Sep 7, 2011 at 15:00 | comment | added | David White | Please see the following meta post if you want to debate whether or not this question should stay open. Please upvote this comment so it appears above the fold: tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion/1132/a-pair-of-questions/… | |
Sep 7, 2011 at 14:27 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | Hear, hear, KConrad. It's sort of like saying, "Look, I think you should be a little more like me, and..." (Is that an example of passing to an extreme case??) | |
Sep 7, 2011 at 12:53 | comment | added | Allen Knutson | (Following Mariano, with apologies to JSE) Post your papers on the/an arXiv before submitting them to journals. | |

Sep 7, 2011 at 12:25 | comment | added | David White | Develop a ---Overflow website! Seems to have had nice consequences for our field so far, and other academic fields could benefit similarly. See for instance tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion/1128/… | |
Sep 7, 2011 at 12:05 | comment | added | KConrad | Most people would definitely not be receptive to a sentence that starts with "you should be a little more like a mathematician about this...". Just present the recommended habit and why it is worth considering and drop that it's one that mathematicians use. | |

Sep 7, 2011 at 4:05 | comment | added | JSE | Also: this is definitely for the general public, not just academics in fields other than math -- so good as Mariano's point about author-order is, it's more narrowcast than what I'm looking for. | |
Sep 7, 2011 at 4:03 | comment | added | JSE | "more suppportive bunch" is actually good -- I think mathematicians are very good at disagreeing with each other in a productive way. | |
Sep 7, 2011 at 3:53 | comment | added | James D. Taylor | Recognize the lack of definitions. That's the really big one I can think of. Also, we are a far more supportive bunch than most other academic communities - but I'm not sure that's the type of answer you're looking for. | |
