SUMMARY
The discussion centers on selecting an appropriate journal for submitting articles in High Energy Physics, specifically in formal theory. The user seeks advice on choosing between the Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP) and Physical Review D (PRD), noting that their article exceeds ten pages, thus excluding Physical Review Letters (PRL) as an option. Participants emphasize that both JHEP and PRD publish similar content, but perceptions of their prestige vary among senior professors and reviewers. The consensus indicates that while journal choice is important, citation impact ultimately holds greater significance.
PREREQUISITES
