I'm studying for a doctorate, which I think is quite reasonable.
Take myself as an example. The patent applied by 17 has not been authorized, but there are already two patents in SCI area. This shows that the current invention patent is difficult to be authorized, and the cycle is very long, which also shows its gold content. Like Shanghai and Shenzhen, when the points are settled, the authorized patents are extra points. SCI does not add points.
But academically, SCI is more important and influential. If you graduate with a master's degree, the probability of engaging in scientific research in the future is very small, and the importance of SCI cannot be reflected. If you study for a doctorate, you will probably continue to engage in scientific research in the future. SCI is the main index to evaluate your professional title, to evaluate your professional title ... and if you look for a scientific research job after graduation, such as going to a university or a research institute, SCI is a stepping stone, and patents are basically useless!
College talents who do talent work in colleges and universities come to answer.
The author's school will grant the invention patent authorization with the same score as the papers in SCI area. It is estimated that there is a guiding problem, which is to encourage teachers to issue patents. A good patent really takes a long time and is more valuable than a paper. Previously, a patent of Shandong Institute of Technology sold for 520 million yuan. However, if the school does not require patent quality and patent transformation, it is much easier to get an authorized invention patent than to send a paper in the first field of SCI, which can be described as "irrigation".
Zhen Jing's university is an engineering college. Prior to this, the number of patents was very small, so the local government suggested to the school that the number of authorized patents should be regarded as an indicator of the place where universities serve. Therefore, when the school revised the professional title conditions a few years ago, it upgraded the patent to a very important position, and the two invention patents can be regarded as provincial and ministerial science and technology awards.
Anyone who has had scientific research experience knows that provincial and ministerial science and technology awards are difficult and the competition is fierce. There is no competition for invention patents. As long as there is something, you can basically get approval by finding a patent agent to operate it. Therefore, after the implementation of the policy, most teachers began to write invention patents. As long as they are engineering teachers, they basically have 2-3 invention patents. Without a patent, you are embarrassed to go out and say hello. Later, the science teacher also found the doorway, such as doing physics, and explored a set of patents for the research and development of experimental instruments. There is even an invention patent for a foreign language teacher in the school, which is about a foreign language online teaching platform. In this way, the number of patents in the school quickly became the local champion and remained the first for several years in a row.
At the same time, the school's professional title policy is also based on the papers of the first district. The two papers in the first area can be used as an exception, which should be said to be more generous than patents. It is precisely because of this orientation that the number of papers in the first district of the school has increased greatly. However, compared with the increase of patents, the increase of papers in the first district is not an order of magnitude at all. Up to now, there are dozens of papers in the first district every year, and the number of patents can reach hundreds.
Of course, this development is not normal, so this title policy has been revised after several years of implementation, and the patent is at most equivalent to a four-zone SCI paper.
At the beginning of this year, the state even issued two documents in reverse, aiming at SCI journals and invention patents, requiring schools not to reward these two achievements. It's time to change the scholarship evaluation policy of subject schools.
Compared with SCI, the articles in different disciplines are different and can only be compared with the same field, and the top journals are more reasonable. For example, IJMTM made by machine tools is the top periodical. Many first-class universities publish articles and news on it, but it is only a periodical in two or even three districts.
But there is really no news from the school to authorize the invention patent. Personally, I think that there are currently 20 applications, and 5 invention patents have been authorized, all of which have been applied for in the past five years, and some of them are still under public review. The estimated number of authorizations can reach 10. The first paper has not been sent yet.
I used to be an uncle in the internet and automobile factory industries, and now I am a university teacher. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
First of all, we should also look at it according to the specific direction. If it is a traditional school of mechanical design theory, it is really difficult to publish sci in the second district. From my own experience of invention patent authorization, I personally think that invention patents are easier. Although the actual authorization time of the invention patent is about 2 years, if you have a systematic improvement method, you can clearly express it in the patent claim (or with the help of the patent office). It should be said that it is not too difficult to authorize work in colleges and universities. Colleagues around us basically have patents, but sci really doesn't.
