How can I help you?
Reach out to receive support.

I'm always searching for ways to get more focused and productive, but…

I wasted years because I didn’t understand what it actually meant to be productive.

And then I stumbled onto a book that made me realize I'd been chasing the wrong thing entirely.

See, I'd always equated productivity with "getting more done".

But that's not productivity... that's just throughput.

Productivity isn't about getting more done.

It's about getting more done per unit of input.

Interestingly, the book that lifted the wool from my eyes was written over 2,000 years ago and had nothing to do with productivity.

It was simply one man's attempt to figure out what it meant to live a good life.

And there's one line from this book that I think about every single day:

"If you seek tranquility, do less. Or, more accurately, do what's essential.

Which brings a double satisfaction:

To do less, better. Because most of what we say and do is NOT essential."

- Marcus Aurelius (Meditations)

My life transformed the day I stopped chasing productivity...

And instead, pursued Essentialism.

*

Here's 6 lessons from Essentialism that have served me well:

1. Success isn’t about HOW MUCH you get done…

It’s about WHAT you get done.

“There is no greater waste than to do with excellence that which shouldn’t be done at all.”

*

2. Saying “Yes” to this is just another way of saying “No” to that.

Every yes comes at the expense of something else.

Be incredibly careful what you say yes to.

*

3. If you don’t set your priorities, someone else will.

Listen, either you own your calendar…

Or your calendar owns you.

There is no third option here.

***

There's 3 more concepts from essentialism that've had a profound effect on my life.

I can't do them justice here with only a few words.

The investigation is finished and here are the conclusions. 


Background:

The investigation was order by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that gave Dias a CAREER grant ($790,000). 

It covers four retracted papers (2 x Nature papers, one in Chemical Communications and one Physical Review Letters paper).

In Nature papers, Dias claimed the discovery of room-temperature superconductivity. 


🛑  The investigation concluded that:

- Dias first fabricated magnetic susceptibility data and published it in Nature (the CSH paper). 

- Then, after people had scrutinized it and asked for data, Dias and his collaborator showed a set of fabricated raw data.

- Then people asked even more questions about data discrepancy. And Dias claimed he “had used an elaborate data-processing method for the published data”. 

- He intentionally misled his team & collaborators: He told his collaborations at UNLV that measurements were taken at Rochester, and told the Rochester team the opposite.

- In his PRL paper on MnS2, he provided manipulated data rather than raw data to reviewers. He took electronica resistance data on GeSe4 from his own PhD thesis and presented it as raw data for MnS2.

- The worst manipulation of data was for the Meissner effect. He just took the data for LuH material and inverted it to show the effect. This Meissner effect was key to getting it accepted for publication.


Ultimately, the committee found that the Rochester students and Sachith Dissanayake (a co-author faculty) were not culpable, but victims. 


Two cents from me:

❗ A professor can manipulate inexperienced students and mislead collaborators. As a co-author, if you are NOT sure about the results, question them until you agree OR decline the authorship.

❗ No data = no one believes your claim. All our data must be available.


#research #science  #scienceandtechnology #university

"How do you publish 7 papers per year in top-tier journals?"

By creating a paper pipeline. 
So, I never run out of ideas and ongoing manuscripts.

And, by the way, 7 papers per year is my minimum production. I author somewhere between 7 to 25 articles (now as a PI) per year.

Get in touch with me to learn about my proven system to create a powerful paper pipeline.

Ever wondered how some researchers publish so much,
despite the slow publication process?

With frequent rejections
and harsh comments from reviewers,
it seems like a mission impossible.

But it is entirely possible through creating a paper funnel.

Let me give you my favorite combination of production each academic year:

3 research papers
1 systematic or meta-analysis review article
1 book with a minimum of 5 chapters
1 conference paper

Let’s do the math:

3 + 1 + 5 + 1 = 10 Items added to your scholarly profile each academic year.
10 new ways of sharing your knowledge,
10 avenues of boosting your CV as a researcher.

↳ And this can be done without spending a single dime on journals and, in fact, even receiving remunerations for your work.

↳ Yes, all this can be achieved without being a principal investigator or having an army of PhD students and Postdocs working under your command.


But you may wonder, how is that even possible?

Creating a paper funnel requires your proactive attitude, great trust in yourself and your abilities, and of course, acquiring the know-how to succeed.

Are you ready?
Here we go 👇🏻

→ Design your research with multiple target outcomes in mind and work in parallel to obtain results.

→ As you collect results, create separate baskets where you store the results for each individual study/paper.

→ Work in such a way that once one paper is submitted, you have plenty of results to initiate the second and third one. So, you never sit around waiting for the first one to get accepted to start the next.

→ Know that one analysis can serve multiple papers. Keep this in mind before running the test to hit multiple targets in one shot.

→ Leverage internationally available databases accessible to global researchers for their analysis.

→ Add the beauty of statistical analyses to your papers to enrich the results. You can draft a meta-analysis purely from the results of your stats conducted on freely available databases.

→ Recycle your already published journal papers, present them in short form, and attend conferences. Reminder: Conferences are not a place to disclose novelty. They are the right avenue to listen, learn, validate, and develop collaboration.

→ Master one new skill each year and write a textbook about it to help others learn that skill, too. You’ll get paid for this effort. (I’ve produced 10 books published by Springer, and the average pay was 700 Euros per book.)

→ Develop collaboration with colleagues across the globe and rely on the hard work and talent of undergraduate students. (I have several top-tier journal papers and book chapters co-authored with 19 or 20-year-old undergraduate students who followed instructions word by word and were over the moon when their names appeared on papers.)

