If you can publish a paper with high gold content during the period, then in a certain sense, you can say that you have a greater chance of reading a PhD. Of course, the papers required here generally refer to the papers in core journals, and of course it is best to publish papers in class C journals.
Only by publishing papers can the ability level of graduate students be revealed. Therefore, the journals published by graduate students should be at least domestic core journals, and some colleges and universities also require a certain number of SCI papers to be published during the graduate period before graduation.
