Papers, papers, papers... !!!

Thinking aloud on which papers I actually do have lined up... Let's see which's sure and which's possible:

(1) Work with F. Review on methods. I'll need to write and collect more literature. Should finish a draft in 2-3 weeks.

(2) Work with boss M. Proposal of a new model. Running experiments which will last for another 3 weeks. I can't say how long the writing will take for this yet. Since this is first-hand work with boss M, he's keeping a close eye on the model, algorithm and code, and that in itself makes it take time as the feedback loop is more frequent. Not that this is a bad thing, it actually makes the work validate itself, though I keep rewriting code more often.

(3) Work with boss M and Z. Estimation of parameters from new model applied to current methods. Just yesterday, boss M pointed out that there is another possible paper out of our work in (2) that can be piped into Z's work. No time frame for this yet as it largely depends on (2).

(4) My own work. Validation of our previously-published method. A project that is on stand-by soon as I can find time for it. Should be open and shut as I've got the framework done.

(5) Possible work with R. Proposed new method for different organism. I've not met with R for a while (since last year). This is all up in the air, and I'm not sure I can think this up in time for the PhD to end.

Ok... now, what are the chances I finish at least ONE before September?!
