Physics is the scientific study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. It is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist. Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines. Over much of the past two millennia, physics, chemistry, biology, and certain branches of mathematics were part of natural philosophy, but during the Scientific Revolution in the 17th century, these natural sciences branched into separate research endeavors. Physics intersects with many interdisciplinary areas of research, such as biophysics and…

The Ivan Franko Zhytomyr State University (Ukrainian: Житомирський державний університет імені Івана Франка) established in 1919, is the oldest public university in the Zhytomyr Oblast of Ukraine. The University participates in the Fulbright Program. Its research infrastructure includes over 17 scientific schools, 20 research centres, and approximately 30 laboratories focused on scientific and methodological inquiry. The institution maintains academic partnerships with more than 40 universities internationally. The university also publishes an academic journal called the "Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University Journal". This university is named after Ivan Franko. The university is organized…

"We find that…" changing patterns of epistemic positioning in research writing.. Introduction Epistemic positioning refers to the writer's commitment to the truth of a proposition and assessment of its potential impact on readers. Despite its importance, little attention has been paid to how writers make epistemic judgments across disciplines over time. Methods Drawing on Hyland and Zou's taxonomies of hedges and boosters, we analyzed 240 research articles from education, history, mechanical engineering, and physics, covering three periods (1960, 1990, and 2020). Results Our findings show that epistemic positioning has significantly decreased across all four disciplines over time, with writ…

Nanocatalysis: Academic Discipline and Industrial Realities. Nanotechnology plays a central role in both academic research and industrial applications. Nanoenabled products are not only found in consumer markets, but also importantly in business to business markets (B2B). One of the oldest application areas of nanotechnology is nanocatalysis—an excellent example for such a B2B market. Several existing reviews illustrate the scientific developments in the field of nanocatalysis. The goal of the present review is to provide an up-to-date picture of academic research and to extend this picture by an industrial and economic perspective. We therefore conducted an extensive search on several scie…

Transferring ways of thinking and mathematizing: The statistical approach between physics and biology.. I pose the epistemological question of what makes the transfer of statistical approaches across disciplines, specifically between physics and biology, legitimate and fruitful despite intrinsic differences in their objects of study - a problem that resurfaces in contemporary interdisciplinary research relying on machine learning for statistical model building. I address it through the historical reconstruction of pivotal steps in the development of statistical thinking in the 19th century, where the appeal to the mathematical formalism of the Gaussian distribution acted as the visible trac…

A data-driven comparative analysis on citation intents across scientific disciplines.. The goal of this paper is to conduct a first comparative analysis on citation intents across multiple scientific disciplines. To this end, we conducted a data-driven investigation into the characteristics of citation intents utilizing a large-scale dataset of 17,717 academic papers and 2,345,674 citation contexts from 21 Web of Science subject categories. We analyzed five key characteristics: i) inter-category distribution of citation intents, ii) average number of citation intents per article, iii) age distribution of citation intents, iv) similarity of the age distributions of citation intent, and v) pr…

Journal of Physics Research and Application. Physics from ancient greek means 'knowledge of nature', is the natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves. Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines and, through its inclusion of astronomy, perhaps the oldest. Over much of the past two millennia, physics, chemistry, biology, and certain branches of mathematics were a part of natural philosophy, but during the Scientific Revolution in the 17th century these natural sciences emerged…

Experimental physics is the category of disciplines and sub-disciplines in the field of physics that are concerned with the observation of physical phenomena and experiments. Methods vary from discipline to discipline, from simple experiments and observations, such as experiments by Galileo Galilei, to more complicated ones, such as the Large Hadron Collider.

An academic discipline or academic field is a subdivision of knowledge that is taught and researched at the college or university level. Disciplines are defined (in part) and recognized by the academic journals in which research is published, and the learned societies and academic departments or faculties within colleges and universities to which their practitioners belong. Academic disciplines are conventionally divided into the humanities (including philosophy, languages, art and cultural studies), the natural sciences (such as physics, chemistry, and biology); and the formal sciences like mathematics and computer science. The social sciences are sometimes considered a fourth category. It…
