Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions the meaning of "near by me," suggesting that the inquiry might pertain to visiting a physical location, while noting the prevalence of online availability.
  • Another participant suggests using a Google search with the format "Physics Journals in _______" to find relevant results based on geographic location.
  • A further contribution mentions that university or college libraries may have physical copies of journals like Physical Review, but many institutions have shifted to online subscriptions.
  • It is proposed that joining a national physics society, such as the American Physical Society (APS) or the American Institute of Physics (AIP), could provide access to various journals.

If your meaning is as Russ is guessing, you can use a Google search like this:

Physics Journals in _______

Just fill in the blank with your country, and you will get lots of hits. If your country is too large for that search, fill in your province/state/whatever to narrow the search.

A university/college library might have physics journals, such as Physical Review and related journals.

However, many institutions have dropped the paper journals in favor of online institutional subscriptions of many journals.

However, if one is studying physics, then one should probably join a national physics society such as American Physical Society (APS) or American Institute of Physics (AIP), in which case one would access to some journals.
