1. Solid academic foundation: Make sure your professional knowledge system is complete and solid before applying for a doctorate. You can improve your academic level by reading textbooks and taking part in courses and experiments. In addition, you can also pay attention to the research results of well-known scholars at home and abroad and understand the latest research trends.
2. High-quality papers: Although there are few SCI papers, you can try to publish some high-quality papers in domestic authoritative journals. These papers can show your research ability and potential and help to improve the competitiveness of your application.
3. Excellent recommendation letter: Recommendation letter is a very important link in doctoral application. You can consult your tutor, lab teacher or other people who know your academic ability and try to get a strong recommendation letter.
4. Rich practical experience: In addition to academic research, you can also actively participate in internships and volunteer activities to accumulate practical experience. These experiences can enrich your resume and show your comprehensive quality.
5. Good English skills: PhD applications usually require English scores, such as TOEFL and IELTS. Therefore, we should strive to improve our English level in order to achieve ideal results in the application process.
6. Targeted application strategy: When applying for a Ph.D., you should formulate an application strategy that suits you according to your actual situation. For example, you can choose schools and tutors with similar research directions to improve the possibility of admission.
In short, in the absence of SCI papers, we can still improve the competitiveness of doctoral application by improving our academic level, accumulating practical experience and striving for excellent letters of recommendation. At the same time, we should keep a positive attitude and believe that we have the ability to realize our doctoral dream.
