Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the accessibility and identification of the journal "Annals of Physics (NY)", including inquiries about specific articles and the relationship between different journal titles. Participants explore the nuances of journal naming conventions and access issues.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks access to the journal "Annals of Physics (NY)" and mentions difficulties in finding articles at university libraries.
  • Another participant questions whether "Annals of Physics (NY)" is the same as the journal published by Elsevier and claims to have electronic access.
  • A different participant expresses uncertainty about whether "Ann. Phys." and "Ann. Phys. (NY)" refer to the same journal, noting that they found an article under "Ann. Phys." and suggests they may be the same.
  • One participant asks if a specific reference exists in the Elsevier version of "Ann. Phys." and speculates that Elsevier may have taken over publication from Academic Press.
  • A later reply confirms the ability to access the requested reference.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on whether "Ann. Phys." and "Ann. Phys. (NY)" are distinct journals or the same. There are varying claims about access and publication history.

Contextual Notes

There is ambiguity regarding the naming conventions of the journals and the specifics of their publication history, which may affect access and identification of articles.

Does anyone here have access to, or know the web address of, the Journal known as "Annals of Physics (NY)"? I've been unable to find an article from that journal, despite the fact that I've looked in the libraries of 2 universities. In NY.

Is this the Annals of Physics published by Elsevier? If so, I have electronic access.
 
I'm not sure if that's the one. I saw the reference in a book I'm studying from. For some references he says, "Ann. Phys." and for others he says, "Ann. Phys. (NY)". He had me thinking that it was 2 different journals. However, I've just looked for my article in plain old "Ann. Phys.", and it was there. So they must be the same thing.

Just out of curiosity, in the Elsevier Ann. Phys., does the following reference exist?

Jaffe, Lesniewski, and Lewenstein
Ground State Structure in Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
Ann. Phys. (NY) 178 (1987) 313-329

If so then it looks like Elsevier took it over from Academic Press, which is the publisher of the hardcopy I found.

Thanks,

Tom
 
From what I understand "Ann Phys (NY)" refers to Annals of Physics, while "Ann Phys (Leipzig)" refers to Annalen der Physik.

Yes, I can pull this reference up.
