    Hi Karen, thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge and experience. Although I’m not a total stranger to the publication world, I do find your videos very helpful as a non-native English speaker. You have no idea how much your videos have helped me throughout the last stage of my PhD. Thanks again for your good work!

      I've worked with a number of international students and so know how difficult writing in English can be.

    Thank You Karen, for your efforts to make us better scientific writers.I have gone through all your videos (except about presentations). You have successfully changed my mindset about scientific writing and reading.

      Thanks for your comment. In my videos, I try to provide the help that I never got as a student. We were expected to somehow "know" how to write scientific papers without any explicit training in technical writing. But as many students discover, learning to write well (enough to get published) takes a lot of effort, insight, and practice. I share what worked for me as an incentive for others to develop their own writing skills. Making these videos is also fun for me and a way to stay engaged in retirement.

    This is really helpful. In my experience I find that writers with English as a second language sometimes particularly struggle with 'articles'. It would be great if you could cover that topic sometime as well -- if you take requests ;-)

      @@ScientificWritingwithKarenLMcK 头To me, Bilibili is the best video sharing site in China. It is super popular and of course includes everything. Some channels like you are sharing are also shared on bilibili, like James Hoffmann. He is a coffee master having his youtube channel and also shares videos on bilibili.

    Hi Karen, first of all, thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. It's been awesome and useful. I have a question about plagiarism, could you help me, please? I published my thesis 2 years ago and since then, I've been trying to publish my articles, but apparently, the journals have been rejecting them, saying that I'm plagiariazing...but when I check out on turntin, I see that I'm "plagiarizing myself, my own thesis" I've been writing and re-writing my paper again and again....but it always happens the same. Could you please give some recommendations about what should I?? Thank you in advance! Have a great new year!

    • @ScientificWritingwithKarenLMcK

      I’m sorry you are having this problem.
      First, was your thesis actually published (by an academic publisher) or was it simply posted to a repository by your university? If the former, you would have signed over the copyright to the academic publisher. If the latter, the thesis is not considered to be published and you would be free to submit it (or portions of it) to a journal. But there could still be a problem if the repository copy is online. In this case, it might be possible to have the copy of your thesis taken offline.
      If your thesis was published (and you signed over the copyright), then another publisher (e.g., of a journal) may have a problem with a manuscript containing intact portions of that published thesis. But it would be worthwhile to contact the journal or the publishing house to inquire about their policy regarding reuse of thesis/dissertation material. For example, Elsevier has the following statement clarifying their policy on prior publication: “To avoid any doubt, Elsevier does not count publication of an academic thesis as prior publication.” (www.elsevier.com/connect/editors-update/clarification-of-our-policy-on-prior-publication ). They additionally advise checking the journal’s instructions for their specific policy on thesis publication. Perhaps you can find a journal/publisher with a similar policy on academic thesis publication?
      If you are still in contact with your thesis advisor, perhaps they can help you deal with this situation.
