Hi Forum, I’ve enjoyed reading and learning from your posts for some time now. I was very fortunate on the job market this year and accepted an Assistant Professor offer from an R1 (RU/VH). I am thrilled! I am trying to solicit non-biased advice on a research strategy to both (a) eventually become a field leader and more importantly (b) for tenure. B journals count, but there are some expectations for A journals. My current research: I do have a first-author B accepted which will count towards tenure. I also have manuscripts under review at an A and B+/A-. I have another manuscript finished for a B that I am waiting to submit until my accepted B is in print. I do not believe that my A submission will be accepted. However, I am optimistic that it along with the B+/A- submission will eventually be accepted in a B+/A- journal (opinion formed after talking with my advisor (and co-author)). I completed my PhD from a highly-respected University, but in 3 years. I think that because of this I am still somewhat green and may need to teach myself more skills to hit A’s regularly and consistently (prob not unlike most). So, in your opinion what option should I pursue? 1. Concentrate my efforts on B and B/A- journal submission and hope to increase my skills with continued experience on projects and the review process 2. Drastically slow my current research work to focus on improving theory/experimental design/writing 3. Try and balance option 1 and 2 I would appreciate any advice or suggestions, especially from somewhat to more established faculty at a research university. The advice I have seen on this forum has been outstanding. P.S. Not submitting to a B is not an option for me. I need a floor in case I don’t make tenure. Plus even Tomas Hult has B’s! ‘ Thank you!
