Hi,

I'm looking for new collaborators in SRM. No experience necessary.

I've got a long track record of successfully working (unpaid) with young and new co-authors, from middle teens to graduate students. Around half a dozen have done this already. Everyone who has started a collaboration with me ended up either doing a conference presentation or peer reviewed paper. At least 3 teens have got into top tier universities after publishing with me - and I'm told that their authorship experience was a part of how they achieved these places.

This isn't fake work, it's the real thing. My fastest-cited paper ever was 1st authored by a 15yo girl. So, judging by citation rate, she outperformed all my adult co-authors!

At present, I've got several papers in draft or ideation stage that would be ideal for such a collaboration. If you know anyone who's interested in SRM and is keen to get a published paper on their CV, please let me know. I don't seek anything from this, other than normal academic credit.

I'm keen to hear from anyone, anywhere in the world. No experience or qualifications are necessary, just a tolerance for a fair bit of academic grafting.

For anyone under 16, I'd normally keep a parent cc into all comms, so no safeguarding questions arise. There is no requirement for any in-person meetings at any point, as all work is remote. There's no minimum age, but probably teens is a realistic starting point.

I hope you can recommend this opportunity to someone interested in an academic career - or at least a place on a leading university's undergraduate degree course.
