I am doing MS Physics. If I take some previously derived results and plot them for different values, can I publish this work? If I do so, will it be like a review work? The plots are already there in the literature but I am going to take my own values e.g. I change the angle or the amplitude to see what happens and compare these with some other data to draw conclusions. I am totally new to publishing papers so kindly overlook my naivety.

What do you mean by "change values"? How? Sorry, but the question isn't clear.– BuffyCommented Sep 13, 2022 at 10:27

@Buffy It means I change certain parameters in the equations. For example I can change the angle for a certain experiment.– AnayaCommented Sep 13, 2022 at 11:06

I wonder if any publisher would be interested, based on perceived lack of novelty. It is hard to judge the validity without knowing more about what you've done, but you would need to convince reviewers that it is "new" enough to warrant publication.– BuffyCommented Sep 13, 2022 at 11:28

@Buffy Thank you:)– AnayaCommented Sep 13, 2022 at 13:23

A lot depends on what the new conclusions you draw are. Hopefully you have a master's advisor to discuss such details with.– AnyonCommented Sep 14, 2022 at 1:23

That would not be sufficient. You need to present new information. For example, if you show a well-known equation breaks down in an important scenario, and such a breakdown has never been documented, then that constitutes new info.
