This site reaches an engaged, professional audience: researchers, engineers, PhD students, academics, and simulation practitioners. If you have something genuinely useful to say to that crowd, I will publish it here with a permanent dofollow backlink to your site.

Who Reads This Site

Traffic comes predominantly from Google searches on materials science, engineering simulation, DAMASK, ABAQUS, EBSD analysis, academic career advice, and scientific writing. The readership skews toward graduate students, postdocs, and early-career researchers — people who actually read what they click on.

Topics I Accept

I keep the editorial bar high but the topic range broad. Good-faith submissions on any of the following are welcome:

Engineering & simulation Materials science Academic career PhD & postdoc life Scientific writing Research tools & software Productivity for researchers Tech & data science Career transitions Higher education
Not accepted: Gambling, adult content, crypto speculation, pharmaceutical spam, AI-generated junk with no editorial voice, or anything that would embarrass a university professor to have on his site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum word count?

600 words minimum. 800–1,200 is the sweet spot. Longer is fine if the content justifies it — I will not pad thin articles with filler.

Is the backlink really permanent?

Yes. Posts are published on GitHub Pages and will remain live indefinitely. I do not unpublish paid content unless it violates the guidelines above.

Can I make edits after publication?

Minor corrections (typos, broken links) are free. Substantial rewrites or adding new backlinks after the fact are not included.

What gets rejected?

Articles that are clearly AI-generated with no editorial voice, thin content under 600 words, anything off-topic, and anything that would be embarrassing to associate with an academic's professional site.

Can I submit more than one post?

Yes. Repeat submissions are welcome. Each post is priced and reviewed independently.
