phd帮老板review 文章、写proposal，有啥帮助吗

小弟cs phd在读，老板是华人，平时meeting只问project的进展和结果，细节懒得过问。

然后，有事没事给我发要审稿的文章让我写review comments，然后他根据我的comments决定是否据稿。因为是顶会的文章，所以要读好多遍才能写comments。最近还让我写一个funding 的proposal 初稿。

想问一下，写这些乱七八糟的，对以后有帮助吗？大家平时都有这些杂事吗？

you have to be a reviewer (receive the email from journal editor) to get the credit, not just reviewing papers for your advisor, e.g. you need to have the thank you letter from the editor after reviewing the paper, otherwise, you don't get credit

but of course, this is kind of practice if you like...

Yes, it is really useful. The number of papers you reviewed is an important metric for EB1.
And when you become a professional researcher in an academic or industrial lab, writing a proposal becomes a daily work routine.
My supervisor submitted 20-30 proposals each year.

But for Phd program, the most important task is publication and thesis......................

This is a quite good academic training. Sooner or later, you need to become a good reviewer to be successful in academia. And it requires practice to learn how to write a good review.

Being able to write a solid and objective review also helps you write a good paper. Just consider this as some practice and a chance to read some most recent papers.
Reviewing papers and drafting proposals are part of life in academia. You will be assigned as the reviewers officially by the PCs once you become senior. Before that, just focusing on how to improve your research taste, how to be a good reviewer, and learn things.

Sometimes it doesn't have to be 'useful' before deciding to do something.

如果以后走学术路线的话肯定是有用的。

还是挺有有帮助的。review的情况应该常见，但是proposal不多见

不管有没有用，这都是每一个博士必做的内容。不过细节懒得问 就不合理了。难道他比较忙？

不管你是工作还是学术界，你申绿卡EB-1的时候，都需要你提供证明自己学术贡献的材料，你审文章就算一个

谢谢，但是我老板让我们审的文章，他自己是审稿人，但是他要审的文章多，所以他不看，让我们看，写comments，然后根据我们的comments 决定是否据稿，实际上，没有任何文件证明我们审过文章，因为文章不是直接发到我们手上的。

不能证明自己是审稿的就有点尴尬了，攒点经验给自己将来当老板用，然后focus 自己发文章。

申EB1的话是有用的

如果没有审稿证明，就能拖就拖吧。proposal对于你走学术道路有长远帮助，短期直接帮助没有。EB1的审稿要求20篇有证明的，所以但凡能留下点材料证明都是好的。
