Publishing academic papers in Theoretical Physics without a university affiliation is feasible, as demonstrated by experiences shared in the forum. Authors have successfully published in reputable journals such as Review of Scientific Instruments and The Physics Teacher while listing their consulting companies as affiliations. The lack of a university affiliation has not hindered the editorial or peer-review process for these authors. Creating a fictitious consulting business name is also a viable option for establishing a research affiliation.
PREREQUISITESIndependent researchers, theoretical physicists, and academics seeking to publish without institutional affiliation will benefit from this discussion.
Manphysics said:Thank you very much; I'm concerned because, for a Theoretical physicists, being outside universities means no affiliation at all. I'd publish as a person.
