That did not stop me from earning a Ph.D. in the USA, and now I work as a scientist at a prestigious research institute in Switzerland. In this book, I will share the academic publishing approaches that made this journey possible Writing was far from my favorite subject in high school so you can trust me when I say that you don't have to have talent to write a research paper. What you need is a trustworthy system and that is exactly what I offer in this book. It's called the "LEAP" academic writing approach and I designed it to first allow the author to understand the research results himself/herself and then explain them to others in a research paper. When writing the second part of the book, I was thinking of time-traveling to an earlier version of myself. Back when I started my research career, knowing the principles on which academic publishing is built would have made my life much easier. Since time-travel is not (yet) a thing, I did the second-best thing and wrote down the advice so that your journey to professorship would be smoother than mine.

About the Author

I am a researcher at ETH University domain in Switzerland. Working in academia is my dream come true but given my origins, the odds were stacked against me. You see, I grew up in a working-class family in a country that barely anyone has heard of, and I studied at a second-rate university that did not even provide access to research papers. My background did not stop me from earning a Ph.D. in the USA and getting a position at one of the world's best research institutions. This journey was possible only because I developed strong academic communication skills that I will share with you in the Peer Recognized book series. Where did I acquire the skills? To learn telling about my research, I attended courses on public speaking, analyzed great presenters in action, and before my TEDx talk, I even had one-on-one lessons from a theater director. These are skills that no one teaches in graduate school. And even if they did, it most likely the advice would be bad because academics are, for the most part, awful presenters (just recall the number of presentations that start with an "outline"). To master writing impactful research papers, I discussed scientific writing with editors of major academic journals, took advice from people who have published in Nature, and read many books about human psychology. To learn writing winning research proposals, I attended a business incubator and even presented my research to angel investors. After years of refining my skills, I can see the work has paid off. Even though literature was far from my favorite subject in school, writing research papers has become one of my favorite tasks. I feel butterflies in my stomach every time I see a new citation of my papers. Knowing that my work is making an impact pushes me to come up with new research ideas, and five years after Ph.D. graduation, I have authored projects amounting to a total of 6.7 million USD. Finally, knowing how to present my work in conferences and on the internet allows me to connect with many scientists and join exciting collaborative research projects. Every day I enjoy being able to do a job I am passionate about. Getting here was only possible because of the academic communication skills that I developed. In the five Peer Recognized series books, I will show you how to acquire these skills without annoying theater directors and journal editors. Go to https://peerrecognized.com to learn more.
