The first article published on the Internet was relatively earlier than the article published in paper journals. Generally, online journals are uploaded to the retrieval platform first, and then published in paper journals. Therefore, the first article published on the Internet was earlier than that published in paper journals, and it was not really published.

After the paper is first published on the Internet, it can be searched on the search platform, which is different from seeing a publication. At present, not all publications can be online, but for non-network publications, it is a preview version, and then it takes 1~2 months to search online.

Other online publishing is equivalent to publishing, such as the international journal sci. Although sci also has a paper version, international mailing is time-consuming and troublesome. Sci has an electronic database scie, which is more convenient to use and spread. With the search certificate, it is recognized in China. So for sci papers, going online is equivalent to seeing the journal.

However, the topic of the paper should be published in China, not only in paper journals, but also on the Internet, which means that the paper can only be recognized after it is published online. The author must distinguish between the requirements of domestic papers and those of sci papers to avoid the prepared papers from being recognized.
