This document discusses research inquiries and what makes a good inquiry question. It defines a research inquiry as research guided by probing questions that can potentially lead to new findings or additional questions. An example of a good inquiry question is provided, which asks about the effect of daily Twitter use on attention spans of under-16s. The document contrasts good inquiry questions, which are focused and answerable, with bad ones, which are too broad or have obvious biases, noting that good questions drive high-quality research.
This document provides an introduction to a university course on research methods. It discusses how to choose a research topic, including considering topics that interest you and have available research, and topics that are creative and interesting to readers. It emphasizes narrowing a broad topic by considering why the topic is important, what the major issues are, who is involved, the geographical and historical contexts. The document also discusses coming up with keywords that are similar or related to the research topic or question to aid in research. It is presented by an instructor named SOPHENG TEP and includes examples and references.

Toward best practices for research assessment: Effects of indicators and the...Sarah de Rijcke
Keynote Sarah de Rijcke European Sociological Association Prague, 26 August 2015.
This presentation draws on insights from two research projects that show how indicators influence the production of knowledge in the life sciences and social sciences, and how certain in- and exclusion mechanisms get built into the scientific system through numerical evaluation criteria.
Our findings point to a rather self-referential focus on metrics and a lack of space for responsible, relevant research in the scientific practices under study. On the basis of these findings I argue that we need an alternative moral discourse in research assessment, centered around the need to address growing inequalities in the science system. We need to bridge the very fundamental gap between the dominant assessment criteria, and the new roles of research in society. Secondly, the talk considers the most pertinent issues from the Leiden Manifesto for research metrics (Hicks et al. 2015) for the community of sociologists.

The document provides guidance on writing a thesis, including what constitutes a thesis, its typical structure, and rules for writing style. It discusses that a thesis affirms a position and intended conclusions. It should have a clear topic and motivate the reader. A thesis typically includes an introduction, background, methodology, references, and conclusion sections. It also outlines basic writing style rules for a thesis, such as font, spacing, indentation, headings, quotes, and citations.
This document provides guidance on how to write a thesis. It begins by outlining the structure of the tutorial in two parts. It then discusses both the good and bad aspects of writing a thesis. Key points include that writing a thesis is difficult but teaches important skills, and having a thesis committee selected early is beneficial. The document provides tips on developing a thesis message, table of contents, and timetable. It emphasizes starting writing early and getting feedback. Common mistakes and problems are also addressed.
This document provides advice on how to write a first research paper. It discusses seven rules for preparing a well-structured manuscript: 1) Schedule regular writing time blocks in your calendar; 2) Create a detailed outline and get feedback; 3) Continue writing drafts without editing; 3.1) Start with the Materials and Methods section; 3.2) Write the Results section objectively using data, visuals, and highlighting key findings; 4) Draft the Introduction; 5) Write the Discussion/Conclusion; 6) Revise using different strategies. Following these rules will help novice writers initiate the writing process and draft each section of their first research paper.

Publishing Scientific Research & How to Write High-Impact Research Papersjjuhlrich
Presentation given by John Uhlrich, editor of the journal Energy Technology at Wiley-VCH, on a visit to Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, 5th of October 2016.
This document provides information and guidance about conducting research and writing research papers. It discusses the key steps in the research process, including defining the problem, reviewing literature, collecting and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. It also covers important aspects of writing research papers such as choosing a topic, deciding on a journal to submit to, and attributes of a good manuscript such as being concise, technically correct, and recognizing others' contributions. The overall message is that writing is a critical part of the scientific process and that even novel research results will have limited impact if not effectively communicated through writing.
This document discusses using social media to increase the visibility of one's work. It provides an overview of social networking platforms and their usage, tips for sharing work on these platforms at different stages, and how to respond to trolls. The key recommendations are to share abstracts before full publication, preprints before journal submission, and the published work on blogs, academic networks, and social media to increase citations and dissemination of one's research. It also advises maintaining professionalism when responding to hostile or misleading comments online.

This document provides guidance on writing good scientific papers in 3 key points:
1. Start writing the paper on day 1 of the research to focus the work and define the appropriate level of detail.
2. Consider which journal is the best fit for the scope and level of the work. Maintain bibliographic databases and have colleagues review drafts.
3. Address all reviewer concerns in revisions by making changes obvious and without adding new science unless requested. Choose revision over defensiveness.
The document provides advice and perspectives on doing a PhD from multiple individuals. It discusses that a PhD may provide unique freedom and opportunity to pursue topics of personal interest. It encourages determining specific reasons for pursuing a PhD, such as career goals in academia or industry. The document also discusses qualities of good researchers, noting that impactful work is important but cannot be the sole focus given today's research culture. Additionally, it provides advice for PhD theses, emphasizing the importance of innovative, well-presented research that is situated within the relevant literature of the field.
The research question is the most crucial element of any academic paper and the first and most important stage in the publication process. A paper with results that are unoriginal, predictable, or trivial is less likely to be published.

