Exciting times for Origin of Life enthusiasts. There have been three recent publications that are relevant to origin of life issues. They are: A) The moon forming impact may have gotten plate tectonics started early. A Giant Impact Origin for the First Subduction on Earth Open access from...

I read about the following publication, claiming to be the shortest ever: Sommer, Thomas, and Hipple, Phys. Rev. 80, 487 (1950). It made me recall another unsual paper by Feynman, containing only a single equation in its main text: and I wonder whether other people can recall analogous...

Source memo News report - the link goes to an archived version in order to have free access (...) Apart from minor exceptions: If the research is at least partially funded by the US government, then from 2026 on publications have to be freely accessible without embargo period. This won't...

Public Health England are being/are replaced by Health Security agency Latest publication below. Very similar format to PHE https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1023849/Vaccine_surveillance_report_-_week_40.pdf Vaccine uptake by age...

Why did ancient publications so often start with 'on'? E.g. on the theory of... Why didn't they regard 'on' as redundant if all publications started with the same word, like emails starting with 'about' or 'on'?

Summary:: What are the most important physics publications in history according to you? thanks in advance :)

Good Day, I am the parent of a first year undergraduate physics student and I was thinking of gifting him a Physics magazine subscription for Christmas but I've come across several (primarily Physics Today and Physics World). Is there one you would recommend in particular? Also we are in Canada...

Hi all, I will try not to extend too much, but basically I have been in a horrible situation for the last months and I am starting to get a bit desperate/anxious. I submitted my PhD thesis on Theoretical Physics in December 2017, and since then, I have been unable to find a position anywhere...

The Particle Data Group keeps a running, subject matter organized summary of the state of the art experimental results for the experimentally measured properties of hadrons and measurements of fundamental physical constants that is updated at least annually. Is there any comparable group that...

Only for papers in INSPIRE-HEP. Vertical axis are citations. Downloads measured during the six-month period from september 2015 to Feb 2016 (afaik no more recent data is available, is it?) excluding duplicate IPs of the same paper. stats "corr.txt" using 1:2 Linear Model: y = 1.782 x + 674.3...

Hi PF! I am about to submit a publication, but as of now I think I am listed as second author (the only authors on this paper are my adviser and me). Is there a substantial difference between second author vs. co-author? Also, my adviser wrote the majority of the manuscript, though I wrote...

Hello! I read several times that those at CERN observe a new particle with a precision of 3-3.5 sigma and overnight (more or less) hundreds of papers in theoretical physics appear explaining the role of that particle and all its physics implication and after a while CERN announces that there was...

Hello, I am a second year PhD student. Recently I got rejected from a scholarship opportunity where candidates are judged on a 9.0 scale on three areas: 1) Academic Excellence 2) Leadership 3) Research Potential. In the results, I scored 6.5 in Academic Excellence and 4.5 in Leadership but a...

This summer I did some research and had positive results but my part contributed to a small portion of the big grant. My PI told me we could submit to some "side" journals to get publications but I am not sure if this is necessary because the admission committees will see my poster I created...

As far as the typing, data analysis, graphing, etc

Questions for all the professors on this site: Have you ever been approached by an undergrad for a research position who has already read at least a few of your published works and has a very basic understanding of their contents? How does this student look in your eyes? Does it creep you out...

I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm a physics student studying QM at the graduate level. I'm aware that "nobody truly understands QM" but I'd like to get as much insight and intuition as possible. Textbooks are good for learning to solve problems and learning the...

Hi, I'm just wondering what are the minimum requirements for an international publication/conference/proceedings. E.g. impact factor

My knowledge of good physics news websites is lacking. As of now, I regularly check PF, physicsworld.com, scientific american and NSF but that is it. What I am looking for is a website which basically sorts through publications for me and shows the most interesting physics/math publications...

I've just started an undergrad maths course in the UK and I'm interested in trying out some maths publications/journals. I've always enjoyed reading science magazines in general (ie. New Scientist, Scientific American) and now that I'm at University I feel now could be a good time to move onto...

Do they do them only when they make a complete original idea? or can it be anything? I know the question isn't very informative but please be detailed about everything about publications and when and how they publish?

I have raised this question, and got one interesting answer: 'should obama get money for every newspaper story about him?' However, I don't think that's a good analogy. I would personally think writing a book and getting money for it is more analogous to having a paper that you fully wrote on...

Hey does anyone know where I can access some of these either for free or if my school has a subscription then I can access them on their network. I will be joining a research group soon on the simulation of heat transfer in a tokamak and would like to be up to date with the literature.

Hi, I saw a few posts similar to this one but I think my question is slightly different. I'm a second-year CS undergraduate who just coauthored a short paper (2 pages) to a conference that has an average-ish reputation; it's been accepted. I did a significant amount of work for this paper, so...

