I’m sure it’s been difficult one!

That’s for the import tariff. I want to swap to the agile export tariff ;)

@octopus.energy can I swap my export tariff from outgoing to agile outgoing? If so, how do I do that?

@octopus.energy I’m on Cosy tariff. It seems that the ‘daily’ numbers are estimated correctly, but the weekly & monthly figures are estimated using the standard rate 27p/kWh rather than Cosy rates - may be a bug in your mobile app?

No problem, just wanted to check if it’s a glitch or sth. Worked well before. Downloaded daily costs / kWh works out ok.

@octopus.energy are the weekly/monthly estimates off in your app? Daily seems ok based on Cosy tariff but weekly started using the regular tariff at 27p/kWh for estimate?

...I know it's hard to get reviewers these days, but please, please, please maintain the scientific integrity of the journal. If you have to, push back against the publisher - they need to serve the community, not the other way around.

Otherwise, we can upload papers to pre-print servers and we...

And all invitations came from the big 5 publishers.

I reject such invitations and add the comment above. If I accepted, I would do a disservice to:
- the authors as I don't hold enough experience to provide a sound review
- the community as the paper may be inaccurate

P.S. The community isn't about me teaching from a pedestal. It's about us figuring this out together. You bring your experience. I bring mine. We all get better.

P.P.S. Let me know if you want in.

You're exactly who this is for.

I'm not here to convince you.

I'm just here to share what I've learned and help the researchers who want it.

No strings attached. Just value.

Because I believe the best academic communities aren't built on gatekeeping.

They're built on generosity.

If you're a researcher who wants to:

- Get published in respected outlets

- Build a voice people actually listen to

- Share your work in ways that matter

People who are tired of the old academic playbook. People who know that visibility matters. People who want to build authority without feeling like they're selling their soul.

Here's the thing:

When we hit 1,000 members, everyone in the community gets a free paper writing workshop.

So here's what I'm doing:

I'm building a community of researchers who want to publish better, build their academic voice, and actually get their work noticed.

We already have over 100 members since the community opened last week.

I've spent years figuring this out. The hard way.

The late nights rewriting manuscripts. The rejections. The trial and error with every platform. The slow realization that great research means nothing if it doesn't reach people.

But because I've been where you might be right now:

→ Papers under review for months
→ Research outputs that nobody reads
→ Wondering why some academics build collaborations while others stay invisible

Five years ago, I made a decision.

I could keep everything I learned about publishing, academic dissemination, and building a research voice to myself.

Or I could share it all.

I chose to share.

Not because I'm trying to sell you something (I'm not).

It took me 14 months to write and publish my first paper.
(6 months for second and 4 months for third).

Here is the writing tip I wish I had during my PhD because it changed my research writing process:

Writing isn't about perfection. It's about consistent progress.

...fundamentals), it finally clicked.

Most people overcomplicate research. They believe it requires superhuman intelligence or an endless amount of time. WRONG. It's about smart strategies, not hard work.

My secret? I treat research like a strategic game. Targeted and laser-focused. No more...

...is.

Let me be brutally honest - I used to be TERRIBLE at research.

I felt lost when my models didn't converge or my results didn't make any sense. Frustrated that I was told 'to figure it out myself'. But when I started looking into 'how' things work and 'why' they work this way (aka....

targeted search strategies and strings for your literature review
- Start with simple methods before increasing complexity to get confidence
- Understand fundamentals to be able to critically assess other sources

Research process itself isn't hard, but we've been conditioned to think it...

Most researchers think that research is HARD.

You are expected to:

- Spend weeks drowning in endless academic papers
- Struggle with the implementation of complex methodologies
- Feel overwhelmed by mountains of (often inaccurate) information

But it's (mechanically) really simple:
