About The Scopus Diaries
About The Scopus Diaries: How can academics cope with the 1000+ of tasks they are expected to perform at work? Based on the author’s experience and stories collected from five continents, this book is intended to change the way readers understand academia and live their academic careers.
This guide has been conceived as a guide to advise early career researchers (but also anyone interested in reflecting critically about what they do and why they do it) on the decisions they need to make to consolidate in academia while remaining healthy.
The book is organized around seven general topics: Writing, Publishing, Growing, Shining, Niching, Networking, Funding for which questions are asked and short answers (1-2 pages) are provided.
Please note that I have chosen “Ibidem” as publishing house because they agreed to sell the e-book at 5.99 (on sale at kobo if you are resident in the EU https://www.kobo.com) and the paperback at 19.90 (on sale on Ibidem website https://www.ibidem.eu/en/the-scopus-diaries-and-the-il-logics-of-academic-survival.html) so to keep it accessible to everyone.
