More Academic Advice

Inspired (in some cases, subconsciously) by our post on “How to Read an Academic Article,” several professors have written follow-up or companion pieces offering advice to students and new faculty:

“How to Review a Literature” by Gabriel Rossman (nice blog template BTW)
“Writing ‘One Pagers'” by Anthony Evans
“How to Write Less Badly” by Mike Munger (via Pete Boettke)
“How to Be Awesome” by Fabio Rojas

Of course there are the classics like Ezra Zuckerman’s “Tips to Article Writers,” Eric Rasmusen’s “Aphorisms on Writing, Speaking, and Listening,” Simon Jones’s “How to Write a Good Research Paper and Give a Good Research Talk,” Kwan Choi’s “How to Publish in Top Journals,” Dan Hamermesh’s “The Young Economist’s Guide to Professional Etiquette,” Richard Hamming’s “You and Your Research,” and George Ladd’s “Artistic Research Tools for Scientific Minds.”

Peter, I have always found Richard Langlois’ notes on writing for economists to be very useful. Perhaps you know him.

These notes have been significantly updated and can be found at;

Lang-who?

Thanks for the pointer, hadn’t seen those before. Unlike some other bloggers around here, Dick is too much of a gentleman to plug himself so relentlessly.