Hello, I you plan to buy a book on Amazon, you can read comments by previous readers. These comments, together with the book preview, are quite useful. At the least, reviews could decrease the risk of a wrong purchase or of a waste of time. Wouldn't it be useful to also have the...

Hi, I am a Physics Major, last summer I did a project in a professor's lab the project produced a paper the professor and post-doc put my name in the author section (not first or second) So my question is, is it OK (appropriate) to put the paper under 'Publications' under my resume? I...

Hi, I' am wondering If someone knows a reference for a full/complete list of John von Neumanns publications. I have been unable to find one, but something like that should really exist right? thanks for the help in advance Oh and I am not sure whether this is the right subforum, but it...

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Dover redid their Math and Science section. It's only somewhat aesthetic, but it looks like they're trying to really get it going. Store http://store.doverpublications.com/by-subject-science-and-mathematics.html" They added a "Math and...

I was wondering this today. has it almost become necessary to have publications to get into grad school? I was talking to a grad student today who got denied by state schools with a 3.5 or 3.6 GPA, and no publications. I have plenty of research experience but as of yet have no publications. will...

it's been said on the lab today that maybe the lab work we're doing (i'm an undergrad, 4th year of physics) could be honed into a publication.. my lab partner was really excited about it, but i had my doubts because i don't know what are the future consequences of doing this. i never trust...

If i have three or four papers pending publication, review, rejection to another journal etc (a process out my control) and these papers depend on each other for clarification then how do you reference them to each other ? can you reference to a pending publication such as a repository held...

So I was recently informed by a professor whose lab I worked in that the resulting paper had been published in Physics Review E, with me as second author. I get the impression this is a journal with low to no standards, although no hard evidence to support that. In my opinion the paper itself...

My work is now almost complete and though I have yet to decide if I shall be writing it all up as a book or submit it to physics publications, I'll decide that as I write everything out and polish it up, but my question is, if I decide to go with physics publications is it okay to submit to many...

I thought it would be interesting to start a thread organizing a list of **only** refereed publications on Loop/Canonical QG. I suppose this could evolve into a more structured or organized thread? I believe someone asked elsewhere about refereed publications on Loop/Canonical QG. I just include...

I stumbled across the following list of Einstein's papers... Somebody asked a related question on this forum recently...and this would help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientific_publications_by_Albert_Einstein Is there a better place to post this?? Can it be posted in the...

Dear friends, I am in my last year of my PhD and I want something that I really should have done a long time ago, I need some kind of database software so I can easily organize and find the many PDF articles that I have on my computer. I know that there are probably several out there I would...

I am conducting ongoing academic research & am in the process of re-organising my University affiliation. At present, I have no access to a good research library facility, with access to Journal Publications. Would anyone know of university libraries which can be joined by someone who is...

Does anyone here do LQCD? If so do you have any recommendations on books concerning its development and use? Or publications with decent overviews? I'm at the grad level currently, learning gauge theory, qcd/qed/field theory still, but have a decent background in lattice/crystallographic...

How much of a problem is to have a Phd advisor who hasn't published anything in area/field A for over a decade where A is the field I like to do the Phd in?

At this moment I am typing up my resume for an engineering career fair coming up this week. I lost my resume doc from last year, so I have to type it up from scratch and memory. The old one was pretty standard like objective, education, experience etc. I did some volunteer undergrad research...

Publications on the evolution of stars? Can anyone suggest a book that goes into detail on the evolution stars? I very much enjoyed as much as was discussed in Kip Thorne's Black Holes book and would like to read more about stars.

Do any of you subscribe to any particular physics publication?

Here are the publications of Ed Witten before 1980. I have used a small typeface for non single author publications. It is very interesting to remark the training of elementary particle theory, and to wonder how many of their "followers" can claim it. Nucl.Phys.B104:445-476,1976. Heavy Quark...

Hello, I was curious if there are any other sites similar to arXiv.org that store and allow free access for articles in physics. Thanks. - Alex

WARNING: Long spiel ahead full of boring personal details. Skip to (***) for the question I have. With the beginning of the Fall term, I'll be in the fourth year of a five year undergraduate program in Engineering Physics in the Engineering school and Philosophy and Mathematics in liberal...

I'm not sure where to post this, but here is as good a place as any. I'm an undergrad astrophysics major. I've done some research with professors during the past 2 summers. My name is on 3 papers for professional astronomy/astrophysics journals, one of which I've personally written. Two have...

I have just read in a news@nature (http://www.nature.com/news/2004/040726/full/040726-16.html) a column by Phillip Ball on the paper of Sidney Redner (http://xxx.arxiv.org/abs/physics/0407137), who have studied the statistics of citations from all Physical Review journals for the 110-year...

Hello, I think it's interesting to post here some interesting publications or pre-publication links related to String and Brane. http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0306136 Title: On Superplanckian Scattering on the Brane Authors: A.V. Kisselev 3 Transplanckian collision on the brane In the...
