Main Points Raised
- The original poster (OP) expresses uncertainty about how to submit their theory as a technical paper to a scientific journal, specifically mentioning a preference for Elsevier.
- One participant suggests contacting the journal directly to inquire about the submission process.
- Another participant notes that scientific journals typically provide "instructions to authors" that detail submission requirements, emphasizing the importance of following these guidelines closely.
- A further comment advises the OP to seek feedback from a sympathetic professor, suggesting that the quality of scientific writing differs significantly from other types of writing.
- One participant expresses skepticism about the OP's discovery, implying that asking for help may indicate a lack of viability in the theory presented.
- Another participant confirms the existence of submission guidelines on the Elsevier website, providing a link for reference.
- A later reply suggests locking the thread since the OP's question has been addressed, indicating a desire to conclude the discussion.
