SCI articles of small skills —— absolutely useful!

Because published SCI articles are not much, so dare not to talk about experience, can only use small skills to sum up, there is the suspicion of opportunistic. However, in this era of taking SCI as the task of scientific research, under the principle of not violating academic ethics and norms, it is still wise as long as it can be published.insignificant skill:

1 The article should not be too long, with 1.5 times the row spacing as the standard, 15-20 pages is appropriate, including references

If the article is too long, the focus is not prominent enough. After the reviewer read it for a long time, he felt still in the clouds and did not know what to do. To the reader, who wants to read a lazy woman binding her feet? At least I don't want. Seeing a PDF of over 20 pages, I never tried to read it completely because it was a waste of time. The finishing touch of an article is so a few places, can not be the essence.

2 In the introduction, make sure that your research is different from others

The so-called eye-catching strategy, let people have a strong impulse to read on. Of course, this is more easy to say, but more difficult to do. In my experience, this part focuses on describing what is different, rather than consistently listing other people's work.

3 The method part, try to adopt the international mainstream method

 This part is the simplest, no skill, just realistic. However, some people like to follow the trend, say what SPSS is outdated, everyone is using R. I also say, is it necessary? Is the average and standard deviation calculated by R software more accurate than SPSS? For the general scientific researcher, SPSS is fully competent for data analysis. Besides, you're used to using it, so why follow the trend with an R? EXCEL works without special statistical analysis, let alone SPSS.

 Some people, like to play models, all day this model, that model, in the end they do not know what they are doing. What I despise most is that such people, who always try to adjust the parameters in order to fit the model. At the end of the day, it is a fraud to eliminate all the probably very important heresy, what is the significance of such research.

Let me give you a simple example of examining the happiness index of a community. It turned out that several people were very low, even borrowing. However, these abnormal values were removed irresponsibly in order to fit with the relevant model. In fact, our study should focus more on these groups. If the leader sees that everyone is very happy, then there is still the responsibility and the motivation to benefit the people?

4 Results section, don't chart too much

As long as the results of the data can be fully presented to the reader, there is no need to draw the so-called beautiful charts. Of course, if the chart is beautifully designed, it will bring people visual enjoyment. But for researchers, this estimate is not effective, because for perspective, seeing an American blockbuster is definitely more direct and more affordable than seeing a few beautiful charts. According to my published article, 2-4 charts are enough.

5 Conclusion and discussion part, this is the core part of the article, must not present a top-heavy pattern

 With others research conclusion consistent with the place, dragonfly water a few strokes can be. The key is to discuss different things from other people's conclusions, and list whatever you can think of or see in the literature. This way, on the one hand, it shows your profound knowledge, on the other hand, it also fully demonstrates the depth and breadth of your understanding of the problem. If anyone doesn't help in this place, wait to be shot. As for the conclusion, two-three is enough. If one of your articles has a dozen conclusions, wouldn't your researchers be laid off?

 In short, in a word, an article is a short story. Remember, it's a small story, not a big story. Otherwise, it should be a monograph or a book. As for the writing point of this story is short, simple and clear. Never ignore the number of pages or the number of words. The place of the precious ink such as gold is not extravagant and waste, the place of the splashing ink is not stingy. Also, try not to imitate other people's writing style, as long as you can explain the story, how to write, as you please.

 These tricks are childish, but they work. Believe it or not, I believe it anyway, and it works very well. All the articles I wrote have been accepted except for one amendment. Unfortunately, however, there are too few stories coming in, so there are certainly few opportunities to tell stories. But this can only blame me, two consecutive even after the fund are not applied, or ability is not good.

 Well, cultivate internal forces, accumulate positive energy, in order to continue to fight in the future!

Oh, yes, and add, the most suitable journal, don't focus on the IF. Some journals IF are high, but their reputation is not necessarily rising. On the contrary, which very traditional journals, although IF is relatively low, but the industry are highly respected. Scientific research results show in the most suitable place, that is a professional researcher should have the quality. The pursuit of high IF, that is the interest of administrators, and researchers do what?
