In the peer review process of academic journals, external review is essential, especially for foreign academic journals, which is an indispensable link in the peer review process, so SCI journals are no exception. The level of academic journals and the length of manuscript operation cycle are closely related to the external evaluation of experts. Academic journals generally pay more attention to external peer review, which is a necessary means and measure to ensure the quality of publications. External peer review of academic journals cannot be completed by an expert. The external audit of many publications requires 1-5 experts to review manuscripts, and so does the external audit of SCI journals. Many authors are under pressure, and publishing any publication has to go through a review process. As long as the article is well written, don't worry. SCI journals generally go through the following main review processes:

1, editing preliminary review

Submission through official channels is generally registered by the editorial department, and relevant column editors are arranged for preliminary examination. The editor examines whether the format and content of the paper are suitable for publication in the magazine, and gives feedback to the author in a corresponding way. The time for the initial review of editors varies slightly from publishing house to publishing house (the time for the initial review of core journals is mostly around 10-30 days). After the first trial is passed, the editorial department will hold a meeting to discuss the reasons for reviewing each article that has passed the first trial.

2. External audit

In order to confirm the correctness of the latest research results, the magazine has its own expert review team, that is, scholars who know the latest research results and progress. Manuscripts that pass the preliminary examination will be anonymously sent to experts for review, and the reviewers will give a review reply within a certain period of time. The editorial department will combine the opinions of several (2-3) experts to determine the results of external review. External audit is a necessary process for core journals, and the time is generally 65400.

3. Edit the final review

The manuscript given by the external auditor for comments will be sent to the editorial office for final review. Most core journals will have editorial boards, so it is difficult to determine the time of this stage, because some core journals will maintain a certain rejection rate. The final review is the last link in the article review process.

It is not easy to grasp the time of external evaluation by experts. Some experts are usually busy, and the evaluation time is very uncertain. At this time, the author needs to know clearly from the magazine about the time required for each link of manuscript review and whether it can be published urgently in case of emergency, so as to prevent unpredictable circumstances from affecting the publication of the paper.
