  • Predatory Journals

    I found some good information on predatory journals. I need to stay away from these journals. I found the article: Predatory Journals: What They Are and How to Avoid Them By: Susan A. Elmore and Eleanor H. Weston https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7237319/ A post on LinkedIn also provided two predatory journal lists: http://www.dgpis.gob.mx/PDF/Difusion/RevistasDepredadoras.pdf  I was surprised by the… Continue reading

  • Technical Writing

     #Throwback to the time I was considering applying for Technical Writing positions as a side job while I complete my PhD. Here is the post: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2024/04/technical-writer.html. Today, I am working on obtaining work writing papers for students and also go after work writing technical documents and requirements for technical departments. If you need assistance with a… Continue reading

  • Update

     It is hot in Linden! I hope rain showers cool down the place in a little while. It is good when it rains on hot days. The internet is back to normal. It is good to have a continuous internet connection. Continue reading

  • Connection Problems

    For the past few days I was unable to connect to the internet. I am not sure why the internet went out. The thunderstorm we had a few days ago may have been the cause. Now it is quiet and very boring. We are working on getting the internet fixed. Continue reading

  • Update

    Good morning from Linden, Guyana! It is a quiet Monday morning. Not much is happening here. It seems that it will be a pretty uneventful day. I am enjoying the quiet. It is in quiet times that you have deep thoughts and bright ideas. Maybe I’ll have an idea for a new paper today! Continue reading

  • Stuff Delivered

     I received the “stuff” my father sent me yesterday. I was completely surprised by the delivery because the shipping company told me they would call me first. They didn’t. There could have been timing issues, but luckily everything worked out. I was at home to receive the delivery. I was out earlier but returned home… Continue reading

  • Favorite Word

    There are literally more than 1 million words in the English language. It is hard to have just one favorite. There are several words that I like: uncouth, chaos, queue, laurel, to name a few. I tend to like words that have a unique sound or a positive meaning. If I had to pick one… Continue reading

  • Different Paper

     I found a ‘different’ paper – a paper that does not have the usual headings or structure. In the abstract, the author wrote, “This article reviews some of the persistent controversies in the field of usability, starting with their history, then assessing their current status from the perspective of a pragmatic practitioner.” The paper includes… Continue reading

  • Trip to Georgetown

    Earlier today I was in Georgetown to take care of some business. I got up early to get the bus (from Linden) to Georgetown. I did not expect to get there so quickly. The time in Georgetown went by very quickly as well. I was able to get the task completed and return to Linden… Continue reading

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.

I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
