In the process of research, the paper is actually the so-called "big move". If you have a beautiful article, even several articles, which have been published, it will undoubtedly play an important role in your scientific research.
Of course, not all papers are useful for research. Generally speaking, core journals are the most effective, and other authoritative general journals will be recognized by different schools according to their different requirements. The core is more authoritative, but the publication cycle of the core is very long, and the academic requirements for the paper are higher. Compared with the core, the authority of general journals is slightly lower, but the publishing cycle of general journals is shorter and articles are easy to draft. The specific situation still depends on the relevant requirements of the school unit.
The general period from preparation for writing to publication of core papers is 1-2 years. Therefore, if college students want to publish research papers, although the university has four years, you don't really have much time to publish core papers. College students will start writing, submitting and publishing papers at the latest in the last semester of their sophomore year. After all, no college student is fully confident that it will be published successfully once, and the article may be returned after submission, which takes a long time. Only when you are prepared can you be prepared, and you must prepare in advance.
