1, look at the layout
Perhaps many novices who have never been exposed to the publishing industry are not quite sure what layout means. The layout is subject to the regulations of the society, generally referring to the front and back pages, that is, one page, unless otherwise specified. Some authors may have encountered this problem. The same publication has almost the same number of words, but the price is much lower. This situation excludes the reasons why some periodicals are priced according to quality. Generally, your paper is just stuck at the critical point of the number of words in the layout.
2. Look at this problem
Before you publish your paper, be sure to find out when the latest issue of this publication will be published, otherwise it will be a big loss if it doesn't match the time when you evaluate your professional title.
In addition, some local units require the number of printed pages of articles published in the database as the evaluation requirement, so it is necessary to advance the mailing time of paper publications by 1-2 months, because it takes time to update the article data in the database, some publications are very fast, and some publications are very busy when updating the database, so it is necessary to know in advance.
3, look at the audit time
When submitting a manuscript, be sure to ask the periodical department in advance how long it will take to review the manuscript and how long it will take to publish it. These are also an important factor that affects your evaluation of professional titles. If the evaluation time is too long, the title evaluation will be tragic.
Finally, a reminder, don't be cheated by fake journals just because you are in a hurry to evaluate your professional titles! The more this time, the more we should be vigilant. You can ask me any questions about periodical publishing.
