It is a great honor for graduate students majoring in biology, medicine and pharmacy to publish their own articles in SCI journals. To put it more secular, a SCI paper (even a journal with an IF lower than 1.5) will bring a lot of glory to a master. Of course, for doctoral students, the IF of SCI is the guarantee for their smooth graduation. In the early stage, I saw in the forum that the doctor could not graduate and threatened the tutor with death. The reason is only because of a paper. Is it really that difficult to publish SCI papers? In my opinion, it is not difficult to publish SCI papers with experimental results. The experimental results here are not necessarily the results of the "first report" of domestic professors. If your experimental results can be organized into a reasonable story, you can submit an SCI paper. 1. Paper writing. Thesis writing was not built in a day. Read a lot of literature in the early stage, and make a note of it, so that you won't be impressed after reading it. More importantly, it lays a good foundation for selecting references in the future. Because when quoting references, it should be targeted and not be quoted indiscriminately. For example, you read in Cell that Ms Blackburn ·E·H and her postdoctoral researcher Grader CW discovered telomeres at 1985. Then you can record it. It is very convenient to use. Here I suggest you use Endnote to manage documents, which is very useful for document management and paper writing. With this software, you can classify all the documents and make appropriate records in the abstract. When writing a thesis, Endnote's advantages in reference management are reflected. All references are entered with one key, and there is no need to write by hand at all. As we all know, submission is rarely successful, and each journal has its own specific reference requirements. In case the manuscript is unsuccessful, it will be revised and transferred to other journals. If the references in other journals are different, you will be miserable. You need to modify it manually. It is very simple to use Endnote, which contains reference templates and writing templates for high-scoring journals. So don't worry about the format at all. If the low-scoring journals don't include their reference patterns and writing templates, you have two ways: First, find the same reference templates. For example, if you contribute to ABBS, you will find that the document format of Cell is the same as ABBS. You only need to select the document format of the cell in the endnote insertion format. One-click completion. Second, if you can't find the same template, you can write it yourself, which is also very simple. I won't go into details here. I read many papers and did almost the same experiment. I need to write a paper by hand. When writing a paper, you must concentrate on it. You don't have to write thank you from the summary. Finally, you can write methods and thanks, but the summary must be carefully selected. Abstract is a high summary of an article. When you collect information, you usually read the abstract of the article to know whether it is suitable for you to read. The abstract of the article should fully reflect the in-depth summary of the significance of carrying out this study. The introduction mainly summarizes the research in this field and leads to the problems to be solved and studied. Explain why this research is conducted, and so on. The materials and methods are relatively better, so let's talk about the methods and steps in detail. Results and discussions are also important. In the results section, the test results are discussed, usually supplemented by pictures. The pictures of the experiment must be clear, otherwise the reviewer will let you do the experiment again. If you say something irresponsible, you can misspell a word, but the picture must not be blurred. The discussion is to further explore the significance of the results. The discussion in SCI journals is not as imaginative as the last discussion in domestic journals, and the basic principle of discussion writing is practicality and conciseness. 2. The thesis is divided into summary articles and experimental articles. When submitting a manuscript, we must first have an accurate positioning of our own papers, which requires reading a large number of documents and mastering the research status and research hotspots in this field. What is the significance of your work to the current research? Periodicals are the main channel for readers to communicate with each other. Many scientists are engaged in similar research, and there are many unsolved problems bothering them. If your research can provide an argument for these problems, even a small branch. Your paper can also be submitted to journals with higher IF. My major as a graduate student was telomerase. This research mainly focuses on the relationship between telomerase activity detection and telomere and cell aging signal pathway. Telomerase detection method was published in 1994. Now the method is very mature and the kit has been developed. There are many signal pathways between telomerase and cell senescence. If we can find some factors that regulate cell signaling pathway, the high ones can be sent to cells, and the low ones can also be sent to journals with more than 3 points. If you summarize the signal path, it is impossible to include it unless you are a big cow in this field, because it is difficult to explain why in this field. If you can explain why, this article can be published on Cell. If you review the detection method of telomerase, you will be Out. This review was published in the 1990s. Therefore, before submitting a manuscript, we must master the research trends in this field and make clear the positioning of our achievements when submitting a manuscript. 