publishing

journals
often, given second chance – “resubmit with major changes”
selectivity varies greatly
long review cycle
archival
every PhD thesis should result in at least one journal publication
magazines
conferences
reviews

double-blind: only the chair knows the author identities

blind: author doesn't know reviewer but reviewer knows author identity

workshops
smaller, more focused than conferences
two kinds

no specific topic

topic-focused

technical reports (includig arXiv)
present additional details (simulation results, proofs, implementation details)

building blocks of research

Research elements are organized to create a workable research strategy
What kinds of evidence can demonstrate the validity of a result, and how are good results distinguished from bad ones?
What kinds of results help to answer these questions, and what research methods can produce these results?
What kinds of questions are "interesting"?
