Graduate students and doctors have been on their own. Can they send sci?
I have experienced it personally, so I can.

In the field of engineering, the instructor gave a general direction and disappeared. The laboratory lacks measuring instruments and is stingy. It took half a year's research, topic selection and feasibility analysis to make a model device to verify the effect. Later, it took half a year to optimize the device through experiments, and then it took half a year to record the experimental data and write a paper. In September, the first submission of top journals in this field was rejected by reviewers because writing papers was a bit too boastful. Later, it was transferred to the second district sci, which was received and published soon.

In the whole process, the tutor was useless in addition to adding chaos, and finally wanted to grab the job. The brothers and sisters in the laboratory helped a lot, from setting up devices, doing experiments, processing data, writing papers, handing in papers and repairing them. If you don't have a musical instrument, contact other teachers to borrow it yourself. You can borrow it safely. I don't dare to buy the whole machine for the equipment I need to buy, so I buy modules and adjust them myself.

During this period, the biggest problem encountered is the topic selection, and we must be innovative and do it ourselves. Many times, I don't think I can do it. At this time, I thank my brothers for their advice. Although they don't fully understand what I want to do, it is very useful to enlighten you when you feel that there is no way out.

Personal time change:

After the first year of research, research and topic selection began.

Study and test various schemes and analyze their feasibility.

After a summer vacation, I began to make a device and optimize it while doing experiments.

In the second year of research, 165438+ 10, I observed the expected effect imperceptibly and felt stable.

In the second study, we mainly do experiments in the early stage, process data and draw pictures in the later stage, and then write articles, translate and polish them.

In September, Kenzo made the first vote. 165438+ October, second vote.

Three investigations in February, receiving and publishing. Write a big thesis and graduate in June.

Teachers are smart and capable when they are doctors, and they have strong scientific research ability. He has published many high-quality sci papers with himself as the sole author. With these papers, he successfully worked in a good university and became a tenured assistant professor. Under normal circumstances, he will be promoted to associate professor after six years.

However, it is such a promising young scientist who seems to want the rise of Ran Ran. After six years, he can hardly get tenure, which means he is almost leaving. This is rare in their school, which shows that his scientific research career is very unsatisfactory.

What is the reason? Under the tenure system, whether you can get tenure depends on whether you have enough scientific research results. To put it more bluntly, it is to see if there are enough academic papers published.

A closer look at the teacher's resume will reveal that he has not published many papers. He didn't publish enough papers because all his papers were basically written by himself, and only a few people cooperated with him to write articles. So the output of his scientific research results is too low.

His collaborators rarely have two reasons. The first reason is that he doesn't like to cooperate with others, and he is very strong and doesn't listen to others' opinions. The second reason is that when others read his resume, they will easily know that he will not be a good collaborator, so they will not actively seek his cooperation.

In addition, his relationship with doctoral tutors is also general, and he has not had any cooperation with tutors and brothers and sisters after graduation. Over time, his career can only rely on him to struggle alone.

Entering middle age, his energy is not as good as when he was studying. After he got married and had children, he became more tired of trivial things in life and his working hours were limited. It is difficult for a person to fight alone, and sometimes even one article can't be published in a year.

What is the harm of graduate students publishing their own academic papers? Under normal circumstances, graduate students publish academic papers with their tutors. There is a simple reason. The direction of the thesis is given by the tutor, the research funds are applied by the tutor, and the students do research under the guidance of the tutor (or the brothers and sisters who have been instructed by the tutor).

If all the academic papers published by a graduate student do not contain the name of the tutor at all, it will inevitably lead to some bad guesses.

The first guess: graduate students and tutors have different views on the thesis. The tutor may not approve this paper for various reasons (for example, the quality of the paper is not high) and ask the students to improve it, but the students have different opinions and publish it privately. Or if the tutor wants to make a work, but the students object, he will publish it privately as the only author.

The second guess: this graduate student is not cooperative and difficult to get along with. The tutor is completely out of control, so he must be allowed to develop freely.

The third guess: there is something wrong with the students' personality. It is considered that the tutor is only lip service and his contribution to the paper is not enough to become one of the authors.

The above three items are the real thoughts of college teachers after they know that a graduate student has published his own academic paper, and they are basically negative.

To be honest, I don't think it is necessary for graduate students to compete with their tutors for the order of authors of academic papers. No matter whether the articles published by students have the names of tutors or not, no matter where the names of tutors are ranked, as long as they are academic achievements related to graduation thesis during the postgraduate period, most people will think that they were completed by default under the guidance of tutors, especially those related to the research field of tutors.

Graduate school doesn't need to prove that you are independent. The spirit of cooperation is obviously more important than independence. If a person and a tutor can't finish a paper together, it's hard to make people believe that he will be a good colleague and collaborator. Just like the university teacher I mentioned above, she doesn't get along well with her colleagues and has no collaborators in scientific research.

Graduate students can publish articles independently, but not all articles can be published by themselves. Unless you have a reasonable explanation and your tutor is willing to write you a strong recommendation letter, it is reasonable to have at least one or two articles published with your tutor.

