[IGPP Everyone] Plasma Seminar Friday 2/27 12:30pm: Successful Letters in Physical Review Letters: An Editor's Perspective

[Emmanuel V. Masongsong]

Dear all, 

We have a second plasma seminar this week on Friday, February 27th at 
1PM in Room 4-330 of the Physics & Astronomy Building (PAB). Pizza is 
at 12:30PM on the 4th floor of PAB. Our speaker is Dr. Serena Dalena, 
Associate Editor of Physical Review Letters, and her title and abstract 
are as follows: 

"Successful Letters in Physical Review Letters: An Editor's Perspective" 

Physical Review Letters publishes over 20,000 pages of scientific 
content per year while maintaining its presence as the premier physics 
journal. The purpose of this talk is to shed light into PRL editorial 
process and policy and address the many questions frequently raised by 
the thousands of active authors, referees and readers. How do the 
editors determine which papers to publish in PRL? What how-tos should 
you know as an author and a referee? Why should you submit your work to 
us? How are journals in general and PRL in particular reorienting amid 
increasing competition and other challenges? I plan to address these and 
related issues during my presentation and the subsequent discussion.
