First of all, the paper level is not the only criterion. Although papers published in internationally renowned academic journals such as SCI and EI will be regarded as advantages in some high-level schools and majors, this is not the only evaluation criterion. Many schools and tutors pay more attention to the quality of papers, including research depth, innovation and experimental design.
Secondly, the number of papers is not the decisive factor. Some schools and tutors may prefer students with continuous research rather than just looking at the number of papers. Therefore, if we can conduct in-depth research in the undergraduate stage and have a series of research results, it may be more convincing than simply pursuing the number of papers.
Thirdly, the theme and research direction of the paper are also very important. If the topic of your thesis is closely related to the postgraduate major you are applying for, then your thesis is more likely to be regarded as evidence of your in-depth understanding and enthusiasm for the major.
Finally, in addition to the thesis, Bao Yan also needs to consider other factors, such as grades, practical experience, letters of recommendation and so on. Therefore, if you want to improve your research chances by publishing a paper, you need to ensure the high quality of the paper and strive to improve your performance in other aspects.
Generally speaking, there is no fixed standard for the level of papers required for research. The key is whether your thesis can reflect your research ability and love for your major.
