1. Reputation and influence of journals: Top journals usually have higher requirements for submission and more intense competition. Therefore, it is very important to choose journals that match your research field and level.
2. Paper quality and innovation: high-quality papers are more acceptable, while innovative research is more likely to attract the attention of editors and reviewers. Therefore, when writing a thesis, we should ensure that the content is rigorous, the logic is clear, the data is reliable, and the research innovation should be highlighted as much as possible.
3. Paper format and specification: Following the submission format and specification of journals is the key to improve the success rate of submission. This includes reference format, chart design, language expression and so on.
4. Review process: The review process may affect the difficulty of paper submission. Some journals adopt double-blind peer review, that is, reviewers and authors do not know each other's identity, which helps to ensure the fairness of peer review. However, double-blind review may lead to a long review time, thus increasing the difficulty of submission.
5. Subject field: The degree of research competition in different subject fields is different, and it may be more difficult to submit papers in some hot fields. In addition, interdisciplinary research may face greater challenges because it needs to meet the submission requirements of multiple disciplines at the same time.
6. Interpersonal relationship and cooperation: establishing good interpersonal relationship with journal editors and reviewers will help improve the success rate of submission. In addition, cooperation with other researchers may also provide more support and resources for the paper.
7. Time and patience: Paper submission is a long process, which may need to be revised and resubmitted many times. Therefore, patience and perseverance are the keys to successful submission.
8. Financial support: Sometimes, some journals will ask authors to pay a certain publishing fee or open access fee. These expenses may increase the difficulty of submitting papers, especially for researchers with limited funds.
In a word, the difficulty of paper submission is influenced by many factors, including journal reputation, paper quality, peer review process, subject field and so on. In order to improve the success rate of submission, researchers need to pay attention to these factors, strive to improve the quality of papers, choose appropriate journals, and have enough patience and perseverance.
