At present, 90% of domestic academic journals are paid to publish papers, which means that authors need to pay a page fee for publishing papers.

It is easy to understand that the distribution of academic journals has always been difficult. The average author will not spend money to buy some academic magazines to read. Because of this, domestic academic journals have to be self-financing since they were transformed from public institutions to enterprises in 2003. Therefore, since 2003, academic journals began to publish papers for free.

Papers published only for professional titles, only for graduates. This is the current situation of academic journals in China.

Nowadays, there are few magazines that don't accept pages. It usually takes 2-3 months to review the manuscript, and then it takes 2-3 months for the article to be published. Through its own network, the paper agency can review the paper in the shortest time, so that the author can make plans early. Generally, authors only discover when they are about to graduate or evaluate their professional titles, and the publication of papers is missing from the evaluation conditions. So many authors publish their papers through agencies.

Risk warning: Not all papers published in magazines are valid. There are formal and illegal ones. Because the periodical industry has begun to publish papers for free, many lawless elements use illegal periodicals to assemble manuscripts for the purpose of collecting money. Papers published in illegal journals are invalid.
