Other Best journals in High Energy Physics (formal theory)

AI Thread Summary
When selecting a journal for submitting an article in High Energy Physics, particularly in formal theory, the choice between JHEP and Physical Review D (PRD) is significant. Both journals are recognized for publishing similar types of research, but perceptions of their prestige can vary among senior professors and potential reviewers. The article's length, exceeding ten pages, excludes PRL as an option. The discussion emphasizes the importance of aligning the paper's content with the journal's focus and the community's perception of each journal. While both JHEP and PRD are esteemed, the impact of citations is highlighted as a crucial factor in determining the article's success, suggesting that the journal's reputation may be secondary to the paper's reach and influence.

Hello, I request inputs about selecting a journal to submit an article in High Energy Physics. This is in formal theory as opposed to Particle Phenomenology. The article is more than ten pages so PRL is not an option. How would you choose between JHEP and Physical Review D? Which is rated higher by senior professors (and future reviewers). Are there other journals considered on par with JHEP and PRD.

Thank you in advance for your time and response.

Presumably you are reading those journals. Where does you paper better fit?
 
Thanks. Both journals seem to publish similar papers (according to me) so I thought I would find out how they are perceived by the community (or even by people in allied areas).
 
The journal matters less than the citations.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
