If the applicant applies for a doctorate or a research-oriented discipline, such as economics, publishing academic papers is helpful for the application. As an undergraduate, it is very good to be published in provincial core journals, and it would be even better if it could be published in international core journals within the professional scope. This requires consultants to pay more attention. Generally speaking, the higher the IF (impact factor), the better, but there are also some disciplines, and magazines with high gold content are not necessarily high IF.
