Course schedule
From Research management course
This course introduces the technologies of scientific research. It teaches students how to present their results in the anticipated format. It results in a research paper that should be submitted to a reputable peer-reviewed journal.
Goals
- General: to learn how to convey the author's message to the reader in a clear way.
- Practical: to publish a scientific paper, to be welcome in the research society.
Delivery
- Research paper in a peer-reviewed scientific journal
- Computational experiment with analysis and code to reproduce it
- Slides with brief comprehensive results
- Video of the presentation speech
Schedule 2023
Date | N | To be done | Result to discuss | Symbol | |
February | 9 | 1 | Introduction and subscription. | List of participants. | Subscribed to the schedule |
16 | 2 | Select your project and tell about it. List references, write Abstract, LinkReview. | Abstract, Introduction, References in bib-file. | Abstract, LinkReview, B*egin-talk | |
23 | 3 | State your problem, generally in Introduction and formally | Write the problem statement, and write the basic algorithm description. | Introduction with References, Problem statement | |
March | 4 | 4 | Set goals and plan report of your computational experiment. Run basic code. Write down the results. | Goals of the experiment. Basic code, a draft report on the basic algorithm. Ready for the first checkpoint. | eXperiment palning, Basic code, Report, cHeck-1 |
9 | 5 | Run your computational experiment and visualize its results. | Code, visual presentation of results. Create a draft of your presentation for 1'30". | Code, Visualization, O*ne slide-talk | |
16 | 6 | Describe the algorithm. | The theory and algorithms are in the paper. | Theory | |
23 | 7 | Make the error and quality analysis. Finalize the computational experiment. | The experiment description with error analysis. | Error | |
April | 2 | 8 | Prepare for the reader the theoretical part and computational experiment. Explain the figures, and write conclusions. Ready to the second checkpoint. | The paper draft with the sections Computational experiment and Conclusions. Checkpoint. | Document, cHeck-2, M*edium-talk |
9 | 9 | Your paper is ready to the peer-review. | You published your peer review of your colleague's paper. | RevieW | |
16 | 10 | Finalization. Collect all necessary documents: author's affiliations, review, response, English abstract, references for catalogs, and letter to the editor. | The paper and slides are subjects to submit. | Journal, Slide-check | |
23 | 11 | Prepare your presentation. | Presentation day. | Final show |
Consultations
- The workflow goes around each week, namely, week 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
- The iterative consultations and delivery of results are highly welcome! Start during the weekends.
- Deadline for the last version is Wednesday 6:00 am. The review goes on Wednesday's working day.
- Each symbol A gives +1 according the system (А-, А, А+). No symbol gives A0.
Workload
- Student's workload depends on the group and can vary from 54 hours and up.
- A consultant is expected to make one-hour meetings weekly and promptly to student's questions. So it takes 12 to 16 hours.
- An expert is expected to state the problem and evaluate the delivery. It takes one-hour maximum. And we guess researchers are ready to discuss their favorite problems. It creates a negative workload: for a problem the expert solves as a daily routine, some delivery appears after several months of synchronized work. The quality of the stated problem matters.
