SUMMARY

The discussion centers on submitting a paper focused on particle physics, specifically neutrinoless double beta decay, while also introducing innovations in logic, linguistics, and mathematics, including a proposed new axiom for ZFC. The author lacks an academic degree and prior publications, raising concerns about the suitability of traditional physics journals for their interdisciplinary work. Participants recommend contacting professionals in the field for guidance and researching journals that have published similar works to identify appropriate submission venues.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of particle physics, particularly neutrinoless double beta decay.
  • Familiarity with Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (ZFC) and its axioms.
  • Knowledge of interdisciplinary research approaches, especially in logic and linguistics.
  • Awareness of academic publishing standards and practices.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research journals that publish interdisciplinary papers in physics and mathematics.
  • Learn about the submission guidelines for journals focusing on particle physics.
  • Contact professionals or academics in particle physics for advice on publication.
  • Explore the impact of linguistic analysis in scientific theory exposition.
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, aspiring authors in physics and mathematics, and individuals interested in interdisciplinary academic publishing.

I have just finished writing a paper that deals with particle physics (primarily neutrinoless double beta decay), but also introduces certain innovations to important concepts in logic, linguistics, and mathematics. (For example, I propose that a new axiom be added to ZFC.) It is not a long paper, and condenses a very large amount of material into relatively few pages. The linguistic component is really pivotal to a rigorous exposition of my theory, though I'm afraid it might seem extraneous to the editor of a physics journal. To make matters more interesting, I might add that I do not have an academic degree in any of the aforementioned disciplines, nor am I previously published. What I'm looking for here is some advice on where I should submit the thing. Thanks.

We suggest that you contact a professional in the area to seek such an advise. Alternatively, you should pay attention to the publications that you used in developing you work and seek out the journals that they were published in.

Further discussion on this matter is not allowed per the intent of the PF Rules on speculative, personal theories.
