Redditer u/StellaAthena gave me an excellent tip. It’s worth sharing.

I had asked in several subreddits for the most respected journals in each respective field. She pointed out that if I find a highly-respected paper, I should look to see where it was published.

It makes so much sense, I don’t why I didn’t think of it.

So, where can I find highly-respected papers? The first thing that came to mind was the Nobel Prize in Physics. Finding out where recent recipients’ papers were published seems like a good start.

My next question will be whether or not I should try submitting my paper to one of these highly-respected journals, or just try submitting it to arXiv.
