Proposal Writing – its tedious!
Process will be long, but worth it Typically takes on the order of weeks to a
few months Dependent upon the duration of the proposal call
you are after Will take several iterations to get things as
perfectly written as possible. Know your audience and your limitations
i.e., balance showing what you know and what would be common sense to the review board
Do not try to propose more work than you can handle

Outlining the Proposal Dependent upon page limitations Should have the following

Proposal sent in, what’s next
Waiting is the hardest part… This can take several months to up to a
year in some cases Need to be proactive if you have not
heard from the funding organization to touch base and see how far along your proposal is in the system
The review Constructive criticism will be provided
when your proposal returns Be prepared to trim your budget

Experiences Writing Journal Articles
Key points when writing a journal article are: Targeting the correct journal
Audience, budget, turn around period Is this research new and contributive
to the science? How much content should we
provide? 1 article vs 2?
What are the authors we should include? What order?
What format will you write your article in? Is there a template? e.g., Word, LaTeX, etc.AMS:

Handling Reviews
Reviewers will be critical of you work, so what is the best way to handle critical reviews?
How do I go about responding to reviews?
What time frame can I expect the re-reviews to come back?

Review Examples I have received/seen…
This is a great paper, but here are several things that are still missing.
After careful consideration I regret to inform you that your topic does not present a significant enough advance in geophysics for this journal. Did not even get to reviewers in this case
Two of the reviewers accept work with minor revisions, but the editor and the third reviewer give you a major revisions notice Editor then sends you a journal article on
how to write good journal articles

Review Examples I have seen…
Reviewer A and C like your work, Reviewer B rejects your work, the editor brings in two more reviewers and Reviewer D accepts as is and reviewer E rejects it.
What do you do here?

Reviewing Articles
Typically start to receive reviews once you’ve published one journal article
Multi layered system Chief Editor
Editors Associate editors
Reviewers
Any type of editor position is either appointed or invited

Reviewing Articles
Read through them at least twice, with some time period between your reviews. This allows you to: Think about their approach Consider suggestions for improving the research Consider professional and constructive
responses to the points you might have issues with in their manuscript
If you are young in your career you probably want to remain an anonymous reviewer.
