Writing a math research paper: start to finish!

Thank you so much for putting the effort in to make this video! Very helpful! I’m starting my first math research project now and am super excited!

Great vid. Thanks. Is digital topology related to a-periodic monotiling?

I am an undergrad without much knowledge of how the academia works, so I had a question... whilst I understand that the inspiration behind your idea is the previous work of your collaborator, this paper was effectively written on your ideas, so why is it that your name comes after your collaborator's when the article is being published (and hence making him the primary author)?

great

How do you feel about LaTeX? would that be an interesting video topic for you?

Hey Chris, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also highly engaging thumbnails as well that helps to grow your channel fastly ?

Mathematician here. It seems to me that the five referee reports could be down to the referee not doing as thorough a report first time around, really thinking what they would like to see and spelling it out in detail. It's nice that the first report only took a month (blazingly fast!), but after round three it does get tiring for everyone involved.

On the other end of the scale, my colleague and I wrote a paper verrrry slowly and are still working on parts 2 and 3, and in the meantime our separate families have together added three children, and I image all three of them will be at school by the time everything is published (!)

Nice video. I am wondering what actually do when you work on the paper? Let’s say proving the theorem?

Why CC-ND?

Thank you for sharing this! As a PhD candidate, it is very insightful!

i feel like i am watching a man descend into madness

test

At some point, videos will become the main thing and papers optional for the prestige publishers.

the interesting part is that one journal rejected it (and after a 6 mos. wait) and another accepted it.

Seeing all these STEM juggernauts in the comment section. Well, I am a 44-year-old man with a newfound love for math and science. Currently studying Algebra 1. And I loved your vid! Such a fascinating process. Also, you remind me of Joe Pera. Great stuff!

I'm one of those people who joke they can barely count to 5. I truly, on a very deep level, do not understand math and the idea that new math is still being discovered blows my mind. This was so fascinating! Thank you for taking your time to take us through this with you.

Thanks for this--as a math librarian I sometimes get asked for examples of the publishing process and this will be a great resource.

it was AI :D

awesome video

I absolutely loved this. Thanks for all your hard work.

Thank you very much! This video is a gem.

This was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing

I submitted a paper to a certain journal, where we didn't hear for over 2 years before getting a rejection. That was frustrating.

I am reading the paper now. So that was one conjecture that is proven wrong.

$2700??? Geez man

Curious to see the email conversations with the editor throughout to referee report 5

Very great i am beginning a phd in france and this kind of video is very precious to me thank you for sharing !

I would like to pursue math as well, very interesting video!

Who knew Jim Halpert moonlights in topology

Absolutely loved this video! Architype academic. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on finally publishing!🎉
It would be interesting to hear more about your research area and your opinion on popular/not-so-popular journals in it!

You're insane. I got my first research publication last year and this content is beyond inspiring.. Thanks so much!!

I love how 2 months of bogus, no-good work all accumulates into a worthwhile paper

If all goes well, I should start working as a research assistant to a professor here at my school soon. This was really helpful in understanding the entire process of research publication!

This video reminds me of Norbert Wiener's book - I Am a Mathematician.
Thank you for documenting the process. Great video!

And yes, I also think it's wierd that many more people will see this video than the people who will read your paper, considering how much effort and how many hours you spent doing them.

But what about the impact?

Did you speak about the impact in other videos?

"I've never met my co-author" only in stem! great video!

do you use git to manage different versions of TeX files?

Many thanks for sharing this process and to Professor Lee for the expense to release it.

Pretty cool look behind the scenes ... thanks for this awesome video !!

I have no idea what i just watched but found it thoroughly engrossing!

This is a really awesome video! It's great to see the process that went on behind the scenes! Question for you, if you don't mind: You list 2 months of rigorous work on the paper. For the actual concepts and ideas, was this a full "start to finish" so to speak? In other words, was this all the time spent on the concepts themselves that the paper focuses on, or was this only sort of a final polish of ideas that you had already been working on for much longer before feeling the work was worthy of being published?

awesome. and on top of it: all of my open questions are answered in your FAQ :)

I am a student in highschool. Im currently taking the IB program and for math we have to write a 20 page paper and this seems like something that might serve me really useful. I have absolutely no experience in writing a math paper and i was thinking on doing an exploration on machine learning. the math is way above my level but I have the time and passion, plus I understand the basic gist of all the math. I like how this video goes into depth on the actual paper writing instead of the math, as im fairly confident in that.

thank you for your contributions to the field.

what is your opinion on people pirating papers that are not open access via websites like scihub?

I'm a PhD student in Plant Science. Thank you for sharing this! I still wasn't able to set up a collaboration (hope to do so!) and for sharing the true part of doing science of trials and errors.

This was a brilliant video. I'm a PhD student, not quite at the stage to write a paper yet, and your video was a real eye opener to the process. Also made me chuckle!!!
