Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around finding suitable conferences and journals for publishing papers related to cosmology. Participants explore the norms and practices surrounding submissions to conferences versus journals, as well as the importance of familiarity with relevant literature.
Discussion Character
- Debate/contested
- Technical explanation
Main Points Raised
- One participant requests a list of good conferences for publishing cosmology papers.
- Another participant suggests that typically, submissions to conference proceedings should follow attendance and contribution to the conference, recommending journals instead.
- A subsequent request for a list of cosmology journals is made.
- Participants mention specific journals such as the Astrophysical Journal, Astronomy & Astrophysics, and Nature/Science as common venues for cosmology papers, depending on the geographical context and significance of the results.
- There is a suggestion that authors should submit to journals they regularly read to ensure their work is unique and relevant.
- Another participant emphasizes the importance of reviewing prior works published in relevant journals to guide submission choices.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on the appropriateness of submitting to conferences versus journals, with no consensus on the best approach for the original poster's situation.
Contextual Notes
Limitations include the lack of specific criteria for what constitutes a "good" conference or journal, as well as the assumption that the original poster is not currently reading relevant literature.
