The main issue is marked with the number of issues, and the supplement is marked with the indefinite number of "Supplement". Usually it is on the cover, but now some journals deliberately downplay the logo of the supplement to meet the needs of some people, but they should indicate it on the copyright page. The supplements of popular periodicals are generally used to publish picture books, anthologies or commemorative special issues.

Academic journals usually arrange some manuscripts with a certain level in supplements that can't be published in periodicals with normal cycles, so the academic influence of supplements is weaker than that of periodicals with normal cycles.

Generally, supplement articles are not included in China Journal Network. Compared with regular publications, although they are not illegal publications, their quality is far from good. Therefore, many places do not recognize supplements, especially schools and institutions.

Generally speaking, when evaluating titles below intermediate level, most supplements of provincial periodicals are not recognized. However, supplements of national journals or core journals are often downgraded, which is equivalent to provincial journals or general academic journals.

Supplement: The conference uses the reputation of journals to attract contributions. Then the journal is afraid that such conference articles will affect its reputation, so it is called a supplement. "The articles in some supplements are also very good, if the meeting is very good", and the foreign language supplement is expressed by "ONS".

Special issue: In English, it is a special issue. Many internationally renowned magazines (such as IEEE Trans) do this. It can't be said that special issues are worse than regular ones. The purpose of the special issue is to discuss Huashan's sword in view of a current research hotspot, so as to attract attention.

Those who publish papers in specialized journals generally do better in this field. At present, both China chinese journal of computers and Journal of Software are doing this course in China, and the effect is good, with an admission rate of about one tenth. The difference between a special issue and a general issue is that the period of publishing papers is shorter, mainly around a certain topic. Because it takes up publishing space, it can be regarded as the root.
