#103Take a look at academia.edu. It's basically a social network for the academia. Researchers can post their papers and follow other people's work.
Yes. I have an account there. Saw either in their newsletter or on their site recently, that they say some X0 million people (researchers) are using it.

#104I know this question is probably a little off topic for this post but I'm very eager to get some kind of answer. What should I be reading? I'm a computer science student, I want to go into a "Software Engineering" line of work. Are there any places to read up on related topics? I have yet to find something that interests my direct field of choice. Is there one on in academia writing about software? I also like NLP an…
I'll suggest a minority position: If you feel the need to keep up at the bleeding edge of your field, your work is probably replaceable, i.e., if you didn't do it then someone else would do it a year later. Instead, read more review papers and seminal papers in your field.
If everyone thought like that, there'd be no bleeding edge. :)

#106Making friends with the professors in your field at the best local university, and keeping an open line of communication with them can be helpful.

#107Google alerts. Just insert the journalist or topic names that you're most interested in. Does an incredible job of not only research papers but of informing you pre-publisihing, which has advantages.

#108There should be something like reddit for academic papers. With upvotes and what not. But I guess it takes people longer to read a paper than to read reddit content.
pretty sure this is reddit, just make a subreddit for the topic and then start feeding it.

#109I wrote http://www.arxiv-sanity.com/ (code is open source on github: https://github.com/karpathy/arxiv-sanity-preserver ) as a side project intended to mitigate the problem of finding newest relevant work in an area (among many other related problems such as finding similar papers, or seeing what others are reading) and it sees a steady number of few hundred users every day and a few thousand accounts. It's meant to…
it is very helpful

#110Write one influential paper. Then all the later papers in the same sub-subfield probably cite your paper. Go to Google Scholar and check the latest citations to your paper. Ok, it doesn't need to be your paper. Just find a paper that was so influential that others working on the same problem probably will cite it, and monitor the new citations.
Huh, that seems so obvious in retrospect. This is basically how I've grown into jazz. I find someone I like, find out who they played with, who those folks played with, and so on.
