1, publishing a paper is a systematic project.
No matter a series of problems, such as research topic, research design, research implementation, data collection and analysis, paper writing, etc., even if it is a formed paper, it is a painstaking matter where to submit it, how to contact the editor and how to revise it.
2. Every process may be rejected.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know yourself. If you aim at periodicals and magazines, the first thing you should do is to fully understand your goals.
As far as the computer field is concerned, suppose you have done a research and finished a paper. If you want to publish it, you need to solve the following two problems:
1. What journals/conferences can you contribute to?
②. How to choose a journal that suits you?
Knowing what you can choose is the first step, so it is very helpful to have a catalogue of journals/conferences in the computer field.
China Computer Federation will sort out some international computer conferences and periodicals according to their professional fields and periodical/conference grades (divided into three categories: A, B and C) (the catalogue of international computer conferences and periodicals recommended by China Computer Federation).
The 20 15 catalogue I * * provides international academic conferences and periodicals in the following fields: computer architecture/parallel and distributed computing/storage system, computer network, network and information security, software engineering/system software/programming language, database/data mining/content retrieval, computer science theory, computer graphics and multimedia, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction and pervasive computing, and intersection.
Each item in the catalogue will explain the short name of the conference, the whole conference, publishing house and website.
In China, * * * compiled 128 domestic computer periodicals (catalogue of domestic computer periodicals), including periodical level, publishing speed, review speed, submission requirements, sponsors and other information to help you understand:
1. What journals can be submitted in the computer field?
2. What are the core journals?
3. What types of papers do these journals mainly accept?
4. What are the submission requirements of these journals?
5. What is the review speed of journals? Can you finish the job title selection before the deadline?
Basically, all the introduction materials needed for submission are here. Teachers who contribute can choose according to this catalogue and their own situation and periodical information, which saves the trouble of going to the periodical website to read the materials one by one.
How to choose a journal that suits you?
This is mainly about the delivery of periodicals.
If the manuscript is sent to an inappropriate journal, there will be several negative effects, mainly the following three:
(1) Rejection: This is a high probability event, and the content is not suitable for this journal. After the manuscript is rejected, we should continue to look for other journals, which will delay the publication of the manuscript for weeks or months and delay the original work plan.
(2) Unfair peer review: Because editors and reviewers have a vague understanding of the author's research field, it may lead to poor or unfair peer review of the manuscript.
(3) Less attention from peers: Being buried in journals with little attention from peers can not achieve the purpose of communicating with peers, and it is difficult to be cited by others.
Therefore, in the process of selecting contributing journals, we should match our own demand conditions with journals and choose appropriate journals.
When screening, it is generally necessary to determine the following questions:
1. Is the topic of the paper within the scope stipulated by the journal?
It is very necessary to read the "submission requirements" or "notes to authors" before submitting a manuscript. This information can help you judge whether the field of the journal is compatible with your paper. At the same time, this information often includes the format and delivery method of the paper.
2. What is the level of periodicals?
The school has grade requirements for papers evaluating professional titles, and some look at citation indicators (composite impact factors and comprehensive impact factors); Some see whether it is the core periodical, CSCD core or Peking University core; Some selection criteria are whether the journal is a national core journal/provincial core journal, etc.
3. When is the review time of the journal?
If the review speed is slow and exceeds the time limit for the selection of professional titles, then you should think carefully.
4. Other factors should also be considered.
There are other factors to consider, such as page fees. Generally speaking, the selection of contributing journals also needs comprehensive consideration. If you are not sure, you can consult a more experienced leader, and students can consult their own tutors. Their experience will help you avoid many detours.
