SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the challenges faced by a researcher seeking to publish unconventional physics discoveries. The individual has encountered automatic rejections from established journals, including Foundations of Physics, despite having a mathematically sound proof. Participants in the forum are encouraged to recommend journals that are more open to non-standard submissions and provide serious consideration to unconventional research.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the peer review process in academic publishing
  • Familiarity with physics journals and their submission guidelines
  • Knowledge of unconventional research methodologies in physics
  • Awareness of academic networking and outreach strategies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research journals that focus on unconventional physics, such as "Journal of Unconventional Science"
  • Explore submission guidelines for "Physical Review Letters" and "Europhysics Letters"
  • Investigate platforms for preprint submissions like arXiv.org
  • Learn about academic networking strategies to connect with editors and peers
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in physics, academics seeking publication in unconventional journals, and anyone interested in navigating the complexities of academic publishing in non-traditional fields.

I'm in a very strange situation. I haven proven something to be the case that was very unexpected, and I am having a hard time getting people to take me seriously, especially people at physics journals. It is actually something objectively true, like a mathematical proof, but I keep getting automatic rejections without serious considerations.

Can anyone suggest a journal that might publish. Ironically what I did was the opposite of flakey, but I think that my best hope is a journal that publishes things that might be a bit unconventional. I, of course, do not want some crackpot place.

(I already tried Foundations of Physics)

So I would greatly appreciate it if people could recommend journals easier to get published in and/or journals not afraid to take chances on non-standard things.

Thanks.

So your rejection letters say "this is an automatic rejection, without giving your paper suitable consideration"? If not, what did they say?

The usual advice is to send the article that you write to the same journals that you read regularly. Which ones are those?
