Consider Michael's first example: Research = Experiments + Publications.
Building confidence takes time, but as you start to amass a steady stream of successful experiments and publications, other people's attitudes and behaviours will matter less.
In academia, one example of this category would be the rule that 'Research equals experiments plus publications,' " Zigmond explained to his class in Aspen.
Over recent synchrotron experiments and publications we have developed methods for measuring the absorption coefficient far from the edge and in the XAFS (X-ray absorption fine structure) region in neutral atoms, simple compounds and organometallics reaching accuracies of below 0.02%.
However, the exact functional groups, their native at adsorption mechanism and site of bonding between various functional groups present and Ni II) are yet to be explored for better understanding of whole absorption process which will be surely an interesting objective in our future experiments and publications.
In 1990, after a $200,000 (estimated) government investment, 10,000 cups of coffee, 1000 packages of Top Ramen, three experiments, three publications, one thesis, and 9 years of graduate school, I found zero jobs in physics, and vanishing support from my advisor and colleagues.
No statistical method was used to pre-determine sample size; however, the sample size per experiment was based on our previous successful experiments and publications.
In addition, researchers can unambiguously formalize with Planform the details and results from their own experiments and publications and submit them for inclusion into the centralized database.
However, the authors should address the following concerns either by discussion or by additional experiments before publication is recommended.
