AI Thread Summary
PubMed is recognized for its extensive database of biomedical literature, prompting inquiries about similar resources for the arts and humanities. While the humanities do publish academic papers, they are often less centralized than scientific publications. Key platforms for accessing research in these fields include JSTOR, which offers a range of non-scientific content, and Google Scholar, a useful tool for finding scholarly articles across various disciplines. Additionally, arXiv serves as a preprint server primarily for physics and related fields, illustrating the diversity in publication platforms across different academic areas. Understanding the organization of research involves recognizing that while some fields have dedicated databases, others may require broader searches across multiple platforms to access relevant literature.

Ive just recently "discovered" pubmed and it is so amazing. I want to know if there is a kind of "pubmed for art humanities" or any other subject for that matter? Or do humanities even publish papers like the science community does? FOr example, where can I read papers on linguistics, or history, or drama or other subjects that aren't considered sciences?
Can someone provide just a really basic overview of how research and academic information is done or should be done, how its organized etc? Also what are the main go-to sites that I should be using? (for example, I've heard of "JSTOR" .. is that basically for anything non-science or something/?
thanks for any help
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Does "any other subject" include particle physics, astrophysics and several related fields?
arXiv - it is "just" a preprint server, but 100% of particle physics publications are uploaded there, so it became the standard website to search for publications (and things where the publication process is still ongoing). It works very well.
JSTOR has some open access content, but often you can just read the abstract without subscription.
 
Have you tried Google Scholar?
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
