SUMMARY

The discussion centers on submitting articles to the American Journal of Physics (AJP) and the appropriate arXiv categories for pedagogical content in quantum computing and string theory. The author seeks advice on whether submissions to AJP typically accompany arXiv submissions and which specific arXiv categories are suitable for basic educational articles. Participants suggest reviewing past AJP issues and corresponding arXiv entries to identify relevant categories.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the American Journal of Physics submission guidelines
  • Familiarity with arXiv submission categories
  • Basic knowledge of quantum computing concepts
  • Awareness of string theory principles and terminology
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the American Journal of Physics submission process
  • Explore arXiv categories related to physics education and pedagogical articles
  • Review past AJP articles to identify common themes and submission practices
  • Investigate the relationship between AJP and arXiv submissions in the context of educational content
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, educators, and authors in physics, particularly those interested in submitting educational articles to journals and archives.

I apologize if this is not the proper forum for this question. But I can't think of a more relavant subforum and I know that people here have the experience necessary to answer my question.

I am working on two basic articles (one on quantum computing and one on th ecalculation fo scattering amplitudes in string theory) that I am planning to submit to the American Journal of Physics. There is nothing really new in these papers, just a repackaging of known results in a way that I consider is suitable for AmJPhys.
My question is this: do people submitting to AJP also submit their papers to the lanl archives? And if so, what would be the right archive to submit too for something pedagogical about string theory (with no new article)? It's too basic fro hep-th. It's not a physics education paper. It's not a research paper in quantum physics. Any suggestion?

Thank you!

I know I have seen AJP articles on the arxiv, but I can't remember under which headings.

Maybe you could look through some back issues of AJP for some interesting articles, and then seach the arxiv to see if the articles are also there.

Thanks George, that's a good idea.
