Dear #ResearchDiary,
It is not only that I did not write anything here for so long, it is also that I did not have any #ResearchTime for the last two weeks.
Sorry for that #Sigh. Wait: Does #Supervision of theses count as research time, #AcademicSky?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Today, I wrote a decent (I hope) abstract for the new article I am writing on #Admiration in #EmergingAdulthood.

G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Today I enjoyed a coffee with colleague in a park, a coffee during which we set the basis of a promising cooperation to study how #ProfessionalIdentity of #TeacherStudents develop in #RealTime.
Where do you discuss about new research projects, #AcademicSky?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
I just discovered #ASReview, one more #OpenScience initiative starting somewhere in the Netherlands, at the @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social, always a pioneer!

Dear #ResearchDiary,
These days, I see a number of articles in the European Journal of #DevelopmentalPsychology referring to #gender issues beyond the bipolar boy-girl, and this makes me very happy!

G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
I just read the methods of a study on #ProsocialBehaviour and #GenderIdentification in 5-year-olds. I was so amazed by the measures used. So creative! Thank you, @christinefawcett.bsky.social and Kahl Hellmer for making me smile today!
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Today, I enjoyed re-writing three times my #Results on an #Admiration project . And still I am not sure if this is the final way. I love how organic writing is!
Do you also change your mind about the course of your writing, #AcademicSky? And do you also enjoy it?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Hot Hot Hot today! And it seems it will be like that for the rest of the summer... Ah... that was it, that's the post...

G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
The hottest time of the day, I chose to come to work in a cafeteria with AC. Until now, I am enjoying a really tasty cake, but after that I will focus on work, I promise #AcademicSky!
Does promising increase #accountability, I wonder?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Now that I am more-or-less done with exams and grading, it is time to write! Am I the only one awaiting this moment impatiently, #AcademicSky?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
I am facing now the challenges of "when did I read enough?" and"how much is enough?".
After creating a collection at #ResearchRabbit, I go through all items to decide what is *really* useful and I throw away.
How do you deal with these issues, #AcademicSky?
Yours,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Tomorrow I have an appointment with six students with no writing experience; how can I get them excited about doing #research, #AcademicSky?
Yours,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Today I read “From the children of today to the adults of tomorrow” by L. Pulkkinen in #EJDP. I especially appreciated her reflections on #dissemination goals. See comments for more. 📘✨
What’s a recent article that really resonated with you, #AcademicSky?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
I spent four splendid days of research in the #ELPSE2025 conference in Ioannina. Now, back home, and struggling to move on with all that was left behind.
How do you deal with this struggle, #AcademicSky?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Getting ready to go to Ioannina, Greece, for the #ELPSE2025 conference. Looking forward to meeting colleagues and discussing about life and research.
What is your motivation when attending conferences, #AcademicSky?
Yours,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
I asked her and she said yes! She will apply for a PhD with me as supervisor, to study #IdentityDevelopment from a dynamic perspective. I am so excited to be able to work with her again!
#Excitement, #Hope
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Yesterday I started reading the #ComingOut narratives from a student’s project... and I’m so excited! Is it too soon to start drafting a paper? 👀✍️
When is the “right” time to start writing, #AcademicSky?
Yours,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Today, a new PhD of my dprt shared that she got all kinds of psychosomatic problems due to the stress of #PhDLife. I wonder if we, faculty members, can take care so that this does not need to happen.
Any ideas on caring for our PhD candidates, dear #AcademicSky?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Today I read the scope of two journals to which we may submit a ms on #AcademicEzpecations and #WellBeing. We already have two desk rejections, apparently bc we aimed too high or did not consider carefully the scope of previous journals.
Wish us luck!
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
I wholeheartedly enjoyed my Easter vacation and I am looking forward to #AcademicWriting the coming weeks! I will keep you posted!
How do you keep the energy flowing, after vacation, #AcademicSky?
Yours,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Did I mention that our #SystematicReview on #Parenting and #SexualDebut was published? You can find it here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Back to my inbox after 5 vacation days (incl. weekend!); took an hour just to sort it all! Not sure there's still time for actual writing today.
Skimming literature counts as research time, right? Ok, starting there.
What counts as #Research, dear #AcademicSky?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Last night I dreamed about my ms on #Parenting that I need to revise. The reviewers’ comments are so thoughtful and still I had to convince myself in my dream that I will follow them.
Do you ever have such dreams, #AcademicSky?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
The editor contacted me: Our article on academic turning points (aka #NarrativeIdentity) in the lives of 1st and 2nd year students was accepted for publication! Yuppie !
Happy regards,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Presentation for the #ELPSE conference of May is ready! I present the Greek data of international collaboration on #crisisepisodes as reported by #EmergingAdults.
Do you also find it tricky to present in your native language, or is it just me? #AcademicSky
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
As I cite my own work, I feel like defining myself research-wise, in that I see how my works are related with each other.
Do you feel the same, at least some times, #AcademicSky?
Best,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Done with revising according to the comments of #Reviewer1. The comments of #Reviewer2 are more challenging, but still constructive. Wish me luck 🍀!
Where do you seek psychological support while revising, #AcademicSky?
Yours,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Today we finalised the research proposal of a promising PhD candidate of mine. I am very excited for this!
Do you share such emotions with coworkers, #AcademicSky?
Best regards,
G.
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Today, I prepared the cover letter for the resubmission of my ms. I'll use it to guide the required revisions. I found this less stressful than making changes and then preparing the cover letter.
What is your preferred strategy to deal with revision requests, #AcademicSky?
Dear #ResearchDiary,
Today I hoped to start and finish the coding of a medium sized dataset. As previously, I underestimated how much effort this takes.
Am I the only one making such a mistake, #QualRes #AcademicSky?
Regards,
G.
