Amateurs looking to propose articles for publication can consider submitting their work to platforms like the Independent Research forum, which allows for feedback on drafts. It's important to understand that all submissions, regardless of the author's qualifications, must meet the same review standards, meaning that M.Sc. holders are held to the same quality as Ph.D. authors. Engaging with forums for feedback can be a valuable step before formal submission. Patience is advised, as ensuring the work meets publication criteria is crucial.

Until now I didn't try; but thanks for the suggestion; I think I shall try as soon as my work will be ready and corresponding to the imposed conditions... (so don't be in a hurry!)
 

Thread 'Pre-req for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?)'

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
