Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to find conferences for publishing academic papers, with a focus on the importance of conducting literature searches to determine the originality of research ideas. Participants explore various resources and platforms for research, the challenges of distinguishing credible sources, and the necessity of understanding the publication process in academia.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest that having a paper ready for publication requires prior research to ensure the idea is original and not already published.
  • There is a discussion about the necessity of using scholar search engines like Google Scholar to find existing literature.
  • Concerns are raised about the existence of publication fees in some journals, with examples provided.
  • Participants express frustration over the difficulty of finding trustworthy sources and the overwhelming number of websites claiming to provide valid research.
  • Some participants emphasize the importance of conducting thorough literature searches before attempting to publish, suggesting that a lack of familiarity with this process may indicate that a paper is not ready for submission.
  • Several academic organizations related to physics are mentioned as resources for publication and research information.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the importance of conducting literature searches and understanding the publication process. However, there are differing views on the necessity of this research before writing a paper, with some participants arguing that it is essential while others express reluctance or inability to invest time in this process.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention various academic societies and journals, but there is no consensus on which specific resources are the most reliable or accessible. The discussion reflects a range of experiences and levels of familiarity with academic publishing.

But for case of acquiring scholarship in most of M.sc programs requires a paper atleast in undergraduate level,then how are they expecting a paper from undergraduate level who can't spend years of time on research.
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.
