Well, I have been doing some work with Graphing Theory. I have actually developed some methods that are alot simpler to use and allow for a numerical representation of the qualities that a graph might have. The system can easily be translated into code. In fact, I have implemented and tested that all of the stuff I have developed works. The system I developed seems to be nearly all-encompassing in it''s application with Graphing Theory. The thing is, I haven''t seen anything like it, and I would like to put something out there with my name on it. It would just look really good if I had some published articles when I went to get a job/internship in the programming field. Anyway, how do you go about publishing things in mathematics and computer science? Alternatively, is there anything I could do to get recognition for my work, and then just distribute it over the internet for free?

You can publish your results in some computer science journals. Here is one free journal that accept submission of researches in computing science.

Here is a list of free mathematics journals if you want to publish math research. There are also many non free journals that accept scientific researches, just search for "journal" in google, many links will be available.

I would start by posting a summary on a Usenet newsgroup (the closer to your subject, the better), to see their reaction. If there is interest, you should try to find someone with enough influence to get it published (a univesity teacher). Since you don''t have any reputation, it would be very hard to get it published on your own, I think. Unless you are willing to pay for it, a few hundred dollars.

If you are still in high school, you can submit your research to Intel STS or ISEF. Many good high school students won scholarships to prestigeous Ivy League universities because they created original and excellent researches in science.

Well, I looked over some of those journals, and I really can''t say I''m too impressed. From what I gather, I would be required to turn over any rights to the material that I created for "all time". As a result, anything that I created could essentially be buried somewhere that nobody can ever hope to see it.

Is there any kind of mathematics sites that are similar to this one? Basically, I submit an article that everyone can read, and I continue to have ownership over the material.

I recomend getting your own page going. Like a personal page with articles, then submit the links to a few sites to post about.

If you want ownership you can try to apply a patent for your discovery.

Other than the free journals, there are also many associations that publish journals, for example ACM, SIAM, AMS, MAA. These are leading associations in the world, you can''t go wrong publishing in journals from these associations. Also, check out elsevier because elsevier is the largest journal publishing company in the world. If you dislike free journals, use google to search around and you can find many journals that you may like.

I think I will just copyright my work, and then just offer it on my own website for free. It will only cost me $30 to copyright it. That isn''t too bad.

Wrong forum. Although the subject of the material to be published is related to math, the subject of publishing is not math or physics. I''m moving this to the business forum.
