Where do people generally submit their findings? To website? A community? Some book? <br /><br />It's always good to know!<br /><br />Thank you for any answers!<br />

The proper scientific way is to submit the research to a peer-reviewed journal, such as "Nature" or "Science" or another in the specialty of the subject (there are dozens).<br /><br />"Teh Interbewz" is not a great place for real science.<br /><br />The journals provide the community for a particular discipline.<br />Books can be written for many motives, which is some cases is designed to make the most money, not necessarily to promote good science.<br /><br />MW<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Besides publishing in peer reviewed journals, people generally also post papers to pre-print archives. These are free to view and provide a way for papers to come out while they're being published. In physics/math/cs people often post to the arXiv:<br />http://lanl.arxiv.org/<br /><br />If you want to see all the new astrophysics results each day you can check:<br />http://lanl.arxiv.org/list/astro-ph/new<br /><br />Note that to post to this server you need to be affiliated with a recognized institution or find someone to endorse you. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
