Journal Definition and 155 Threads

I'm in the middle of submitting a paper to the Journal of Applied Physics. When my figures are converted to pdf, they come out rotated by 90 degrees from what their orientation in the source fiel! Do I need to fix this? If so how? Please respond ASAP!

If I were to take published data from public NASA reports and printed Journal articles and sell the data (after doing some processing to it), would that be grounds for a lawsuit against me? I'm wouldn't be selling the article itself, but taking important data from articles over a span of 40...

"Government does not fund peer-reviewed journal articles—publishers do". That is the (IMHO rather outrageous) statement by Allan Adler, Association of American Publishers VP for government and legal affairs to the House Judiciary Committee last week regarding the...

Last year I was asked to serve as a referee for a journal for the first time. When I was asked, my adviser (I'm a 4-ish year grad student) said something to the effect of 'you can put that on your CV'. Now I'm updating my CV, and I'm not sure if he was serious or not. I know we're supposed to...

Hey, any ideas/input would be very helpful! Thanks! 1. It is sometimes said that water is removed from clothes during the spin cycle by centrifugal force throwing the water outward. Explain if this is correct by describing what centrifugal force is and how the spin cycle helps "dry out" the...

"Communicated by" in a journal article Out of curiosity, why would a journal article be communicated by someone other than the author (or even authors, in some cases that I've seen)?

I sent an article to ApJ for a while ago. This article is a summary of the results of my research in a relevant subject. It was sent 1,5 months ago. The answer from the editorial board so far is that it is in progress. How long does it usually tend to go from it is submitted until we get a...

Hello. Sorry, it's quite a double post with my previous one, but I hope you can help me. I found nearly impossible to retrieve very old articles from American Scientific Journals. At least the Physical Review has its own archive, for a terrible price of $ 20 per article. But I'm desperately...

Suppose one wants to publish an idea, a concept, an alternative interpretation about a topic in relativity and that the article contains few (say 10 % of the text part) equations, what would be the most appropriate journals ?
