Sep 15, 2020 at 11:59 comment added Jochen Glueck I have to say that the ratio of upvotes for this question and for its dual one (asked and linked by @GerryMyerson) does not reflect too well on our profession...

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.
