| Mar 1, 2016 at 22:11 | comment | added | Javier Arias | I have finally submitted the paper to Arxiv and it is scheduled to be announced on Thursday. Anyway, the patent path derives from a related paper, not from this one, so that should not be a problem (relevance might indeed be the question for technicians als lawyers analyzing that. | |

| Jan 17, 2016 at 18:11 | comment | added | Javier Arias | I mean, other kind of public than just the typical linguists who only know their stuff and have no idea about the topics dealt with in my paper. I have seen that mathematicians are generally more open-minded and willing to have a look at innovative stuff. That is why I started posting in MSE in the first place and then came here. | |
| Jan 17, 2016 at 18:08 | comment | added | Javier Arias | Well, as I said, I will wait two or three weelks to a response from an American Professor interested in it. If that does not work out successfully, I will then probably uplad it it Arxiv....I would like to get echo for the paper, but not at any cost. I prefer it to be properly published by a journal, but I also do not need acceptance from my peers, who I do not trust too much at this point in my life, to be honest with. So I would be glad it the paper gets audience despite narrow-mindedness from colleagues. That is also part of the reason why I feel more confortable among other kind of public | |
| Jan 17, 2016 at 18:04 | comment | added | E.P. | The point is sort of that if there is an arXiv category where this will fit, there's little stopping you from posting there, so one course of action is to post it there, maybe with a comment saying that the paper is looking for a home, and publicize it from there until you get a journal interested. On the other hand, some journals do consider arXiv preprints as prior publication and will not publish manuscripts that have appeared there. In your case it's a tough call as you don't know whether you will find such a journal in the near/mid-term future. | |
| Jan 17, 2016 at 17:55 | comment | added | Javier Arias | @E.P. After having had a look at the categories, probably these two would be the best options: math.HO and math.RA. But I would be open for suggestions and advice, given the case. | |
| Jan 17, 2016 at 16:17 | comment | added | Javier Arias | @solalito No, that does not make any sense in this particular case, as it would become evident yo anyone reading the paper. | |
| Jan 17, 2016 at 16:14 | comment | added | Javier Arias | I guess I should look at it in detail, but I assume in mathematics, or or in some subcategory of it (history of mathematics, history of science, whatever). I have not posted there yet, but I had a look at it and it seems it goes quite quickly, right?? | |
| Jan 17, 2016 at 14:33 | comment | added | E.P. | Regarding the arXiv, is there an appropriate category that you would feel comfortable posting to? Can you post there? | |
| Jan 17, 2016 at 13:19 | comment | added | solalito | Is it possible to write two versions of the paper, each detailing only one side of the coin? | |

| Jan 17, 2016 at 0:32 | comment | added | Javier Arias | I meant praised | |
| Jan 17, 2016 at 0:23 | comment | added | Hao Ye | "appraised the quality" - "appraise" and "praise" have very different meanings... | |
| Jan 16, 2016 at 10:11 | comment | added | Javier Arias | Maybe I am conveying a false message. Of course noone can claim to know all of his or her field, nor to know all journals in it, but, believe, I am quite knowledgeable in my field and my targets were not pointless. I do not think it is a problem of lack of information on my side (not at least witrh regard to the academics of linguistics), but rather an issue regarding policies, open-mindedness and so on from the other part. That is why I said the paper is in no man`s land right now. By the way, it is a paper on the use of right ideals in a ring for the study of the sublanguages of science. | |
| Jan 16, 2016 at 6:50 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft♦ | @curiousdannii: You can find those details in the original question. It’s one of the things I edited out because they make the question too localised and should not matter as we do not want to recommend particular journals. | |
| Jan 16, 2016 at 5:07 | comment | added | curiousdannii | What kinds of maths and what kinds of linguistics? Lots of linguistics work is already very maths based. | |
| Jan 15, 2016 at 21:11 | comment | added | Javier Arias | Yes, I did. Then the day after the editor-in-chief replied to me what she was very aware of how difficult interdisciplinary work was, and how difficult to publish, and recommended me another journal (which I have not tried yet; mi first feeling is that it all will unfold as before) or to upload it to Arxiv. My feeling ist that they take the paper as a hot potato, even if some worldwide scholars recognized its quality. | |
| Jan 15, 2016 at 21:05 | comment | added | David Richerby | How did you respond to the second journal's advice? Did you tell them that you'd already received the opposite advice from the other side? | |

| Jan 15, 2016 at 14:38 | comment | added | Javier Arias | @Wrzlprmft Thanks for editing. It is fine with me. Let see if I get fruitful feedback and advice. | |
| Jan 15, 2016 at 14:35 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft♦ | @JavierArias: I heavily edited your question, reducing it to a single question that should be on-topic here – note that “What shall I do?” is rarely a good question for this site. To this end, I removed a lot of details that I consider to be irrelevant and to divert from your actual problem and made your question more general. Please check whether everything is still according to your intentions. | |

Removing irrelevant details, narrowing the question down to something that is on-topic here.

| Jan 15, 2016 at 13:51 | comment | added | Javier Arias | I am just adking for advice (if they want to red it, it is fine, but that is not the goal of my thread) as to how to further proceed. | |
| Jan 15, 2016 at 13:24 | comment | added | jakebeal | What is your question? Are you just asking if people want to read your paper (which is not on-topic), or something else? | |

| Jan 15, 2016 at 12:27 | comment | added | Javier Arias | No, not yet. I have sent it to a couple of journals, with the above mentiones answer. My fear is that putting it in arxiv might make it count as a non-publication and even prevent its future publication in a journal. Apparently, that would not matter if I get a nice echo in the community via arxiv but I am unsure about that. | |
| Jan 15, 2016 at 12:22 | comment | added | Nobody | Have you put the paper on arXiv yet? | |
