The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by John Edward Lennard-Jones, on a paper 'The replusive forces between isotopic molecules' by Ronald Percy Bell

Reference number: RR/66/21

Date: 24 November 1939

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Not recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Has delayed returning the paper as he has doubts about whether the paper should be published or not. The experimental method used is simple and cannot give detailed results, leaving doubt as to the validity of the conclusions. Thinks the paper would be best published elsewhere.
