Yeah, I'm also interested in submitting a paper. I'm in a tight situation... my supervisor is really one-dimensional (I guess this is common for most students) and I want to submit a paper on work that he is not familiar with (but I am). I'm intending to submit a paper without letting him know, do you think this is the right thing to do? Obviously, my level of sophisticated language might not be up to my supervisor's level and I don't mind having it rejected, yet again I'm driving the project.

Is it also common for students around the world to team up, write and submit a paper?

Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers.
