However, it is not easy to successfully publish a high-quality SCI paper, which most authors must have a deep understanding of. Let's analyze why it is so difficult to publish a good SCI paper.
On the one hand, writing papers is no easier than doing experiments. We often find that in universities, some master students and doctoral students seem to be able to complete the experimental tasks assigned by their tutors, but it is not so smooth to finish their thesis writing.
This is why many graduate students think it is more difficult to write papers than to do experiments. It is very difficult for them to write a high-level paper, especially an SCI paper that meets the requirements in English, which is quite difficult for many graduate students and even experts and professors.
Although the current master students and doctoral students have about ten years or more experience in English learning, effective written academic English expression is often the bottleneck restricting the writing level of papers.
It is so difficult to write SCI papers, which also explains why some researchers have to find special funds from the research funds that are not plentiful, and hire people with paper writing expertise to take charge of academic services such as paper polishing, paper translation and paper revision.
On the other hand, it is also difficult to publish SCI papers. For most researchers, the process of writing SCI papers is hard enough, but the process of publishing papers is also not easy, and it will even bring them a great blow. First, the contribution rate and employment rate are very low, because there are many people engaged in scientific research all over the world and many people want to publish research papers. The number of manuscripts received by journals far exceeds the number they can hire, especially the core journals of SCI. Some manuscripts may be rejected in the pre-examination of journal editors.
The low utilization rate of manuscripts in SCI journals, or the high rejection rate, is due to the quality problems of manuscripts, such as lack of originality, and more often because of fierce competition. Journals can only choose the best manuscripts within a limited space. Generally speaking, it is difficult for a first-time contributor to type a manuscript at once, which may be caused by the lack of experience of the contributor, the journal editor's ignorance of the contributor and his careful use of the manuscript. For example, sometimes, the anonymity of the author's unit will increase the difficulty of soliciting papers, because reviewers may be skeptical about the author's research conditions and the reliability of data.
In addition, the publication cycle of SCI papers is long, which is also an anxiety problem for many domestic authors who are required to publish papers within the specified time. Under normal circumstances, it takes at least half a year to a year for SCI papers to be submitted, reviewed, revised and finalized, to go through copyright transfer procedures, sample verification and official distribution, and often it takes more than one year. However, our domestic academic management institutions often "settle accounts" at the end of the year. If we can't "cash" the papers, it will be "ugly".
Generally speaking, from scientific research to the publication and influence of papers is a process of value refining. Not all the research we have done is effective, but only some of it may be effective, that is to say, not all effective research is worth writing a report or paper, but only a part of it.
And even if the paper can be published successfully, it is necessary to make a discount on whether the research results are worthy of attention and reading. Therefore, it is difficult for people engaged in scientific research to publish a good SCI paper, gain the recognition of readers and become recognized scientists who have contributed to society and mankind.
