Fifth International Conference on Physics and Applications of Spin-related Phenomena in Semiconductors
Meet the Editors of PRB & PRL
As a special event within PASPS V (especially for young researchers), two editors of Physical Review B (Dr. Peter Adams being one of them) and Physical Review Letters will present a tutorial for authors and referees. The editors will provide useful information and tips for less experienced referees and authors. The information presented will be relevant to anyone who is looking to submit to or review manuscripts for any of the APS journals, or to anyone who would like to add to their knowledge and experience of the authoring and refereeing processes.
Topics for discussion will include:
- how to write good manuscripts and useful referee reports;
- differences between manuscripts and referee reports for PRL and PR;
- the roles of authors and referees in the review process, etc.
Following a short presentation from the editors, there will be a moderated discussion of these and other topics. Questions from the audience will be most welcome.
In addition, as part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Physical Review Letters, which turns 50 in July 2008, Dr. Daniel Ucko (PRL) will deliver the talk “PRL at 50: A history of moving physics forward” in an evening session.
