Dear James
I meant what are the criterias concerning the content of the manuscript to be accepted
Naïma,
That is a simple question, without a very simple answer. I presume that you have read papers a selection of papers that have been published in Phys. Rev. Lett.?
I would aim to achieve similar or higher levels of excellence in:
a) The clarity of the written text
b) The significance (difficult to measure) of the presented work
c) The rigor with which the experiment was conducted and its data examined
I'm looking at:
https://journals.aps.org/prl/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.062004
Lucid, intriguing, and the caution and care with which the data are presented make this, in my limited opinion, a 'good' paper.
But the same can be said for a great many journals - what you may have to study is the particular 'style' or 'stance' of a journal - in the case of Phys. Rev. Lett. it appears to focus on fundamental, rather than 'fashionable', studies. And I applaud this.
What sort of work are you hoping to publish?
Naïma,
Well, traditionally PRL tends to be a little more, ah, grounded.
Have you considered Ap.J.?
And is it more of a hypothesis, or do you have falsifiable predictions from your work?
Dear James
The work is not yet finished I asked this question just to have an idea about the general criteria imposed by this journal
I work on the possibility to give a new explanation about the gamma bursts
