Research is Group Work

New Books Network

Listen to this interview of Tim Menzies, Editor in Chief, Automated Software Engineering, and also, Full Professor, Computer Science, North Carolina State University. We talk about how disagreement in research brings advancement.

Tim Menzies : "In writing your research, you can't belligerently say, 'I want to say something.' The thing that goes wrong with newbies writing papers is that they write, 'I did. I did. I did.' Because, the people who publish very well, they write, 'They did. They did. They did.' So, you have to say something someone else can hear, otherwise there's no point in saying it. And to say something someone else can hear, you have to say it in the patterns they appreciate. You have to study the discourse and the norms of the forums you're targeting, and you have to match to them."
