Write an Impactful Research Paper
I have been reading Write an Impactful Research Paper by Martins Zaumanis. This is a fascinating book, while I am not a graduate or even doing post grad work, this book is really informative.
The author is sharing lots of really useful hints and tips from personal experience of publishing, There is a link to both the publisher and the book below.
I would recommend this book as part of your collection as there are also links to cheat sheets which when taken within the context of the book could be really useful. I say this as cheat sheets are a summary of what is in the book, so reading associated chapters does make sense.
As you are trying to get your research reviewed and published, then it is not worth cutting corners. You can print off the cheat sheets and display for reference.
If anyone is interested, then I can bring my copy to the STEM group, but if you want one, you need to buy your own.;

The reader must come first.
One of the main issues with science publications is that for most people they are inaccessible, at least in terms of their complexity. They are written for other scientists. This excludes people from the research, esp if the research is funded by taxes, so the very people who pay taxes, can't easily access the science.
This could be about to change. An Article in Science magazine looks at this issue and is suggesting that science papers must take the reader in to consideration.
Interesting stuff. Lets hope over time we can get more science to the people.

Collaboration with Overleaf
I attended the Overleaf Effective Collaboration webinar on Wednesday 20th May. This proved, once again to be very informative, useful and complements the other webinars nicely.
This webinar, specifically covered the features available to the different users of the system, the main difference with the free accounts includes the number of user who can collaborate and version history tracking.
I recently came across an excellent Overleaf curated article / report from 2017 on The Connected Culture of Collaboration Report
The document (pdf) can be downloaded free from the website and there is a citation guide too, if this is needed for your own articles or papers.
The webinar will be available on demand in due course.
