In the whole process of publishing SCI papers, I believe many people will find it very complicated. Small problems and big problems push a lot, which often makes people breathless. Let's sort out the publishing process of SCI papers and some problems that need to be paid attention to together with Zhu Meng Medical Compilation. 1. Preparation before submission: 1. Methods of selecting periodicals. Download the latest table of impact factors of SCI papers and input keywords in related fields, so that different SCI journal results and corresponding IF values can be found. Path 2: Select and screen different SCI journals according to the relevant literature you usually read; Path 3: The teacher designates relevant contributing journals according to your works (degree of innovation, completeness, etc.). ) .2. Adjustment of article format After determining the contributing journals, check the "article structure" of the selected SCI journals, and modify them one by one when the structure and expression of the articles are basically the same. 3. After the format of the materials and articles to be prepared before submission is completely revised, they will be sent to the corresponding authors for review, and after they are agreed and confirmed, the subsequent materials will be prepared and submitted. Submit the required materials as follows: Coveringletter (introducing the significance and innovation of the article is a powerful guarantee for whether the article can enter the actual trial stage, which is particularly important); Graphic summary (graphic summary, you need to give 1 picture that can represent the full text, and give appropriate explanations (not all magazines need it)); Listofthreepotentialreviewers (several ways: ① the research group recommends familiar peer experts at home and abroad; When you encounter problems in reading literature and experiments, you can try to write an email with experts at home and abroad, and you can recommend them as reviewers when you are familiar with them. ③ Focus on introducing a professor in SCI papers/refer to many articles of a professor and recommend him as a reviewer). Second, when the paper submission officially begins, we should conscientiously do the following: After the above work is ready, we can submit the SCI paper. First of all, you need to log in to the submission system of SCI magazine, and you need to register a submission ID. After successful registration, you can submit your contribution step by step. When submitting a manuscript, you should pay attention to the following matters: ① When submitting a manuscript, you will generally be required to select an article type, and the article we submit is generally "research paper"; 2 In the submission, the authors and units will be required to be entered in turn, and the order of the authors should be consistent with the original text; (3) Some SCI magazines need editing, because each editor may be responsible for a region, and we generally choose Asia; ④ When inputting the recommended reviewers, some SCI magazines need you to give specific "reasons" for recommending reviewers. At this time, you need to write a reason of about 50- 100 words, which roughly explains the research field, academic achievements and authority of the reviewer; ⑤ File uploading part: the order of uploading files should be consistent with the order required by SCI magazine, in which tables and figures are generally placed after the text, and manuscripts are delivered in the order of text, tables, titles and figures. Text and charts can be delivered as one document or separately. ⑥ After all documents are delivered, the system will automatically generate a PDF file for the contributor/correspondent to proofread (approve). You can click "Viewyoursubmission" on the left side of the webpage to download PDF documents for proofreading. If there is any problem, go back to the submission page and click "Edityoursubmission" to modify the submitted document and upload it again. If there are no questions, return to the submission page and click "Approve". After success, the system will automatically display your manuscript status as "SubmittedtotheJournal". Third, after the submission, the status of the manuscript and the countermeasures you need to know. After the manuscript is delivered, "SubmittedtotheJournal" will be displayed at the beginning, and this state will generally end within one week; Within a few days after delivery, the manuscript will go to the editor-in-chief of the magazine (the manuscript status is "WithEditor"), and then the editor-in-chief will distribute the manuscript to the corresponding editors (the manuscript status will be changed to "EditorAssigned"), and the editors will generally deal with the manuscript (completeness, innovation, language expression, etc.). ); During the "EditorAssigned" period, the following situations will occur: ① If the editor thinks the manuscript is good, then the editor will invite the corresponding reviewers (it may be recommended by you, but the probability is not great, depending on luck); 2 The editor thinks that your article writing does not conform to the English habit (this is very common, especially for the journals included in Sciencedirect), and returns the manuscript to you for revision. The cycle is generally 1 month; 3 think that your article does not meet the requirements of the magazine or is more suitable for other magazines, then your article will be rejected. If all goes well, the status of the manuscript will be changed to "ReviewersInvited", which means that the editor has begun to invite reviewers. This state may end in a few days or last for a long time. After the reviewer is in place, the status of the manuscript will change to "under review". The reviewer is reviewing your manuscript, which may take more than one month and you need to wait patiently. If you wait too long, you can write to the editor and ask, of course, you need to be careful with your words. After the manuscript is approved, the status will change to "RequiredReviewCompleted". At this time, the opinions of the manuscript have reached the editor. In general, the results will be available in 7- 10 days. Of course, if the reviewer disagrees, the editor will consider sending your article to another expert for review, which may take longer. If the opinions of the manuscript are obviously deviated, the status of the manuscript will change to "DecisioninProcess", and the editor will begin to consider whether to modify or reject the manuscript. Don't be sad if you reject the manuscript, because the editor will send you the reviewer's comments, and you will know why you rejected the manuscript, which is actually very helpful to you, and then you can make corresponding changes to the manuscript or vote for a better magazine. Fourth, after receiving the manuscript, the general magazine needs to fill in the manuscript copyright transfer agreement, which can be returned directly to the editor after filling it out. After that, the editor will forward the article to the magazine publisher, and the publisher will send follow-up emails to the correspondent regularly. The publishing society will typeset your manuscript within 2-3 weeks and make corresponding grammatical changes. After preparation, the publishing society sends the typeset manuscript to the correspondent for proofreading (note: only the grammar of the article can be modified, not the data and charts of the article). After proofreading and returning to the publishing house, the article will enter the "ArticleinPress" stage, at which time your article can be consulted online. Of course, the official publication of the article depends on the arrangement of the magazine, usually a few months later. As long as I keep studying hard, I believe that publishing SCI papers is not a dream.
