Subject: ICGA publishing requirements

Go up one level in this thread


What are the requirements to publish an artice in that journal ? It doesnt seem
like you need a strong program to test your results with.

I feel I could have contributed as much to the science community with some of my
ideas presented in my own weak engine.
But I can't because I am not a science student/researcher ?

Can someone clarify if the system is as silly as it looks to me.
