I need publish(free and easy) my earthquake prediction and forecasting(as per definition of earthquake prediction and forecast) theory and method.
I have two idea for review and publish.
1. peer review journal or web page(I think that is expensive and that is very formal).
2. send to government earth scientist via E-mail and request to feedback and review.(but I don't know this help to publish)
My method and theory is helps to everyone predict earthquake and forecast (I think my method must need government scientist approved). My weak point is I'm not professional scientist, I'm just final year commerce student and I don't know about peer review method. My method easily test and zero cost.

I need answer following,
1. Anyone suggest me web site for free peer review(earthquake related journal or science community and web page or E-mail) or
2. Suggest me government(NASA, ISRO etc.,) scientist E-mail or government web page.
3. I'm also interested to send my method to Nobel prize in physics( I think this is eligible and I don't know process for send)
my past earthquake prediction and forecast tests in my blog: earthstatus.blogspot.in

1) Write up your method (including theory) and make sure you reference the work upon which your method is based. This will be the toughest step. I would suggest that if your method is easily tested, that you have a number of examples of successful tests as part of your write-up.



2) Submit your article to the Journal of Geological Research (web address http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jgr/ ) The cover page of that website points you to the authors guidelines and talks about their publication ethics



3) If you go to the Wikipedia article on earthquakes, they have more than seventy publications used as reference. In there you can find active scientists at a number of institutions that you could probably contact for advice. If you look up the websites of Geological Societies, they usually point you to agencies that support earthquake research and method development.



4) You cannot self-nominate for the Nobel Prize -- and there is no Prize for geology. There are prizes for physics, chemistry, peace, physiology or medicine, literature and economics but not one for the earth sciences.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but highly trained experts in seismic events, geology and related fields have not yet come up with a reliable method of predicting earthquakes.



Since thousands of earthquakes occur every week around the world, I could predict that there will be 10 earthquakes in California today, and be completely correct.



You need to prove that you can predict magnitude 7, 8 or 9 events with accuracy to magnitude, time and place. You have not yet shown that your predictions are better than anything anyone else can do simply by looking at past events in seismically active locations and making guesses that predict more of the same.



AND, you <> submit your ideas, theories and discoveries to the Noble Committee. People are selected for the award based on their published achievements and the importance of those to science. There are groups within the Nobel organization that nominate several people within each prize group. Then, after much discussion, one, two or three people are chosen to receive the award within the Nobel Prize groups.



You are decades away from any prize for anything, let alone the Nobel Prize.
