    I've written a lot recently (see: my book). This was the hardest thing to write, and perhaps the most important. Please read it, share it, and stand with me.

    One of my pet peeves is when reviewers say something like “I was not surprised by these results” or “these results were not surprising” as a criticism of the paper. You’re not at a magic show, it’s not my job to surprise you.

    Today in bizarre emails received and what is going on with science publishing. Wiley wants to charge me almost $1400 for using *my* photo as cover image for journal issue to help "promote my research"? No thanks! Anyone else familiar with this nonsense? Am I missing something?

    “Rather than counting up the number of times a professor’s articles have been cited...we should also be looking at how often the work is cited or used by students, practicing managers, policy-makers, and in articles...distributed to these stakeholders”

    Don't read too much into the h-index!

    With a few exceptions at the tails, the formula h-index = 0.5 * √∑(citations) holds with astonishing accuracy (96% correlation.) So let's not read too much into the h-index -- If you want it higher, just publish a lot of (better than average) papers.

    "Don’t underestimate the value of what you are doing. If you are practicing sound science, then you are doing something worthwhile."

    This is a wonderfully thoughtful paper by John Smol of Queen's University, published in Ideas in Ecology & Evolution. PDF --> Good read for early career scientists (but really anyone!).