Modern scientific research pays attention to cooperation and reciprocity. If you look at contemporary academic journals, you will find that almost 95% of the papers are written by multiple authors, and there are few papers by a single author. At least in my field. I think there are several reasons for this.

First, cooperation with people can complement each other. For example, one person is good at theoretical proof, and another person is good at application and programming. Then two people work together to complete a high-quality paper, which has good application and theoretical support, and they can't do it alone.

Second, cooperation with others can greatly increase production. For example, I have worked very hard to publish at most 2 sci papers a year. But in cooperation with others, you only need to be responsible for what you are good at. In this way, you can publish 5, 10 or more papers a year. This is why many famous professors can publish dozens of papers a year. A large part of these papers come from their large number of collaborators.

Third, sometimes scientific research is very hard, and it will be more fun to have company and go further. Scientific research is bitter because it is always accompanied by setbacks. Many new ideas have been proved useless by experiments. If one is doing scientific research, it is easy to give up. However, if there are collaborators, the situation is different. What little progress you have made is shared and encouraged by others. When you are in trouble, someone will help you find a way. When you want to give up and you don't want to get involved with your collaborators, bite the bullet and stick to it.

It is precisely because of the many benefits of cooperation with others that most researchers are willing (or forced) to cooperate with others to write papers.

Conclusion Graduate students can only publish their own sci papers at the graduate stage, but it will have some negative effects and is not worth promoting. If you don't need a tutor, there is no need to go to graduate school. Now that I am in graduate school, I should cooperate with my tutor, do some research work of common interest and write several papers together.

A good graduate experience should benefit both graduate students and tutors. Instead of students and tutors, they all feel that the other party is redundant and is a decoration. As a graduate student, if you want to gain a foothold in academia, you should consciously cultivate your ability to cooperate with others, starting with improving the relationship with your tutor.

Everything is round, and it is difficult for outsiders to compare with heaven. The answer is not many words, but it is easy to understand, right?

Circle is very important, very important, very important. Say the important things three times.

From my personal experience, it is difficult to write a good SCI article on your own, unless your English level is very high; However, if you choose to publish SCI papers of open source journals, the difficulty will be reduced, and you can basically publish 1 paper yourself.

In addition, the possibility of master students publishing 1 SCI papers is too small, and the proportion is basically less than 5%; Doctoral students can be sent independently, but the proportion will not exceed 30%. This is an objective fact. Admittedly, it is difficult for graduate students in China to publish SCI papers, which includes a series of problems such as English writing ability, professional English expression and effective response to reviewers. Of course, we should also consider the serious problem of academic involution. If the author is only a "weak" graduate student, the credibility of the results will be questioned.

Firstly, what is the abbreviation of SCI? Scientific citation index is one of the three most famous retrieval systems in the world. Among them, life science, medicine, chemistry and physics account for the largest proportion, and the scope of collection is the important international journals of that year. In particular, its citation index shows unique scientific reference value, can reflect the academic level of natural science research, and occupies an important position in academic circles. SCI papers are published in journals included in SCI. In China, SCI papers are generally regarded as academic articles with a certain level, which is very worthy of reference. In many domestic units, the number of SCI papers published and the quality of periodicals are therefore regarded as an important selection basis for students' performance appraisal and graduation.

Then, why is it so difficult for master students and doctoral students to publish 1 SCI papers by themselves? The reason for this is the following:

1, the quality level of SCI papers has a certain level. SCI papers cannot be completed simply by some academic misconduct such as spending money to publish in China. SCI's periodical review process itself is very strict. Generally 2-3 people are anonymous, sometimes as many as 5 people; The reviewer will also request to return his comments on the scope, academic value and language of the article within a certain period of time. If a person gives the conclusion of rejection, the editor will generally choose to reject the manuscript. Therefore, the rejection rate of SCI is also very high.

SCI papers emphasize clear innovation, solid data analysis supporting conclusions, scientific and reasonable background discussion, relevant summary, valuable achievement discussion, clear language expression and so on. This series of requirements naturally ensure the quality of the article, and it is this high requirement that makes the publication of the article more difficult.

No matter master students or doctoral students (perhaps doctoral students are more familiar with literature reading than master students), mining and analyzing scientific problems requires certain steps such as thinking, understanding, analysis, experiment and discussion, and the road to science is always bumpy, not to mention there is no guidance.

2.SCI's logical thinking is different from China's paper. Another objective reason why SCI papers are difficult to write is the difference between its logical expression and Chinese papers. First of all, in the structure of the article, SCI papers emphasize that research methods are independent, discussion is more important than results, data analysis and processing need to be rigorous enough, and beginners will feel uncomfortable in writing habits, which is not convenient for direct narration of Chinese scientific papers; Secondly, in terms of language expression, English is naturally concise and directly expresses meaning, so there are certain requirements for English writing level, which is generally lacking in domestic graduate students; Finally, in the aspect of deep mining, Chinese essays pay more attention to the height of methods and the comprehensiveness of content description. An article can have several arguments, but the SCI paper requires that it must be deeply explored, discussed and clarified at an innovative point, and a conclusion must be drawn on the basis of discussion.

