Hi. My paper has just been accepted by PRD. Can I still submit this manuscript to arXiv? Will this action violate any copyright? Thanks.

Is the International Journal of Cosmology, Astronomy and Astrophysics (IJCAA) (https://madridge.org/journal-of-cosmology-astronomy-and-astrophysics) a respectable journal? I received from them an invitation, and it looks like a journal that could fit for something I would like to publish...

Hello! I read a few papers from the journal Science and I see that they are written in 3 columns format. However when I opened the latex template from their website it appears to be just one column. Can someone who submitted there before help me understand what is the right format and if it is...

I was about to post in a thread about a referenced article, when all references to it were deleted by the moderators because it was from a predatory journal. I was wondering what other people found to be red flags.

Many ancient journals were scanned into PDF files. What I don't know is how could these pages become mark-able and search-able? They should only be images.

I get the Audio of the Wall St Journal every day. They had a surprising and excellent story on breakthrough cases. The bottom line is the US is seeing very few - even with Delta. The full story is behind a paywall, but non-subscribers can view some of it here...

Hi PF! Do you know which bibliography style Journal of Engineering Math is? One example is attached. The template they provide for publishing does not specify, and the editor said to consult previous publications. After googling for an hour, I don't know where to turn. I could always email an...

A year ago, I asked a question about two journals, both of which were predatory ( https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-open-access-journals-legit-for-my-cv.990744/ ). Thanks to the overwhelming advice I have received, I did NOT publish in either of those journals. Right now I am asking a...

As I've stated many times before, I was a social science major in college, so this is not my thing. . .I ask, because I've seen it referred to that way by sources I cannot verify (random internet chat). Figured I could get quick answer here that is trustworthy. I also ask, because I'll...

Basic zero clearance friction-less model of a crank journal turning with an attached bar on that journal. Bar moves up and down in Sine fashion, components of journal Velocity vector change accordingly (showing clockwise rotation here), and Velocity of the attached bar only has a Y component (up...

Would need to know radial clearance, recommended viscosity of oil and babbit alloy of the journal bearings of a gear reducer of following dimensions and specifications: 1400 HP 22300 RPM input 6400 RPM output Journal diameter of input bearings 2 in, length 3 in, 2 bearings Journal diameter of...

Hi folks, This time is not a book, I would like to know if exists a journal explaining how a qubit is actually built, I mean the hardware not the theory. Indeed I am interested in any hardware related with these technologies. I know this field is still in an early stage and they are still...

I am trying to analyze the static stresses on a bronze bushing in a journal bearing if I was to use that journal bearing as a support for a cantilevered shaft. All the equations I have for contact stresses on the bushing suggest a uniformly distributed load across the entire bushing, which would...

A physicist I know submitted his article to Physics Review Letters, and the article was rejected. In the rejection letter, PRL sent him the two reviews upon which the judgment was based. OK, the normal reaction would be to do a bit of appropriate revising and try another journal, maybe one...

Hi, I was wondering of those who might write papers in this field. What is the convention of units in plasma physics papers, and is this often all screwed around and you have to already understand it to understand it? I'll give you an example, because I am looking at this paper to understand...

A physicist I know is looking to publish a paper on a special case of the Navier-Stokes equation; he submitted it to Physics Review Letters, who rejected it for two reasons: (1) it was too specialized, so not suitable for the broad readership that PRL targets, and (2) the physicist had made used...

I'm not sure where to post this, so I figured Academic Guidance is the best fit for the question. Here is their main page: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/galaxiesHere is a paper published in it on the Sagnac effect in the context of relativity...

For the first time in my lime I am not able to find home page for well-known and respected western periodical. I am looking for the paper titled «Définition covariante des équilibres thermodynamiques» by J. M. Souriau published in Supp. Nuovo Cimento, 1, I , 4 (1966) pp. 203-216 (given the fact...

Hi all, I'm an undergraduate Physics major looking to jump into Planetary. Through either a reasonably priced subscription, or free, and in paper or online, what would you suggest as a journal or professional level news aggregate for me to get the latest updates and literature in planetary...

dear physicts I am searching about a journal to submit my article my article contains a big table (3 column and 3000 rows) I found: Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables Nuclear Data Sheets but Impact Factor of these two journals are low (about 2) I want a same journal but by High Impact...

Hi to all, A proposal of mine, that purports to enable faster-than-light communication, has been accepted (a few months ago) by an esteemed peer-reviewed physics journal: Pramana, Indian Academy of Sciences. The article will appear in January. The PDF of the accepted version is attached...

