Idk seems like the whole "write the damn paper and rework it until you're good" part is missing (It's just yet another loop of tantrum and sulk)

Bruh you still gotta publish that unsupported hypothesis

Is there a particular journal for this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

Hmmmmm if we can sell it to AI companies....

Nah, academics love their publication biases.

Wait, I mean journal publishers. Publishers love their publication biases.

Edit: I just remembered it was like 16 years ago I talked about this to a mentor. They wanted a FOSS solution for all those unpublished papers, but nobody ever bothered to put in that effort. A shame, really.

Lose interest doesn't seem to have enough connecting arrows

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Other than that, it seems fairly accurate.

there are several problems with this flow chart… question life choices, sulk… i’m wondering if this was ai generated

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't see that as a problem. I can easily get caught in that loop.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it bothers me because of my computer science background… flow charts should be pretty much executable, to me… other people can do whatever they want, i suppose.
but, you could have all of the loops with proper arrows and some decisions in there…

Ah, I see. You are thinking about the properly structured flowchart, not the humorously true one.

Yea, fair enough.

Where’s the inevitable desk reject after months of work?
