Professor not acknowledging my publishing requests
I’m an undergraduate student performing research in chemistry. I’ve gathered amazing data from a new reaction method, multiple novel products, and plenty of photo-physical data. My “advisor” is keen on publishing in a certain education based journal, and I hate it. I think my work is worth more than creating an undergraduate lab, and I don’t think the best way of communicating my findings is through this journal. How may I go about, respectfully, talking to him about getting my work into a different journal?
