Need Journal Names |
What would be good letters journals to try to publish some mathematical
results of gyroscope dynamics? What regular journals? What would be a
sensible maximum for the number of pages in a letter and the minimum for a
regular journal? TIA

If the work is legitimate, American Journal of Physics is the place for
such things. New twists on known problems (e.g., different ways to
teach things) are often a desired theme.
Read and take to heart *** ALL *** of their author information before
you even considering submitting anything. Same for any other journal.

It the gyro application can be applied to the pointing of a battlefield
or space telescope, Optics Letters is the way to go. Gneraly these are
1 to 1 1/2 pgs in print.

It occurs to me that if you don't already know, then you haven't been
following gyroscope research and wouldn't really know if you have
something new to contribute.
"Nature" and "Science" are catch-all journals that could publish darn near
anything, but their standards are high.
A search on scholar.google.com for
gyroscope theory
suggests a few.
IEEE Transaction on Aerospace and Electronic Systems
IEEE Transations on Automatic Control
International Applied Mechanics
American Journal of Physics
Zeitschrift fuer Flugwissenshaften und Weltraumforschung
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal
Russian Physics Journal

My research is to try to find a mathematical solution of the spinning top,
in closed form. You're right that I haven't been following gyroscope
research, but I do know the most important thing - the solution to that
problem has never been found.
I am hoping for academic recognition, indeed I want my PhD, not business
investments.

You would do well to heed the words of the last poster. Along those
lines, I'll add the following thoughts...
You probably woud not get the article in Science or Nature (for a
multitude of reasons). Sending your results to a journal (esp one that
publishes letters/rapid communications) is one way to find out fast if
you are on the right track, but before doing that you should (at a
MINIMUM) do a lit search using SCI (or some other decent lit search
engine, of which there are several in physics and engineering). If you
can present your ideas at a conference or even local univ lecture to
people who are (at least) somewhat knowledgable in the area you might
get very valuable feedback that will save you a lot of time and not
make you look unprofessional. If you have a long-term interest in this
area, you might want to try to start up a collaboration with someone
who is trained in this area. They can help you navigate the editorial
waters, write the paper in such a way that it won't sound wierd to the
community you intend to reach, and be a new path for continued
work/support in this field.
Good luck,
Juno

There are 1-page papers published in regular journals.
They're always a delight.
(There really aren't letters journals in math in the same sense that
there are in other disciplines -- arguably that's what the Internet's for!)

It used to be that Scientific American was good for such as that, but
their format has changed drastically to "popularize" science. If you
can make your paper "sexy" enough to catch the interest of the current
laymen readership you might have a chance of publishing there. That
might be good from some standpoints, and maybe not so good in others.
If what you want is academic recognition then there are certainly better
forums, but if you're after investment money then SA is a good bet.
