    Idea Paper
Click For Summary
Finding conferences and understanding the publication process are critical steps for researchers. Before publishing a paper, it's essential to conduct thorough literature reviews to determine if the idea has already been explored. This involves using academic search engines like Google Scholar and accessing peer-reviewed journals. Many journals charge publication fees, which can be a surprise to new researchers. Communities and organizations such as the IEEE, American Physical Society, and others provide valuable resources and publications in various fields, including physics. It's emphasized that a solid understanding of existing literature is crucial for developing a publishable paper. Without this foundation, the likelihood of publication diminishes significantly. For those struggling to navigate the vast amount of information available online, it's recommended to focus on reputable journal databases and peer-reviewed articles. While original theories can emerge, they must be grounded in existing research to gain recognition. Lastly, aspiring researchers are encouraged to learn the basics of their field and broaden their knowledge base, as this foundational understanding is vital for future contributions to academia.

I don't understand what you mean, I don't know of any examples where MSc programs require a paper to be published. It's not impossible that an applicant would have a paper (a friend of mine spent a year interning in a lab after his undergrad and managed to get his name on a paper) and that would help but it's not a requirement.

Aditya, I do not know of any MSc. programs that demand a paper for awarding scholarships. I understand what it is like for you, but at this stage, I don't think you need worry about such things; stop worrying about how to be 'great'.

At this point in time, do your best to learn the basics of physics well. I recommend reading 'So you want to be a physicist?' by one of our members ZapperZ.

Besides doing your best to learn the fundamentals properly, try to learn about other subjects as well. Diversify your interests at this point and try to dip your feet in everything, not just physics, not just academia. I suspect you are from India and know that exposure to such things is limited. However, given your access to the internet, you should be able to find material on absolutely anything. Simply do your best, and the rest will follow.

If the above advice is too simple for you and you still think you have to publish papers, show your friends who's boss, prove that you're the next Einstein, you could look into the Physical Review. Section D focuses on gravitation and cosmology.

Good luck.
