@PhDtoProf The Research Project Compass can help fill these gaps early. Have your students give it a try, would love to hear about their experience using it. osf.io/preprints/edar…

I've examined 45+ PhD theses. I ask the same 10 questions every time. Most candidates stumble on question 3. Here they are and how to answer each one

@DrasmaJabeen1 @profwrpalacios The Research Project Compass can help provide this clarity also. Importantly, it helps catch errors in logic and inconsistencies when answering the 5Ws. Have your students give it a try osf.io/preprints/edar…

Have you addressed 5Ws and 1H for your research topic selection #research #researchtopic

@acagamic The Research Project Compass can help with this too. .. Have your students give it a try osf.io/preprints/edar…

Your research paper shouldn't take 6 months to outline. Most junior academics overcomplicate this process. Here's a simple lo-if mind map I've used:

@PhDtoProf Students who use the research project compass🧭 don't have this problem :) Check it out... osf.io/preprints/edar…

Most PhD supervisors will never tell you this. The real reason PhD students fail is not methodology. It's not data. It's that they never clearly identified a research gap

@olidnejad @ScholarshipfPhd There are 6 archetypes (not just 2). It depends on what the nature of the problem being addressed is.

@ScholarshipfPhd There are two stories. Story A = hypothesis/exploratory intent Story B = data-driven update

Most researchers collect data first, then wonder why nobody reads their papers. Start with the story. The data comes after.

@ScholarshipfPhd No matter which stage you're in, the research project compass can help find the throughline for your story. Template is at the end of the document: osf.io/preprints/edar…

For those of you #AcademicTwitter and #PhDLife folks who prefer long-form articles.

@justinskycak This is the most common issue I see in my classes. 'I studied so much, why didn't I do well on the exam?'

Lots of students study way more than necessary while simultaneously learning way less than necessary. They use low-effort, inefficient study techniques like re-reading and highlighting instead of just sucking it up and engaging in efficient retrieval practice and problem-solving. You can go for way longer when you're using a low-effort study method, while simultaneously learning way less.

@josiezayner Our institutional pedagogy is 'learn by doing'

Hands-on learning is so underrated Just go do the thing

@Faheem_uh What type of data is it analyzing? Titles? Abstracts?

How your field of research evolved over the years? Find out using these 3 simple steps. 1. Go to answerthis.io/home-2?fpr=fah… 2. Enter the prompt for research trend analysis e.g., 𝐴𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑧𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑-19 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡 4 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 3. @answerthisio will show you the research trends. The trend analysis is presented via graphs and charts 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝: ✦ Number of research publications each year ✦ Top 10 contributing countries to this research ✦ Average citation impact over time ✦ Research publications in sub-fields ✦ Evolution of sub-topics ✦ Quarterly publication patterns 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮: ➟ To understand how the research field evolved ➟ Where it is going forward ➟ How you can best contribute to the field

@acagamic Link to your system?

You're creating content the hard way. Stop grinding out posts one by one. Build systems that do the thinking for you. Templates that actually help. Processes that stack up over time. Smart creators automate the boring parts with AI, so they can focus on what matters.

@CuriousMindsHub Framework for thinking can facilitate learning critical thinking skills and understanding logic of research projects osf.io/preprints/edar…

Critical Thinking Skills.

@PhDtoProf Starting with the research project compass can save months later osf.io/preprints/edar…

My first PhD proposal was rejected before the committee finished page one. 3 minutes. That's how long it took them to say no. I'd spent 3 months writing what I thought was brilliant.

@ScholarshipfPhd Fill out the research project compass first and the statements write themselves! osf.io/preprints/edar…

How to Write a Rock-Solid Problem Statement in Research (Step-by-Step Guide) A problem statement is the heart of your research it tells readers why your work matters. Follow these 7 steps to craft one that’s clear, compelling, and impossible to ignore! - Thread-

@cblatts Can you give an example of a disclaimer?

Final section to all of my referee reports has an AI disclaimer where I talk about how I used AI, whether it’s to the polish up the prose that I narratively dictated into a markdown file, or supplement my research on substantive questions I had about issues within the paper, etc.

@RsrchRabbit The Research Project Compass can help also! osf.io/preprints/edar…

Literature reviews often leave you buried in long lists of papers with no sense of how it all fits together.

@PhD_Genie If you feel this way, you need the research project compass. osf.io/preprints/edar…

Can we agree on that?

@acagamic Also, would be curious if your students find the compass helpful for project on boarding and planning.

@Compass_RP Oh, I like this. I made a Research Question Canvas way back in the day: lennartnacke.com/how-to-develop…

What if you could ensure that you achieved this with a single sheet of paper? Research project compass to the rescue! osf.io/preprints/edar…

@acagamic I'll have to check it out!
