SUMMARY

Alex seeks affordable physics journals or magazines that provide credible information and research without the high subscription costs, specifically avoiding options like Scientific American and New Scientist due to their perceived lack of evidence. Recommendations include subscribing to "Physics Letters," which offers a student discount at approximately £60 per year, and accessing "Physics Today," which is available free with an American Physical Society membership costing around $100. These options provide a balance of current news and technical content suitable for students in physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of academic journal subscriptions
  • Familiarity with physics disciplines and terminology
  • Knowledge of student discount programs
  • Awareness of professional societies in physics, such as the American Physical Society
NEXT STEPS
  • Research subscription details for "Physics Letters" and its student discounts
  • Explore membership benefits of the American Physical Society
  • Investigate "Physics Today" and its availability without membership
  • Compare other affordable physics journals and magazines for students
USEFUL FOR

Students pursuing physics, educators in the field, and anyone interested in accessing credible and affordable scientific literature in physics.

I am looking to subscribe to a physics journal/magazine which doesn't cost me 6000 a year, and that will keep me informed with cutting edge news on general physics and latest research papers being published, as well as having a good deal of proof in there. I am taking my last school year and probably heading towards an energetic engineering physics course next year.

Scientific american/new scientist... type magazines I just feel have to much bluf and to little evidence in them, they simply state things, most of the time simply out of nowhere and some times there are just utterly disturbing articles, which simply aim to be some kind of bogey man of science. I was told that there was a special online discount subscription to "physics letters" journal with a special discount for students that came out at about 60 pounds a year, I'm Spanish, so costs will have to be thought of as international ¿Anyone know anything about that? I've been looking but can't seem to find it.

Thanks in advance,
Alex.

NB: mods, a didn't know were to put this, so if you feel it isn't in the right place,feel free to move it.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Go to your local university library and look at Physics Today. It covers news and current topics throughout physics disciplines. It is general interest but technical. It comes free with a subscription to the American Physical Society, which is somewhat more than $100, and maybe is available without the membership for less. In any case, <<$6000.
