SCI (scientific citation index? ), EI (engineering index? ), ISTP (index of scientific and technological conference proceedings? )? It is one of the three world-famous scientific and technological literature retrieval systems, and it is an internationally recognized main retrieval tool for scientific statistics and scientific evaluation, among which SCI is the most important.
Science citation index (science? Quote? Index? SCI) was written by institute for scientific information (? ISI) of eugene garfield (Eugene? Garfield) at 1957? Citation database was founded in Philadelphia, USA in, covering comprehensive retrieval publications in life science, clinical medicine, physical chemistry, agriculture, biology, veterinary medicine, engineering technology and other fields. , especially reflects the academic level of natural science research. It is the most famous of the three retrieval systems in the world at present, among which life science and medicine, chemistry and physics account for the largest proportion, and its collection scope is the important international journals of that year, especially its citation index shows uniqueness. Many countries and regions regard the papers collected and cited by SCI as an important index to evaluate academic level. Judging from SCI's strict principles of journal selection and strict expert evaluation system, it has certain objectivity and truly reflects the level and quality of the paper. According to the inclusion and citation of SCI, we can reflect the development of academic level from one side. Especially the annual ranking of SCI papers has become a very important standard to judge the scientific research level of a school. ?
SCI is based on journal content (current? As a data source, there are currently more than 5,000 periodicals in the natural science database, including 1350 in the life science series; Collection of engineering and computer technology? 1030 species; 990 kinds of clinical drugs were collected; 950 kinds of agricultural and biological environmental sciences; The series of physics, chemistry and earth sciences includes 900 periodicals. The coverage of each version is different.
SCI papers can be regarded as the top papers in international academic circles, which can represent the most advanced technology and development trend of this major in the world. Therefore, for many authors, SCI papers are the highest recognition of their academic level, and more and more domestic scientific research units and doctoral students attach great importance to the publication of SCI papers.
As far as the domestic situation is concerned, researchers are the main groups that publish SCI articles. If their scientific research level and achievements reach the internationally recognized advanced level, it is difficult to be convincing not to publish SCI articles. Therefore, publishing SCI articles is the goal of many professional and technical personnel in China. Generally speaking, the international recognition of SCI articles is unmatched by domestic academic journals, including various core journals. In addition, the review of SCI papers is also very strict, and the review may not take long, but the requirements for articles are very high, which requires not only sufficient academic ability, but also good writing ability.
Importance of SCI papers:
With the globalization of economic and scientific research, SCI papers are an important way for international scientific exchanges and the main channel for international colleagues to understand us.
Publishing SCI papers can show the strength of China's basic research to the world and improve China's position in the world scientific community. Publishing an important article in world-famous journals such as Nature and Science is no less significant than winning a gold medal in an international sports competition of a certain discipline.
The number of SCI papers published and the citation rate of papers are international common standards for evaluating the level of basic research achievements. It is an important indicator of recruitment, promotion, assessment and reward.
As far as basic research is concerned, the level of papers published in journals is clear at a glance, and it is generally not necessary to identify them. If the results are not published in internationally renowned SCI journals, it is difficult to be considered as an international level.
Publishing SCI or SSCI papers is a necessary condition for doctoral students in the field of basic research in the Institute of Geography and Resources to obtain doctoral degrees. It is also the best way for foreign tutors to know themselves when they are in contact with studying abroad.