Publishing Scientific Research & How to Write High-Impact Research Papersjjuhlrich
Presentation on publishing scientific research and how to write high-impact scientific papers by Dr. John Uhlrich as the Editor-in-Chief of Energy Technology and Dr. Esther Levy, the Editor-in-Chief of Advanced Materials Technologies, both published by Wiley-VCH. Slide were presented on 28 June 2019 at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).
xyz2mol converts xyz files to RDKit mol objects and can be used to summarize organometallic compounds from xyz files by determining the charge of metal ions using information from the localized molecular orbitals (LMOs). While LMOs provide information on how electrons are distributed among atoms, xyz2mol is still needed to construct the molecular structure and assign charges to individual metal atoms in multi-metal systems. This allows organometallic structures to be analyzed in cheminformatics tools.
This document discusses using genetic algorithms and other machine learning techniques to explore the vast chemical space of possible molecules. It notes that while there are over 10^60 possible small molecules, only around 10^8 have been made so far, leaving most of chemical space unexplored. It provides examples of how genetic algorithms with additive scoring functions have been able to rediscover specific target molecules and molecules with desired properties like light absorption or protein docking. With continued improvements in scoring functions, these techniques may eventually be able to efficiently search the entire chemical space to discover new molecules with useful applications.

This document discusses ChemRxiv, an open access preprint server for chemistry, and Plan S, an initiative to make scientific publications openly available. Some key points:
- ChemRxiv allows quick dissemination of manuscripts and establishes priority before formal publication. Researchers can post pre-acceptance versions and new versions of manuscripts.
- Preprints are good for science by allowing open sharing, but journals remain important for career evaluations like CVs. Journals are expensive while preprint servers are much cheaper.
- Plan S aims to eliminate publication paywalls by requiring open access. It is a response to rising journal prices outstripping budgets and limiting access to research. Open access publishing models can be affordable.
A Quantum Chemist Meets Cheminformaticsmolmodbasics
This document discusses how a quantum chemist began using RDKit to automate workflows for computational chemistry. The chemist describes how RDKit helped automate tasks like generating protonation states, conformers, and finding lowest energy structures. RDKit was also used to build tools like RegioSQM and xyz2mol. More recently, the chemist used RDKit to implement a genetic algorithm approach for designing novel light-absorbing molecules. In conclusion, RDKit has significantly changed the chemist's research by enabling automation that reduces manual work and mistakes, though some "QM-needs" like improved conformational searching and solvation models could further benefit computational chemistry within RDKit.
Can We Automate Computational Studies of Enzymes? Lessons from Small-Molecul...molmodbasics
This document discusses the potential for automating computational studies of enzymes based on lessons from studies of small molecule combustion and atmospheric chemistry. It notes that catalytic mechanisms can now be automatically extracted from reaction networks and that semiempirical quantum mechanics methods may allow automated conformational sampling and reaction setup for enzymes, though their accuracy needs testing. Tools developed so far in the author's group include methods for automatically extracting elementary steps from reaction networks and databases of enzyme reaction energies and barriers calculated at different levels of theory.

Using semiempirical methods for fast and automated predictionsmolmodbasics
The document discusses using semiempirical methods for fast and automated predictions of regioselectivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions of heteroaromatic systems. It describes a workflow that uses RDKit and RegioSQM to predict the site of protonation and substitution in 6 steps: (1) generating protonated isomers, (2) conformational search, (3) finding lowest energy isomer, (4) checking for proton transfer, (5) running calculations, and (6) displaying results. This approach achieved a 90% success rate on a test set of 520 compounds. Lessons learned include asking the "right" questions to improve accuracy, the importance of cheminformatics tools for automation, and ensuring

Quantum Biochemistry: the rise of semiempirical methodsmolmodbasics
CCSD(T)/CBS can now provide numerically exact solutions for small molecules, allowing it to be used for benchmarking and parameterizing faster computational chemistry methods. These faster semi-empirical methods calibrated against CCSD(T)/CBS are now sufficiently accurate and fast to enable high-throughput screening of chemical reactions, protein structures, and enzyme mutants (up to 1,000,000 calculations). The increased accuracy and automation of computational chemistry methods through high-throughput screening is opening new possibilities for molecular design in chemistry.

Photometric and spectroscopic followup with NIRCam and NIRSpec, respectively, confirm the redshift and yield UV-NIR light-curve, NIR color, and spectroscopic information all consistent with a Type Ia classification. Despite its classification as a likely SN Ia, SN 2023adsy is both fairly red (

counterparts, and to confirm that standardized luminosities nevertheless remain constant with redshift.
Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