Have you ever dreamed about:

⤴ Hanging out with Nobel Laureates?
⤴ Talking to ministers and politicians?
⤴ Publishing a top-tier conference paper?
⤴ Having a coffee with me to talk Q1 papers?

If the answer to all the above is "YES," here is your chance!

We've just signed an MOU with IEEE to technically sponsor our conference and publish the selected articles in IEEE Xplore. I'll serve as the Chair of Publication for this massive event. 🎉🎉🎉

So, I have 3 calls to action; which one do you choose?

1. Submit your papers, and I'll review them with our editorial team: https://lnkd.in/eznvY6ep

2. Register yourself as a Reviewer and get certified for your contribution: https://lnkd.in/e-g9Swgt

3. Repost ♻️ this for maximum outreach!

P.S. Would you prefer coffee or tea? I should begin making a list. 😄

We send 4 types of letters to journals after submitting a manuscript:
[And I hope yours is the second one] 

↳ Cover Letter

→ Accompanies the submission.
→ Addressed to the Editor-in-Chief (EIC).
→ Typically one page, sometimes a page and a half.
→ Highlights the significance of the findings and why the work is a good fit.

↳ Point-by-Point Response to the Reviewers

→ Sent after the revision is received.
→ Addressed to the editor-in-charge, not the EIC.
→ Provides detailed responses to the reviewers’ and editor’s comments.

↳ Resubmission Cover Letter

→ Used when the journal’s decision has been Reject & Resubmit.
→ Represents a second chance given to the authors by the journal.
→ Should be treated as a complete response to the comments.
→ Addressed to the EIC as a new submission.

↳ Rebuttal Letter
(I sent rebuttals twice, and both times, the manuscripts were accepted)

→ Used when the authors believe the journal’s rejection has been unfair.
→ An appeal to the EIC accompanied by a thorough response to the comments and justifications.

In any case, make sure these letters are professionally prepared and avoid jargon. 

I firmly believe that if the Response to the Reviewers' Comments is made carefully and professionally, the submission will return with nothing but a sweet acceptance. ✅

4 Types of Hypotheses Every Researcher Needs to Know

No complexities, just simple types

► Null Hypothesis (H₀)
→ No significant relationship or difference exists

Example: There is no significant difference in vocabulary retention between students who use flashcards and those who do not

► Alternative Hypothesis (H₁)
→ Significant relationship or difference exists

Example: There is a significant difference in vocabulary retention between students who use flashcards and those who do not

► Directional Hypothesis
→ Predicts the direction of the relationship or difference

Example: Students who use flashcards for vocabulary learning will have better retention than those who do not use flashcards

► Non-Directional Hypothesis
→ Predicts a relationship or difference without specifying direction

Example: There is a difference in vocabulary retention between students who use flashcards and those who do not

🟠 Crafting effective hypotheses

► Identify research question
→ Clearly define the problem to investigate

► Conduct background research
→ Review existing literature for context

► Formulate hypotheses
→ Develop testable statements aligning with research objectives

► Choose appropriate hypothesis type
→ Select based on research goals and design

You're stuck? Is it someone else's fault?

Maybe...

But for as long as it's YOUR PROBLEM, it requires YOUR ACTION!
Taking ownership will open doors that blame never will.

Coaching the academic community, from undergraduates to associate deans, has taught me how our human fears and frustrations are strikingly similar.

We share common insecurities, fear of failure or being judged, and the anxiety of feeling inadequate or insufficient. Knowing that we are not isolated in our experiences gives us comfort.

But the key to growth lies beyond merely acknowledging these shared feelings.

To address this, I integrated a foundational module into my program, the Autonomous Author Accelerator. This module is designed to assist students in cultivating a growth mindset, developing resilience, and fostering a vision that appreciates the bigger picture.

The 150 hours of training, 200 hours of coaching, and rigorous exams that prepared me to become a recognized ACC by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) came in handy.

Have you ever considered writing a Research-Review Article?
These types of works serve as positioning papers! 🎙️
They stand above regular reviews or research works. 

A research paper can do more than just report findings. 🔍

This is one example where research and review combine to form powerful work. 👇🏻

Dr. Kingsley Okoye, a senior member of my team, crafted this masterpiece. 

This paper, for instance, opens multiple sections after the discussion to address the implications of the findings in a broader context.

 How?

It thoroughly analyzes the literature, 
Compares its findings with other studies,
Reviews the NGOs and government reports, 
And suggests future directions and opportunities.

Give this technique a try! 

You'll gain so much more readership and citations. 
And
You position yourself as an authority in the field. 

P.S. Have you ever combined research and review results in one same paper?

6 morning routines that make my days 100X productive
[and take only 10 minutes to exercise]

↳  Before my feet touch the ground, I remind myself: I am enough.

↳  I honor the cycles! Just as the reps build muscles, mastery is doing the same things over and over.

↳  I recall that I am on a mission and today is a continuation of what I began yesterday and in the days before.

↳  I celebrate my achievements and give myself credit for what I've accomplished so far.

↳  I recognize that my life is a unique opportunity! Life is short and there's no time to waste.

↳  I spend a few minutes in silence to give thanks for everything I'm provided.

And I am set to go...

P.S. How do you tune yourself to start the day?

Your journey in journal publication will be challenging!
If it were easy, everyone would have 200 papers published in top journals.

If you're not willing to fail, you're not ready for success!