3. After selecting the manuscript of the periodical, we began to choose the periodical. How to choose periodicals? Search on Google? That's a needle in a haystack! I recommend that everyone have a table of impact factors in recent 3-5 years. The influence factors of general journals have little change, if they are arranged in the Excel table in ascending or descending order. IF you think your article can be submitted to a journal with a score of 1, then you can search for journals with an if of 1 in the journal column, and find journals in the fields of biology, medicine and pharmacy, and you can find more at one time. Then go to official website to see the scope of the periodical to ensure the accuracy of the scope. 4. Online submission At present, Elsevier, Springer, Wiley and other databases all adopt online submission mode, and contributors need to know something about the submission system. Because the first submission is unfamiliar with the submission interface, there are often some unexpected problems, and you will become proficient after several operations. The system of each periodical is different, but the principle is the same. Generally speaking, you need to write a cover letter when submitting a manuscript. This needs to be written in advance, and then you can copy and paste it. Subsequent communication is mainly through the mailbox, so the mailbox must be an ordinary mailbox. This is very important. In general, you will receive an email from the editor of the journal within one week of submission, informing you that your manuscript has been submitted to the reviewer. The trial of the article began. The reviewer comments on your paper, and then feeds it back to the journal editor, who then feeds it back to you. Generally, there are two reviewers, and there are only a few opinions given by probability analysis: of course, some journals have three reviewers, so I won't say much here. The reason is the same! Congratulations, your paper has entered the stage of minor revision. Only one step away from the publication of the article! Of course, we can't be careless, and some of them will be rejected if they enter this link. It only needs to be carefully revised according to the requirements of the judges, and it should be no problem to publish an excellent review and a bad review. This is common and is called manor revision. What you have to do here is to modify the content of bad reviews and reply one by one. Please note that it is revised item by item and replied item by item. If you have a request, you should also reply. Same treatment. When writing a reply, you need to tell the editor. It is suggested to use the method of dividing lines to list one by one. This is very clear. If your revision meets the requirements of the judges, you can make minor revisions or publish directly. If it doesn't meet the requirements, your result is rejection. In theory, it is possible for you to switch to major repairs, but in practice it is unlikely. You need to change it to another manuscript. It takes about 25 days for the manuscript to be sent to the reviewer for a reply (that is, the time for the editor to give you a reply). The time for major repairs and minor repairs is different. The time of overhaul is sometimes the same as that of the manuscript reviewer, and the time of minor repair will be shorter, but it does not rule out that the manuscript reviewer will reply at the same time. 6. The mood after receiving the paper is definitely different. At that time, you will feel that it is worthwhile to stay up late and insist for so many years. The tutor will be much gentler to you. Brothers and sisters will surround you for advice. . . This is gossip. Let's talk about the work after receiving the paper, that is, handing over the copyright (you transfer the publishing right to the journal). At this time, the official interaction is not your business, and the tutor will communicate with you there. If he needs you, he will come to you. Journals generally have remuneration, generally 100-200 dollars. You can't get this fee. Because the journal advises you not to take this fee, because they say in the letter that editors and reviewers are very hard, and this fee can buy them some gifts. The tutor will do you a favor and tell you that we don't want the money. At that time, I felt very happy to publish the paper, so I didn't want the money. Ha ha! Those who have colorful pages have to pay money, which is not low, but don't worry, as long as your paper is published, the money is paid by the tutor. Copyright transfer, after receiving the admission notice, I will give you a manuscript for you to proofread and see if there are any mistakes. There is nothing wrong. Ready for publication. After that, wait for the journal to be published online.
