1. Choose a suitable journal: First, you need to choose a core journal related to your research topic. You can refer to relevant databases, such as WebofScience and Scopus, to learn about the impact factors, reader groups, review speed and other information of each journal.
2. Rigorous research design: Core journals usually have higher requirements on the rigor of research design. You need to ensure that your research design can effectively answer your research questions and have enough evidence to support your conclusions.
3. High-quality writing: Editors and reviewers of core journals usually have higher requirements on the writing quality of papers. You need to make sure that your paper is clear in language, logical and standard in format.
4. Prepare in advance: It usually takes a long time from the beginning of writing a paper to the final publication. You need to plan ahead to ensure that you have enough time for literature research, data collection, analysis, writing and revision.
5. Abide by ethical norms: If your research involves human or animal experiments, you need to ensure that your research conforms to relevant ethical norms and clearly state it in your paper.
6. Actively communicate with editors and reviewers: In the process of submitting papers, you may encounter some problems or places that need to be explained. You should actively communicate with editors and reviewers to increase the possibility of your paper being accepted.
7. Be patient: The evaluation process of core journals is usually long, and you may have to wait for months or even longer to receive the evaluation results. In this process, you need to be patient and don't get discouraged because of the long review time.
