schestowitz[TR2]                                <p>Success is different for everyone, and it changes depends on where you are in life. The very definition of success actually is “a favourable or desired outcome” which can change very often. Your communication style can also affect your success.</p>Feb 15 15:49
schestowitz[TR2]                                <p>How do you know what your communication style is? You could take one of the many communication style quiz’s, and after taking a number of them you may realize you are getting different results. That’s because there is no common communication style, or even common quiz that you can take that would give you a result.</p>Feb 15 15:49

schestowitz[TR2]                                    <blockquote>Feb 15 15:51
schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>The article linked above confirms common rates of academic consulting fees, i.e., anything between US$100 per hour for graduate students and US$350 per hour for faculty. Taking a conservative US$200 as an easy, lower-bound estimate for, say, a post-doc hour seems to cover most cases. Clearly, many academics, especially from high-income countries, will refuse to work for such a low payment.Feb 15 15:51
schestowitz[TR2] In order to mitigate against potential exploitative developments, US$200 appears more like a bare minimum.</p>Feb 15 15:51
schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>How long does peer-review take? A recent article examined this question in great detail and concluded that one round of peer-review takes an average of about 6h and that an average published article requires about three such reviews, i.e., 18h of peer-review per published article, or an additional cost of US$3600 per published article, if this peer-review were adequately paid.</p>Feb 15 15:51
