Welcome . . .
​

Academics Only is a "how-to" community for anyone interested in academia.  It's specifically intended to grow into a community collection of best practices that's helpful to three groups people:
​1)  PhD students, 2) new professors, and 3) independent scholars. 

The ideas and advice here will hopefully help you speed down the right road with the fewest false-starts, wrong turns, and dead-ends.

This is also a place where you can take the ideas and strategies that have worked for you and share them with others.  It's another place where you can pay it forward.  

Academia can be incredibly rewarding -- for you, your students, and for those influenced by your research and other projects.  Let us know how we can help.