However, if you are a subject of chemistry, biology and materials, and you are a relatively new research direction, then I think the difficulty is similar, because if your first idea of choosing sci is better, the experimental equipment is better, the experimental data is more beautiful, and the results of e-sports characterization are better, then the hope of employment is still relatively great. But for them, often applying for invention patents will also have an investigation on the effectiveness of technology, which is not friendly enough for them, and all authorization is not an easy task.
Personally, I think you should not consider whether it is reasonable now. Now that the rules are determined, you can combine the research direction of the laboratory to see if it is easier to produce results there, and then make preparations quickly. If a patent is granted, it usually takes about two years, so you will start to refuel as soon as you study, otherwise you will probably miss many scholarships when you are granted. If it is a sci paper, in fact, with the help of my senior sister, sometimes the investment and change will be faster, and of course some people will be very good at irrigation. In fact, the workload of four sci areas is not necessarily higher than that of one sci area. Of course, if you plan to study for a doctorate in the future, it's better to rush down the sci area.
good luck
Looking at a subject, like our subject, we can generally evaluate professors by issuing sci, without much, just one article. ......
As for patents, invention patents are only a long period. I think it is less difficult than sci.
Articles in some places are relatively easy, depending on the type of articles, such as materials and environmental engineering.
Invention patents are difficult! The requirements for invention patents must be new. Must go through layers of audit, including expert group audit. At least two years! If there are similar papers or patent methods or phenomena like yours, your patent application will not come down.
SCI paper is to look at the depth of your research on your project, and guide a logical and reasonable explanation from your data structure. These must be supported by profound basic research data. After that, peer review is needed, but it doesn't have to be original.
Doctor, if you have a patent for invention, you must apply for a patent first. As long as you start to apply for a patent, your patent protection will take effect. You can post the newspaper at this time. Talk about the importance of invention patents! It's the feeling that you master the means of production alone and everyone else is scum. A far-sighted university or enterprise will definitely attach importance to invention patents. Anyone who knows it knows that several SCIs are not as good as one invention patent.
Which is more difficult, invention patent or SCI area? From the perspective of senior sister, according to the current actual situation in China, SCI area is relatively more difficult. Senior sister will introduce it from the following aspects!
Patents include invention patents and utility patents! Literally speaking, it is actually more difficult to invent a patent. After all, it has entered the stage of patent protection and practical application. However, judging from the current academic environment in China, most invention patents do not really occupy the word invention. At present, most invention patents are based on small creations in a certain field, and they are not innovative, but they can still apply for invention patents, which only really realize the innovation in a certain field and even break the long-term usage habits in this field. Such invention patents contain high gold content. Of course, to reach the height of this invention patent, it takes a long time to accumulate in this field. A senior sister applied for a patent and was bought by many enterprises at a high price. But for students who are still in the research stage, the gold content of invention patents is relatively low.
How hard it is to send SCI area! The publication of SCI papers is divided into three areas. Undoubtedly, the first field is relatively better for SCI papers, and the situation of publishing SCI papers in different majors is also different. Similar to mechanical engineering majors, if articles in the first field of SCI can be published, the overall gold content is very high. The first field of SCI needs at least a peer review process, and the selection of reviewers is worldwide. When an article is included in the first area of SCI, it needs to go through many complicated steps and be revised more than four times frequently.
To sum up, senior sister thinks that according to the current situation, the difficulty of SCI 1 area is still higher than that of invention patents, but both SCI and patents need constant accumulation, constant reading of literature and solid basic knowledge, so both patents and SCI need constant efforts!
An invention patent is equivalent to an Ei. I have three authorized invention patents, five sci patents, two II patents, three III patents and two ei patents, all of which are one work. Personally, I think the article in area one is too difficult. . .
