Some people say that the thesis is nothing more than a means of evaluating professional titles, promoting positions, raising wages and obtaining degrees. This is just a narrow view, and the value of publishing SCI papers is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First, it can be recognized by peers and society at home and abroad.

If a valuable scientific research SCI paper is published in local journals in Chinese, the chances of its value being recognized by international peers are relatively small. However, the evaluation process of SCI papers is fair and transparent, and its authority and influencing factors are unmatched by local publications. Whether academic papers are included or cited by SCI has always been regarded as an important criterion for evaluating academic level by the scientific community.

Second, it is the need of academic exchange.

Most of the most famous and influential SCI papers in the world are published in English journals and included by SCI. Therefore, publishing SCI papers is a prerequisite for academic exchanges with foreign counterparts. SCI papers report the leading scientific research achievements in a certain field, which plays the role of exchanging information, spreading skills, showing oneself and exploring the experience in a specific field.

Third, it is the need to cultivate the comprehensive ability of scientific and technological talents.

In the process of writing SCI papers, the author needs to read a large number of relevant professional documents, conduct detailed and repeated research experiments, and write an article by sorting out, synthesizing, analyzing, judging and reasoning the obtained data. This process not only improves our own knowledge and broadens our scientific research ideas, but also lays a solid foundation for future scientific research work.

It is precisely because SCI papers are so important that for colleagues engaged in scientific research, whether they can write an academic paper included in SCI means whether they have entered the international academic frontier in this field and whether they can compete with researchers all over the world on this open platform. Some netizens ridiculed that the first sentence when they meet in the future will be "Did you SCI this year?" If you don't send it, you are out! "
