Orientation of (1)SCI papers
Manuscripts are usually divided into summary papers and experimental papers. When submitting a manuscript, you need to have an accurate positioning of your own paper, which requires reading a lot of literature and mastering the current research status and research hotspots in this field. What is the significance of your work to the current research?
Periodicals are the main channel for readers to communicate with each other. Many scientists are engaged in similar research, and there are many unsolved problems bothering them. If your research can provide an argument for these problems, even a small branch. Your paper can also be submitted to journals with higher IF.
(2)SCI paper writing
In the early stage of paper writing, you should read a lot of literature and take notes so that you won't be impressed after reading it. More importantly, it lays a good foundation for selecting references in the future. Because when quoting references, it should be targeted and not be quoted indiscriminately.
It is suggested that you use Endnote to manage documents, which is very useful for document management and paper writing. With this software, you can classify all the documents and make appropriate records in the abstract. When writing a thesis, Endnote's advantages in reference management are reflected. All references are entered with one key, and there is no need to write by hand at all. As we all know, submission is rarely successful, and each journal has its own specific reference requirements, which need to be revised manually.
(3) Selected periodicals
After the manuscript was positioned, we began to choose periodicals. How to choose periodicals? Search on Google? That's a needle in a haystack! IF you think your paper can be submitted to a journal with a score of 1, you can search for journals with an if of 1 in the journal column, and find journals in the fields of biology, medicine and pharmacy, and you can find more at one time. Then go to official website to see the scope of the periodical to ensure the accuracy of the scope.
(4) Online submission
Now Elsevier, Springer, Wiley and other databases all adopt online submission mode, and contributors need to know something about the submission system. Because the first submission is unfamiliar with the submission interface, there are often some unexpected problems, and you will become proficient after several operations.
The system of each periodical is different, but the principle is the same. Generally speaking, you need to write a cover letter when submitting a manuscript. This needs to be written in advance, and then you can copy and paste it. Subsequent communication is mainly through the mailbox, so the mailbox must be an ordinary mailbox. This is very important.
(5) Preliminary examination of papers
In general, you will receive an email from the editor of the journal within one week of submission, informing you that your manuscript has been submitted to the reviewer. The experiment of the paper began. The reviewer comments on your paper, and then feeds it back to the journal editor, who then feeds it back to you.
