Some sources of information and advice for PG students

• An online LaTeX reference and a LaTeX help service. More LaTeX resources are listed by Rodney Topor.
• A quick guide to finding computer science research papers on the web.
• Ian Parberry's A Guide for New Referees in Computer Science. This includes good brief writing advice as well as details about the publication process.
• The Computer Science Association of Australasia's guidelines for ethical practice of research.
• The Australian Vice-Chancellor Committee's Guidelines on Research Practice. For more information see the AVCC home page.
• Marie desJardins's How to be a Good Graduate Student/Advisor.
• Steven L. Kleiman and Glenn P. Tesler's Writing a math phase two paper. It is directed at MIT mathematics students, but includes much good advice about mathematical writing (although some of the recommendations relate to American English rather than Australian English).
• The Reference Shelf.
• More dictionaries.
• Bill Walsh's The Slot, a guide to copy editing.
• Jack Lynch's Resources for writers and writing instructors.
• alt.usage.english FAQ.
• John Bartlett's Familiar Quotations.
• Quotations home page.
• Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable.
• Project Gutenberg Home Page
• Resources for Teachers of English for Science and Technology
• Jonathan Shewchuk's Three sins of authors in computer science and maths
• Ian Parberry's How to Present a Paper in Theoretical Computer Science
• A standard set of proofreading marks, in PostScript or in html
• David S. Johnson's paper on good experimental computer science
• Mark Leone's (mleone@cs.cmu.edu) how-to page, a collection of advice about how to do research and how to communicate effectively (primarily for computer scientists).
• Justin Zobel's Reliable Research: Towards Experimental Standards for Computer Science, Proceedings of the Australasian Computer Science Conference, February 1998, Perth Australia, pp 217-229.

And here's an old document of unknown origin on scientific communication.

And here's a list of lists from Jenny Wang (a student of Joe Goguen). Much of the advice here is related to the US, and I haven't vetted it in detail, but I thought I'd add it for possible reference.

Genealogy

There's also a missing line which goes: Walters, Hanna Neumann, Olga Taussky-Todd, Furtwangler, Klein, Lipschitz, Dirichlet, Poisson, Fourier, Lagrange, Euler and the Bernoulli's, as well as providing yet another line to Gauss.
