Generally speaking, an independent author means that you have finished all the contents by yourself. If you are divided into the first and second authors, it means that the article is finished by your cooperation. If you want to take the academic route, the first author is of high value, and the others are different, mainly depending on the requirements of individual units.

As the title of personal academic achievement evaluation, publishing papers is extra points, and generally requires publishing papers with the first author, which has a relatively high gold content. The second and third authors are not useless, but slightly weaker than the first author. Some documents stipulate to publish two articles as the first author or 1 article as the first author and two articles as the second author. In short, everything is mainly based on the documents issued by the unit.

Matters needing attention in publishing papers

I. Format of documents

The format of the paper includes title, abstract, keywords and text content. Many times, it is because I didn't pay attention to the format of the paper that the paper could not be published smoothly. Editors will receive many articles in the first trial, so the first thing to look at is the format of the paper. Even if the content of the article is horizontal and the format is wrong, the score will be reduced. This shows how important the format of the paper is.

Second, the choice of periodicals.

Papers need to be published in regular journals. Papers can only be effective if they are submitted in regular legal journals. With more and more published papers, many people take the opportunity to recommend many fake journals or periodicals to the authors, and many people are deceived, which directly leads to the failure to publish papers smoothly.

When the author chooses the journals to contribute, he must know the authenticity of the journals in advance and check them on HowNet. Journals collected by HowNet are all regular, so authors should be cautious for the smooth publication of papers.

Third, the way of submission.

There are two ways to contribute, one is to send an email by yourself and publish a paper by yourself, which is not acceptable. Now that the network technology is so developed, countless online scammers are cheated, which is not cost-effective. Although it may not take long, it is not very safe.

The second is to choose a publishing house to publish papers. Although this method requires a lot of expenses and a certain period, it is guaranteed. Therefore, the author should not only choose journals to contribute, but also choose regular publishing houses.
