I have done MCA and now I am working as a software developer. I want to open my start-up, actually I tried it but for the lack of good team I had to shut it down. I tried to took opinion from my friend some are saying work in industry for 3 - 4 years and then go for it. some are saying you can do it now. being more specific
I have completed my bachelors in computer science and now iam doing job as software developer.During my 4 years stay at the university i was an average student and concentrated more on theory to pass the exams and less on practical work(like properly understanding the architecture of computer,computer programming etc).One reason was that i was a bit slow then some of my other classmates to grab the concepts taught in class.And therefore i had to spend more time understanding them when i came back home.
Some problems with me regarding practical work now are that whenever i stuck in some problem(for example some programming error etc) i usually find it very difficult to solve it and take much more time then other people to get it done.As it is happening with me now at my job. I feel like iam not a computer guy. Because even after studying 4 years degree iam not a good problem solver.I like to study computer things but iam just unable to solve technical issues.
So my question is that should i pursue ms in computer science and work more hard and try to overcome my weaknesses or should i take admission in masters in some business program which a more theory oriented and non technical field.
Iam quite worried about my future so ur help will be appreciated.
PS: "and please dont say why didnt i left this bachelors in computer science when i knew i was weak in solving technical problems.Because i cant do anything now the degree is completed".
In a scientific journal paper, when something is briefly discussed in one section (e.g., Introduction) and want to say it is further discussed in the discussion section (which is usually the last section of the main text), which one is more appropriate? Or are there other standards? Discussion section here is just an example and could be any other section (e.g., Materials and Methods).
... is further discussed in the Discussion
... is further discussed in Discussion

I'd like to cite the following articles from the Nature Publishing Group, but no authors are mentioned (as far as I can tell):
However, it's likely that it was written by one (or more) of Nature's editors. If, for example, I am using the BibTeX formatting system, how should I describe the author of the article? For example:
1. author={Nature} 2. author={Nature Publishing Group} 3. author={anonymous} 4. author={}
Or should I leave it blank (option 4)?
I am a math grad student who has completed the qualifying exams within my first two years. Lately, I have been taking a few non-core courses, which allows me to put most of my time on my own research. In one of these non-core courses, I received a low grade: B-. I certainly have the a good Cumulative Grade Point Average: 3.9 -- well above what is required for "normal progress".
Question: How important/serious is getting a grade below 3.0 in this one course at this point in a PhD program? Any feedback is much appreciated.
i am working in one college as an assistant professor in department of computer science and engineering in India. i have 10 years experience of teaching. i want to ask a question. can i take the G.R.E exam for P.hd in computer science. i did Master of computer science with 76%.
i have M.Sc.(computer science) degree with 76% . so with this percentage can i plan to give GRE exam or tofel for phd from outside india? am i eligible?
I am an academic with hoping for an offer at an oceania university. I want to know how common in this system to ask the university to give my spouse a job? It is common and often successful in the US universities, but I don't know in the oceania (which is the same as the British) system. Thanks, John
Anyone familiar with the turn around time for article submissions in Spatial Economic Analysis?
I just started my master's in computer science, and I started working on a research project with one of my professors last term as a part of a class project for his class. In relation to that project he has asked me to help him review a paper that is being reviewed to determine whether it will be accepted or rejected to a conference. I have agreed to review the paper. However, I have never written this type of paper review before. What are the steps you go through in reviewing a paper to determine if it should be accepted or rejected ?
I have just finished my bachelor degree with honours in Australia. While being sad of not getting first class honours, i am wondering how good/bad is a 2.1 honours degree in Pure mathematics. My honours supervisor suggests me to take something like a Research by master then i can proceed to PHD.
Is it possible to get into M.Phil in Pure mathematics? (In some good university.)
I'm currently writing a paper on a certain topic for which a review article was recently published. Of course, I want to contrast my new approach to existing techniques. For that purpose, I have identified the relevant prior work with the help of the above-mentioned review article.
The thing is, in my current version, I simply take the whole block of citations from the review article with no change at all. Would that be considered plagiarism? I have consulted each reference individually and they do seem appropriate for citation.
I'm following a distance learning program at the University of London. The course is related to computer science and all of the documents, courses and presentations are offered on an electronic platform. Recently, I found out that the exam we have to take is paper and pen. I've not received a set of reasons on why this is done.
For me personally, I prefer to answer questions using a computer, it's easier to edit or restructure an answer after you have written it down. Also my handwriting looks terrible and I need to put in extra effort to ensure everything is legible as I have lost marks on paper exams before due to my handwriting (I've not written anything long on paper since my Bsc 3 years ago).I understand that, if you need to write it on paper, you are required to think more about the answer before putting it down.
