Introduction to undergraduate publishing papers
It is difficult for undergraduates to send core papers, and generally only graduate students will send them.
If you have no scientific research experience, it is still useful to publish a general journal. If you can get extra points when applying for research, then two or even three papers, the more the better.
I'm an engineering student, so it's easier to send papers. In fact, if I have a relatively novel and theoretically realizable idea, I can post an article. The key to science should be calculation and deduction, and you can write with theory without making physical objects. I don't know much about liberal arts, but liberal arts have to read a lot of books and read a lot of content, so it may be a bit difficult to write.
As for core journals, they can only publish articles that have been tested or strictly theoretically deduced, which have a certain impact or summary on existing academics. The cycle is long, and it is too late for junior students now.
Good and bad.
Sending a paper is also recognition of one's comprehensive level. The first is scientific research ability, which shows that you have enough scientific research potential to make valuable things and innovative ideas. Also, your writing ability is excellent, and many people will be cheated on your writing ability. If you post an English article, it means that your English level is excellent.
But sending a paper is not a simple matter, involving many aspects. The requirements for yourself will be much higher, not only professional knowledge, but also the embodiment of your writing level. It is not easy to prepare topics, do experiments, summarize experiments and analyze results, and write papers, submit and revise them later. There are many differences between thesis writing and conventional article writing. It takes a lot of energy for the first time, and so do general publications.
For articles collected by HowNet, Wan Wei and other websites, the online cycle is very long, and you may not see your articles online for one year, and more people will die.
The whole process is mostly by yourself, and no one else will teach you how to do it. It is even more impossible to urge you to hand in your homework in class like a teacher, almost entirely on your own.
Next, I also got my own post along the way, hoping to help.
Think clearly about what the paper is for.
Someone may send documents abroad. With the paper in hand, the chances of winning are much greater, and many points are added. A senior failed several required courses before, but his grade point was not very high. But in the end, he went to the top 20 universities of American imperialists, and he sent two articles for undergraduate courses, which were very powerful.
Someone may try to protect this research. Bao Yan saw many projects, first of all, of course, grades, and then band six, papers, competitions and so on. If your grades are not very good, having a paper in your hand will add a lot of points.
And most importantly, you will ask questions about scientific research during the interview, which is almost necessary. Of course, if you say you haven't done scientific research, you won't ask, but you will ask about professional courses and the latest achievements in the industry, which is no more difficult than talking about thesis patents.
If you can answer excellent questions in scientific research and the quality of your papers is sufficient, then your chances of being admitted are much greater. At this time, the role of this paper may be greater than the result. Some schools even take theses as the standard of research places.
In order to add points to the award. No matter which school, the thesis is a project of various awards, and a lot of points are added. But this standard has been lying there, because few people send papers when they are freshmen and sophomores, so if you do, the extra points of this paper may be more useful than the grades.
For work. There are papers in the field of work, and your resume will have one more bright spot. The paper shows that you have enough research in this field and a solid foundation. You can successfully pass the resume screening, even if it is an interview, you have an extra guarantee.
If you don't know what you really want to do and have no strong will to post articles, you'd better not try.
It takes a long time for a complete paper to appear, and there is still a lot of suffering in it. There are many difficulties, more of which you can't solve yourself. If you can't persist, it is difficult to make achievements. As a result, you not only wasted time and resources, but also delayed what you originally wanted to do, which was not worth the candle.
Get ready.
After you decide, you have to make a lot of preparations.
The first is time, when to start. If you want to send the core, I suggest you start from your sophomore year, because at this time you already have some basic professional knowledge, and the core cycle is from one year to one year. Before that, you should contact your tutor (it is almost impossible for undergraduates to send the core without a tutor) to prepare materials and find information.
If it is to ensure the research and development of general publications, February and March of junior year is the peak period. Usually, the publishing cycle is two to three months, and this cycle will be extended by about half a month.
Knowledge preparation. You should be clear about what you want to do and write. Interlacing is like a mountain, so is writing a paper. There is a lot of knowledge in undergraduate study, but when you really start writing a thesis, you will find that you know too little. What's more, you need to study and sell now, consult the literature and know the details before you can write your own article.
Looking for a project-hugging the teacher's thigh
The project is not only to complete it, but also to write a paper or apply for a patent.
Academic competition. I believe there are many competitions in every major. If you sign up, you will have your own project, which may be completed by a team. Once you get this project and you do it well, you can try to sum it up. See if there is any innovation and anything worth writing, and you'd better discuss it with the teacher.
Innovative scientific research projects for college students. Every university should have this, it's just a matter of how much. Every spring, the school will delegate relevant documents and organize students to apply.
This is usually teamwork. At this time, you can try to find a few students who can cooperate to ask the teacher for a project and prepare for the defense. Once you get grades, you can send papers. With the help of teachers, you will save a lot of things.
