他常接到來自世界各地研究生的信件,向他請益或是尋求其他方面的協助,前兩天他寫了一篇 What you can ask of a researcher in an email,文中列出他認為向學者求助(求教)的信件應當有的分寸。他認為不應在信件中提的要求,包括下面幾項:
- This friend of yours has written a paper, can I get a copy?
- Can I get an implementation of this standard algorithm?
- I don’t understand this standard algorithm, can you explain it to me?
- I need to adapt your algorithm to my own problem, can you do it?
- It is urgent, I need you to… (Hint: if it is urgent, don’t email a stranger about it.)
可是,大家都明白這個道理嗎?如果是的話,便不會有這兩篇文章吧...
