60: This is more of a comment than a question

Dan and James answer listener questions on academic conferences, getting abreast of the literature, and conflicts of interest.

Here are more details of what's on this episode:

• How question times during conference seminars are useless
• Choosing which conferences to attend as a PhD student
• Feedback from our Registered Reports episode with Chris Chambers (Episode 56)
• People that have binged our entire back catalogue
• The amount of reading do you need to do to keep track of the field you work in
• PhD students need time to make time to read the literature
• People sending out half-arsed work hoping that peer-review will “fix it”
• Guest authorship
• When you’re a native English speaker and get asked to have your manuscript proofed by a native English speaker
• Is it a conflict of interest to a review a paper with that includes someone you’ve co-authored with in the past on a different topic?
• The Frontiers journal model
• Reviewing papers so that authors are actually grateful for your criticism
