff I could do, and fully accept that I will never be able to experience it all, but I will experience as much of it as I can, and enjoy it while I do so! And if I stop enjoying it, I’ll go try a different piece of ocean!

I do, many times I wish I could have born atleast 1000 years afterwords. But we dont know what will happen the next moment and what will change in a blink of an eye. So I think that it doesn't matter, as long as I am alive, I can learn as much as possible. Sometimes I do think we have enough time to atleast obtsin a phd in the field we desire and to contribute to few years of research and we never know what we can discover or invent in the process. It all boils down to how well we use the time we have...