The Wall Street Journal is definitely interested in space debris - dead satellites, boosters, etc. - as they've run a number of stories on this topic over the past few years. E.g. Wikipedia has a link to a story from 2009 as one of the footnotes to their article on space debris, plus a web...

Ok, so this is an undergraduate level question probably but consider this R. C. Hibbeler's Textbook on Mechanics of Materials says this about thrust bearings and smooth journal Bearings : In other words, it says nothing about reaction moments. Now this chart has other 2D connection types...

Hi All, I would like to know which are the journals of mathematics that publish papers on geometric constructions. Most of the journals on geometry I have found tends to an analytic approach. Best wishes, DaTario

The international Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control. It has an Impact Factor of around 4, but what's the perception? Is it respected? Is it considered a good journal? There isn't a qualitative judgment online. My boss seems to look down on it, but it has a good impact factor.

Is there anywhere we can rate each (scientific) journals? Publication ethics is for both sides. Not only authors should follow some ethics, but editors should also follow. There are some journal editors not following praction ethics.

Hello, I have a paper about braneworld. I am not very experience about journal of physics. I am only one paper at physical review D. My paper was rejected by the editor of International Journal of Modern Physics D . Someone suggest me a journal for submit my paper?, Where it's not too...

I am writing a paper. I am looking for a journal that: -Accepts theoretical physics papers -Is reputable -Peer reviews submitted papers -Will not charge me very much in terms of a publishing fee (or any other fees) -I keep the copyright on my paper An online only journal is fine. Does anyone...

I have done a fundamental research about relativity but i can't find right journal or conference. can anyone help me?

I am looking for a small journal to submit my recent paper. I hope it can 1. have printed version 2. free of publication fee (therefore all IEEE journals are out) 3. listed on SCI It does not matter which country does it belong to. Nor do I mind whether is it small or not. Has anyone any...

Or will there be a good chance of it being stolen?

Hello everyone,I am a mechanical engineering student and yesterday I convinced my professor to work on a project where it will be published in a journal about one year from now.I really don't know where to start as there are countless of highy-respected researches at top universities such as...

Hi everyone, good day to you. A friend and I think that the process of writing a papers (especially in sciences and maths) are rather troublesome due to the following reason: 1. Long journal review process 2. Selection of papers to be published are not transparent, a few negative reviews can...

I think I have an interesting thing to say on the foundation of classical mechanics and I wonder what would be the best journals to submit a work on that topic.

Papers from this journal a being quoted by a guy that refutes relativity. I know right red flag, lots of pros here so I thought if someone would vouch for this journal it might save me time trying to critique the papers. The editorial board has editors from all around the world, there...

Which is the best theoretical Physics Journal of year 2015 ?

Say we have an elevator moving through deep space at a constant velocity. We have a light emitter at the "top" of the elevator pointing towards a detector at the bottom of the elevator. We shine the light and notice that the frequency at which the light was emitted at the top is the same as...

Not sure if this was posted but I came across a fairly recent online journal specializing on Quantum foundations that some might find interesting: http://www.ijqf.org/wps/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IJQF-flyer1.pdf http://www.ijqf.org/ Some topics issues that will be published/discussed...

Hi, I was interested in collecting around 3 very nice chemistry journal articles to use as example/inspiration for students writing lab reports. I thought I would ask here before wandering my libraries' archives for a few hours.

I'm a first year physics undergraduate. I'm trying to look for some research opportunities as becoming a physicist is always my target. However, I simply have no idea how the current research is going on, and before I approach any professors I guess I should already have some basic understanding...

I recently submitted a paper to a respectable journal. After submission, I discovered a few errors in my paper, one of which is quite serious. I have the corrected expressions and plots and I've checked that they are in agreement with the overall theory (as presented in other papers). My...

I have discovered a theory related to the anomaly and uncertainty prevailing after the discovery of Unified Field Theory. But I don't know what to do with the theory. I have learned that the theories are submitted as technical paper to the scientific journal, but how do I submit the paper to the...

Sigh. A couple of days ago my first paper got rejected. The editors claimed that " the experts we consulted felt that the paper is not suitable for the journal". A few days later I wrote them back requesting them to elaborate on where my paper had failed to meet their expectations and that any...

Homework Statement I am not sure if this goes here but I am doing research on solar panels and am confused on some of the physics in a particular scientific journal I am reading. More specifically I am having trouble with the equations on the last part of page 1 and the entire second page. I...

Hello everyone, I recently finished my PhD and I have started publishing my new results. I have a very good paper that builds the background for several others. I submitted the paper to the 2nd important journal in my field and after 2 months none of the 3 reviewers responded and the journal...