For the university, it would seem more practical to collect all of the exams, rather than having to mail or fax them, risking loss in the process.
I'm trying to understand what other reasons there might be that this is done as it seems a bit "outdated" to me.
I plan to pursue my master degree in EU and currently still mulling over which program is the best for me:
My undergrad major was Mechanical Engineering (M.E.), and I happen to be specialized in manufacturing and automation technology.
After examining both programs' courses in details, I suppose Delft's courses seems to be more holistic since it covers M.E subjects in general with focus on Control engineering, which can be applied in manufacturing process while RTWH Aachen's is entirely focused and prefer practical approach to design and manufacturing.
I'm aware Delft is ranked higher internationally (e.g more prominence in research publication), but then again Germany is classically renowned for its engineering field. Both university are similarly ranked when it has come to Mechanical Engineering field.
Other factors I consider important:
I am a non EU resident so international outlook would be most welcomed.
Please let me know if I should rephrase my question to follow Academia standard.
There was a master student who was supervised by a lecturer for his dissertation. They also decided to write and submitted a paper, whose first author was the master student, based on the dissertation. The paper is accepted but it also creates an issue about who should go and present it since there is enough funding for only one person to go to the conference.
The master student wants to go as he is the first author and did most of the work. On the other hand, the lecturer wants to go for networking purposes, e.g. meet other reseachers and find potential collaboration. Moreover, he also reasons that as the student is about to graduate and won't work in academia anymore, it does not have much benefit to fund him to go to the conference.
My question is that whether the lecturer's decision is reasonable.
I am in my final year of my undergraduate games development course and so for part of my final year project (which involved making a game of course) I have to do a written report which needs to include references as appropriate. In the past when I showed my supervisor some of what I had done one of the things he zeroed in on as being something that should be tagged with a reference to something is my declaration that the game is "turn-based", and also my mention of RPGs when talking about existing games with similar systems.
I've tried Googling around a bit, mostly on Google Scholar, but I've yet to find anything suitable. I'm just looking for some things giving a good outline/definition of what constitutes a "turn-based game" and similarly an RPG. As I mentioned in the title it doesn't necessarily have to be a paper, so long as it provides what I need.
I have recently been comparing publishers regarding their policies on double dipping (charging an open-access fee for publishing in a hybrid journal and then charging again a subscription fee). Many publishers (Springer, Wiley, Taylor and Francis) state they lower the subscription fees based on the amount of open-access articles to not charge their authors / readers / customers twice for the same article.
Elsevier has a different approach. They state:
Elsevier's policy is not to charge subscribers for open access articles and when calculating subscription prices only to take into account subscription articles – we do not double dip.
[source]
But how is this implemented? The Elsevier support team was of no help when I asked there. I only got links to the help pages, which I have read forwards and backwards three times already. I even created an account and started a test submission to two of their hybrid journals but there wasn’t even a box to tick for selecting Open Access.
Has anyone made use of this policy and asked for a waiver based on a journal subscription?
is it correct to express PhD in brackets "(PhD)" as suffix to express the ongoing degree.
I am reviewing a paper that quite heavily builds upon work that has only been published in Russian and Romanian, which are languages I (unfortunately) do no speak. Therefore it is quite difficult for me to assess how this new work builds upon this previous work.
This work was submitted for an English-speaking venue in which normally all papers only reference papers in English. At first glance, the venue only request the actual paper to be in English, but makes no mention about related work.
How to proceed?
I met briefly with a professor last year and showed him a poster of my work which was not good at that time (It was some sort of a presentation in which we show our work and research). Then I decided to apply for a PhD so I emailed him and he told me to apply. I knew that he will be coming to the same presentation this year so I emailed him again saying that might be an opportunity to talk in person. He never returned my email. That was two months ago. Ten days ago I was rejected from that university (I guess he made the decision). Yesterday, I presented my work in front of the whole audience which was much better than the one I presented last year (Even though I was rejected, I tried to impress him). I didn't talk to him directly then. Just now he viewed my profile on linkedin (Which he did multiple times previously awhile back).
Does it make sense to follow up now? At to least know why I was rejected and why the sudden interest just after my presentation? I know it is very difficult, but would it even be possible to flip the rejection into admission now if he decided to?
I am an electrical and electronical engineering engineering last year student.
I think I will have 2.2 GPA
Can I will do master at USA about electrical engineering or MBA
