Most journals do not require authors to provide original data. But there are some exceptions. For example, I recently subscribed to ESSD (Earth System Scientific Data) magazine, which is a relatively small magazine specializing in publishing earth science data products. So you need to provide a website (such as Zhi Nuo, etc. ) You can download the data described in this manuscript here.
Some experiences, I hope to be useful to students who publish SCI papers for the first time:
1, topic selection
Relatively speaking, applied research is more difficult to publish papers than basic research, and the factors for publishing papers are also lower, such as breeding, breeding technology research is more difficult to publish papers, and breeding gene research is better to publish papers. Therefore, combined with the boss's topic, choose the topic of mechanical research.
Determine the key words, analyze whether the topic is the forefront of international research, and the quantity and quality of papers published in major retrieval systems. If the relevant literature is of low grade, you are less likely to publish a good paper on the selected topic.
Step 2 design
Don't rush to start work when choosing a topic. First, read Chinese literature, mainly doctoral dissertations and reviews, to understand key terms and research progress. Collect English literature, summarize the research progress, select the breakthrough point, design experiment 1 and experiment 2, experiment n in .........., frame the paper publishing framework in advance according to the literature, complete the experiment in the later stage, and fill in the data.
For example, choose topics related to embryonic development, study the role of G gene in embryonic development, refer to the published literature on the role of JHAHKS and other genes in embryonic development, and see how others do it. Prove your inference through those experiments. These verifications are also necessary for you. According to the experimental conditions and needs. The more sufficient the verification experiment is, the more reasonable the design is, and the easier it is to publish a paper.
Step 3 experiment
It is suggested that graduate students enter the laboratory early, get familiar with the laboratory environment and operation before opening questions, and help senior brothers/sisters to do experiments and practice basic operations. During the experiment, you will encounter various problems, such as equipment, reagents and operation flow, which is very annoying! If possible, please ask the company to take charge of some experiments. For example, high-throughput sequencing technology is widely used, so it is necessary for the company to process and analyze the data. The company is responsible for making the chart well, just wait for it to be released, and get twice the result with half the effort.
Step 4 write
It is difficult to write a paper for the first time. There are many posts about structure, language expression, data analysis, chart processing and so on. You can search them. What I want to say is that the framework of the paper (the composition of the experimental results and the center of the paper) should be read by experienced people first, and then the introduction and discussion should be written if there is no problem, so as to ensure that the data support the conclusion of the paper. The conclusion is the center of the paper, and the whole text is written around this center.
