Title
Space Mixing Theory: Journal of Space Mixing
Description
The basic idea behind the Journal of Space Mixing is to help create and foster a community of research in space mixing theory. In order to reach this goal, the journal seeks out the most important contributions from both theoreticians and experimentalists. One of the overall goals of the journal is to publish both experimental and theoretical papers. These complement each other as the experiments help guide the theory and the theory suggests new experiments. This interface of experiment and theory helps keep the science real.
Many proposed candidates for a "Theory of Everything" (grand unification models) do not have a strong experimental component. This is very unfortunate since without experiments to keep the science honest, these theories tend to wander off into fictitious worlds. As a result, the science in them has a tendency to turn flaky.
One of the goals of the JSM is to publish science which is real, and very high standards are required of articles published in the JSM. Articles are reviewed to make sure that to a high degree of certainty the science contained in them actually applies to the real world. In keeping with this basic philosophy, the journal requires publication of details. Rather than simply reporting results, the journal requires sufficient detailed publication of experimental setup and procedures and of theoretical derivations. This serves to more readily expose strengths, weaknesses, and fundamental assumptions of a method. It also helps others more accurately reproduce experiments and theoretical derivations.
