#44,5

Today I have had an article writing day, with some 1.500 words added to my wasted growth articles and my article "Introducing a notion of accumulated GDP". Among other things, I added a number of references, and finished compiling a table on the occurrence of wasted growth in the USA and the Nordic countries (with some commentary).

Total number of writing days this Spring is up to 44,5.

Accummulated GDP article rejected

My article "Introducing a notion of accummulated GDP" has been rejected, with sensible editorial comments, by Scandinavian Economic History Review.

"Introducing a notion of accummulated GDP" revised; submitted to Scandinavian Economic History Review

Today I have made some edits/minor revisions in my article "Introducing a notion of accummulated GDP", which I am submitting to Scandinavian Economic History Review. Some 300 words added.

Article writing day with work done in relation to three articles

Today I have had a 6 hour, full article writing day, bringing total number of writing days this Spring up to 4,5. My work today was devoted to:

 - minor (formatting-focused) revision of my article "Current human ecology in the Amazon and beyond: A multi-scale ecosemiotic approach" (cf. post about conditional acceptance)

 - writing a bionote for The American Journal of Semiotics to accompany my accepted article (now in production) "What can be known about future Umwelten?"

- reading and taking notes for a minor revision of my article manuscript "Introducing a notion of accumulated GDP" (which I have decided to soon submit to a second journal)

Quarter writing day

I had scheduled to have my first "writing day" of the autumn today, but since my son starts school today (and was at home yesterday since SFO was closed), and I also have an email backlog to take care of, it only amounted to 90 minutes of thought-gathering (on a forthcoming editorial for Biosemiotics plus revision of "Introducing a notion of accumulated GDP").

"Introducing a notion of accumulated GDP" rejected

My article "Introducing a notion of accumulated GDP" has been rejected without a review by the editor of Explorations in Economic History, due to lack of theoretical and methodological discussion. I will make use of the feedback received when revising the manuscript before submitting to another journal.

Article "Introducing a notion of accumulated GDP" finished and submitted

I have just submitted my fresh article "Introducing a notion of accumulated GDP" to Explorations in Economic History, with data material tentatively submitted to Data in Brief (both Elsevier journals). In its present form the article includes 10 tables and 11 Figures.

Writing trip to Tromsø concluded

This is the conclusion of my second YFF-funded writing trip, to Tromsø. I have worked some 13 hours per day, though not exclusively with writing. I have written some text for "Wasted growth - case study: The American nightmare", and a little bit to "The case for minimizing anthropogenic mortality in wildlife management" and "Human development, inequality and social risks in Latin America and the Nordic countries", but have first and foremost worked on "Introducing a notion of accumulated GDP". This has included both text and preparation of material which will appear in tables and figures. I hope to have the latter article finished now shortly, "Wasted growth..." hopefully in August, "Human development..." in October, and "The case..." at some point before New Year.

Oxford writing trip coming to an end

My first writing trip, to Oxford, is coming to an end - I will be heading home tomorrow morning. I have not done as much as I hoped, but I have nevertheless: Revised a jointly written article (see previous post); started on and developed a disposition for "The case for minimizing anthropogenic mortality in wildlife mortality", found key, updated sources for "Introducing a notion of accumulated GDP", brainstormed about (and hopefully operationalized) a later article on wasted and wasteful growth (GDP growth vs. human development), and cleared my head concerning realistic academic writing plans for the rest of the year.

Writing trip to Oxford

I am currently (27/4-2/5) in Oxford, at a hotel, on a writing trip. This is my very first writing trip (and my first visit to Oxford), but I intend to have another one at some point this summer (both funded with my Yngre Fremragende Forskere (Younger Outstanding Researchers) funds). I am primarily drafting (or at least getting started with) two articles, work-titled "The case for minimizing anthropogenic mortality in wildlife management" and "Introducing a notion of accumulated GDP".