Therefore, the writing logic of SCI papers needs to be imitated and grasped on the basis of reading and understanding a large number of foreign periodical articles, which cannot be achieved overnight.

3. Graduate students' own ability level is not enough. It must be said that with the expansion of graduate enrollment scale year by year, the quality level of graduate students is declining year by year, and the most important aspect is reflected in their own abilities. On the one hand, writing a paper needs to be able to withstand loneliness and accumulate reference materials in the research field, and it needs to constantly learn from the previous research results and put forward its own innovation through critical summary. Obviously, for graduate students, the basic skills of reading literature are generally insufficient; On the other hand, the improvement of graduate students' scientific research ability is an objective spiral process, which cannot be accelerated by seedlings, and their own ability level needs to grow and precipitate in a certain period of time. According to experience, almost 70% of graduate students' essays are published in the third year of graduate students, while some excellent students publish articles in the first and second years of graduate students. However, it should be noted that these data are all completed with the assistance of tutors, brothers and sisters.

It is another fact that graduate students' research ability is not enough. At present, there are really few students who can do their own research seriously. Most of them just want to get a diploma and don't expect much from the publication of SCI papers.

4. The whole process of preparation, writing, publication, review, revision and employment of 4.SCI papers is very long.

On the one hand, the academic system of graduate students is usually 3-5 years, and the main task of the first year is theoretical study and examination; In the second year, I began to seriously study the literature and participate in some scientific research projects. During this year, my research ability began to improve. In the third year, you can basically do some independent writing, have a certain understanding of the research field, and you can also have in-depth discussions with your tutor. It can be said that the time for graduate students is very tight.

On the other hand, SCI papers need 1 year from conception to writing, and at least 1-2 years from submission to final employment, but some journals that can be published in half a year are not excluded. From this point of view, assuming that you are ready to write SCI papers from the first year of graduate school, assuming that you have a certain ability to read and write documents in the first year, objectively speaking, you need to have a 50% chance to publish in the third year of graduate school, and this has not taken into account a series of problems such as attending classes, reading documents, refusing to contribute again, and refusing to contribute again after several months.

Therefore, in terms of time, it is basically impossible for master students to complete independently, and doctoral students also need to be in the fourth and fifth grades.

5. The issue of funding for the publication of papers is a problem that puzzles countless students. Does the tutor pay for the publication of the paper? Although many SCI journals don't charge a page fee, a large number of open source journals need a high page fee, usually ranging from 1 10,000 to10.5 million yuan, and some will be higher. These funds are obviously huge for a student.

Written at the end: (1) It is too difficult for graduate students to publish an SCI article by themselves;

(2) There is a huge contradiction between graduate students' ability development and thesis writing and publication. The whole process of preparation, writing, publication, review, revision and employment of SCI papers is very long, and the normal time takes two years.

It is almost impossible to publish SCI papers by yourself. The reasons are as follows: 1. I can't fully grasp the innovation and foresight of the research topic; Second, the development of the experiment needs the support of teachers and students, whether it is funds, experimental instruments, experimental methods and experience, it is inseparable from everyone's discussion; Thirdly, the structure, logic and language of the paper can't be perfected. Fourth, you must bring your tutor's name when you publish a paper, otherwise you can't graduate; Five, the return and revision of the paper sometimes need the help of others to complete. On the other hand, it is very difficult to carry out experiments without the basic conditions of preliminary experiments, unless you have high ability and level and can solve the difficulties quickly, but at first everyone is basically blank and it is basically impossible to complete them independently. Therefore, it is still not recommended to rely entirely on yourself, because your independence will bring you loneliness and you can't integrate into the group.

It depends on your major. For subjects that do not need to do experiments, such as mathematics, SCI can be published only by students themselves. I have a doctoral student majoring in mathematics, and I published SCI myself during my study. For subjects based on experiments, such as chemistry, experimental physics and biology, it is impossible to publish SCI papers supported by experimental data, because there is no tutor to provide experimental platforms, such as reagents and testing instruments. However, students in these subjects can still write their own SCI review papers. However, when publishing a review, the magazine requires the author to provide a list of personal papers in related research directions. If the students' own research background is weak, the grade of the article may not be too high.

In short, it is possible for students with strong scientific research ability and thinking ability to publish SCI by themselves.

Chat for postgraduate entrance examination and chat with you.

The topic means, after graduate school, without any scientific research training and any guidance from my tutor, can I find out for myself whether I can send a paper or not?

I think it's difficult because sci has a routine. Without any guidance, even if your idea is groundbreaking, but you don't know how to package it according to the routine, you probably won't publish the paper, and even the editor won't send it to you for review.

How to sort out the structure of the article? How to adjust the format? What articles should be emphasized and what expressions should be avoided? What statements should be emphasized? How to be a reference? These are routines. You just copied from other people's articles, and it is difficult to correct them without mentioning many details. Experienced reviewers can tell whether an article is a novice or an old hand at a glance. Reading literature is more than ten years' work, so it's hard for you to fool around.

It is absolutely possible. But this process will be tortuous, tortuous. Memories are full of tears [cover your face]
