| | Measuring scientific prestige | Scientists compete. They compete for **prestige**, as measured by: \\ 1. Number of publications. \\ 2. Number of publications they are listed as first author on. \\ 3. Number of publications per year. \\ 4. Number of quotations by others to their work. \\ 5. Quality of publications that papers get published in. | | | Measuring scientific prestige | Scientists compete. They compete for **prestige**, as measured by: \\ 1. Number of publications. \\ 2.

| | Content |All the same information that appears in a scientific paper will typically have to appear in a research proposal. Additional material includes researchers' CV, financial plans, names of student researchers, and a description of where and how the research will be conducted. | | |
| | Application process |Find a 'call for proposals'. Carefully read the description. Note the proposal due date. Get the forms. Write the application, fill in the forms. Send everything in before the due date. Cross your fingers.| | |
| | H2020 Format | Main sections specified as Scientific Approach, Methodology, Beyond State-of-the-art, Workpackages; language: English | | |
| | Rannis format | Fairly specific; exact format grant-dependent; Language: English (but all require an Icelandic summary) | | |
| | If you get the grant |Congratulations! Now you must do the work and write progress reports, typically once per year.| | |

| | Step 6 | Conclusion 1, great! You're done. Your paper will be published as-is. \\ Conclusion 2: Use the reviews to improve your paper, send back to editor. Editor may request a shortlist of how you improved the paper. Your paper will be published with your changes. \\ Conclusion 3: You will need to do major work to improve the paper (e.g. more experiments or compare more algorithms or systems). Your paper will probably be reviewed by the same 3 reviewers. The editor may ask you for a shortlist of how you addressed the reviewers' concerns. | | | Step 6 | Conclusion 1, great! You're done.

| | Language quality | Nothing is as annoying as a good paper that falls flat on bad use of English (which, let's face it, is the language of science, at least until China overpowers us with Mandarin). Be brutal! Do not be nice to badly written papers. NB: There is always room for improvement in this regard. | | | Language quality | Nothing is as annoying as a good paper that falls flat on bad use of English (which, let's face it, is the language of science, at least until China overpowers us with Mandarin).
