Tips on being an amateur scientist?
    #9154535 - 10/29/08 02:54 PM (15 years, 5 months ago)

I have written several papers on different subjets of Mathematics. I would like, if not to get some kind of credit for them, at least to be able to attach my name to my discoveries, so that nobody else does. What should I do? Try to publish? I fear that my results are not deep enough to be in a serious publication. Should I just carry them to the grave?

And, less specifically, is anyone here a research scientist who could give some advice to those who hope to contribute to science?

Im no research scientist, but I do research in science.  :grin:

If you want an area that has a big need for people with mathematical skills to come in and solve some of the great many of problems in that area, then the area you want is biology.

> What should I do?

Go to your local college library and look to see what journals they have that match up to the papers you have written.  Write to those journals and get a copy of their publication guidelines.  Ensure that your paper adheres to their guidelines, and then submit it for publication.  They will review your paper, and if it overcomes peer review, they will publish it.

I'm not sure how mathematics works, but the process Seuss described is how biological sciences are done (although those few sentences make it appear much easier than it is).

Your best bet may be to visit your local college and talk with someone who has published before.

...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge.  It is an indellible experience; it is forever known.  I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

I would suggest trying to submit them to PLoS, the Public Library of Science, but they don't seem to have a mathematics journal.

You could ask for some advice on one of the forums there.
