Jan 17, 2015 at 12:14 comment added Kimball It's not frowned upon, but faculty are quite busy and get lots of various requests from people we don't know or barely know. So if you just contact a random person out of the blue, they may or may not give your paper a serious look (which could be a significant time investment depending on the paper). That's why it's better to have an introduction.

Jan 17, 2015 at 11:55 comment added user27937 @Kimball I will try that, thanks! By the way, is it generally frowned upon to contact experts to ask for feedback/suggestions on a paper?
Jan 17, 2015 at 11:44 comment added Kimball Did you try asking your supervisor if she (or perhaps someone else in the department) can put you in contact with an expert? Hopefully she at least knows someone in your general area.
Jan 17, 2015 at 11:13 comment added user27937 @MassimoOrtolano Unfortunately, there are no experts in my field in my department (it's a quite small one).
Jan 17, 2015 at 11:12 comment added user27937 @Chou I'd rather not post my draft publicly for now. Also, I don't like the fact that, once in Arxiv, you cannot really retract your paper.
Jan 17, 2015 at 11:00 comment added Massimo Ortolano Isn't there any expert in your field in your Department? The best approach would be probably that of approaching them and, possibly, agree with your advisor to have a co-advisor.
Jan 17, 2015 at 10:59 comment added Yes Would you consider arXiv?
