General journals refer to general academic journals, including provincial and national journals. The academic value of publishing general journals is relatively low, because its recognition is not as good as that of core journals. However, if your goal is to pursue high-level research results, such as entering top universities or research institutions, or applying for national scientific research projects, then publishing general journals may not bring you much advantage.

In short, whether it is meaningful to publish a general paper depends on your specific needs and goals.
