Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around recommendations for international and European/American research competitions in astronomy and astrophysics, specifically for presenting research on variable stars and Active Galactic Nuclei. Participants share their experiences and seek advice on suitable competitions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Andii seeks recommendations for international research competitions to present work on variable stars and Active Galactic Nuclei, expressing a preference for online events but openness to in-person attendance.
  • One participant questions whether Andii has published work in reputable journals, suggesting that publication status may be relevant to competition eligibility.
  • Andii mentions plans to publish two research articles on variable stars in the Open European Journal on Variables Stars and notes having eight conference abstracts published.
  • Another participant points out that the Open European Journal on Variable Stars does not appear on Clarivate's Master Journal List, implying that it may not be considered a valid peer-reviewed publication by some standards.
  • Andii expresses interest in publishing in the AASP Advances in Astronomy and Space Physics Journal, hoping it will be recognized on Clarivate's Master Journal List.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the validity of the Open European Journal on Variables Stars as a reputable publication, and there are differing opinions on the importance of publication status for competition eligibility.

Contextual Notes

There is uncertainty regarding the criteria for what constitutes a reputable journal and how that impacts participation in research competitions.

TL;DR
Seeking international astronomy research competitions to present my research work. Prefer online options but open to in-person events. Recommendations appreciated.
Hello everyone, my name is Andii and I am new here. I know this may not be a relatable question to ask, but I hope someone can help me.
I have been searching for International/European and/or American astronomy and astrophysical research competitions for the past 5 months or so. I would like to present my research works on variable stars and other areas that interest me, such as Active Galactic Nuclei.

If anyone can recommend any research competitions where I can present my work and possibly win awards, I would be grateful. I would prefer to visit these competitions online, but I am also open to attending in-person events depending on their location.

I have already participated in the IAAC Olympiades, but it's not exactly what I am looking for. I am specifically looking for opportunities to present my research work. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Have you successfully published your work in any reputable journal?

I have a couple of different research projects and papers. I'm about to publish 2 research articles on variable stars in OEJV - Open European Journal on Variables Stars. And currently I'm working on another paper about Cataclysmic variable stars. So no, I have not published full research papers yet, but I already have 8 conference abstracts published in different journals.

Unfortunately, Open European Journal on Variable Stars(OEJV/ISSN 1801-5964) does not appear on Clarivate's Master Journal List, so references appearing in OJEV do not qualify as valid peer-reviewed publications on Physics Forums.

I was also planning to publish in AASP Advances in Astronomy and Space Physics Journal. Maybe this journal will appear on Clarivate's Master Journal List.
