Medical Forum / General / Vision / August 2006Publish in the American Scientist
I took it upon myself to contact the American Scientist in regard to their publishing a paper on progressive myopia. There response, in part, was: We do invite articles, usually based on peer-reviewed publications. If you have read of some interesting published research on this topic, we'd be grateful to be directed to it so that we can investigate. So, if one of the ³peers² posting onto this group wishes to edify the public at large, contact them at editors@amsci.org. I do not think that being a member of Sigma Xi is necessary in order to be published. Be forewarned. They will probably want at least the verisimilitude of being unbiased. Bill -- Ferme le Bush Publish in the American ScientistAnd why would one who wrote a peer-reviewed paper on progressive myopia want to have it published in the American Scientist? -Quick I took it upon myself to contact the American Scientist in regard to their publishing a paper on progressive myopia.

It is a prestigious journal that goes out to members of Sigma Xi, the Research Society of America. Look at: http://www.amsci.org/.

If they simply want references to investigate, why don't you (since you are the one who wants to read a summary article in a general science mag) send them the reference Scott and I have given you? -- I'm referring to the Walman review. BTW, most of those posting here are not "peers", ie not researchers.

That may be a key point. The primary requirement to full membership in Sigma Xi is that the prospective member published scientific research papers. While I do not think you have to be a member to have a paper in American Scientist, I think that they will want a primary researcher to author any such paper. Bill -- Ferme le Bush P.S. No one noticed thy using "there" instead of "their". |
