怎样投稿SCI期刊

English Editing Service: https://www.360docs.net/doc/8b1203629.html, How to Submit a Research Paper to a Journal In the later stages of your doctoral studies in Mathematics, one of the important things you will need to do is to submit one or more papers to research journals for possible publication. You should do this as soon as your dissertation adviser tells you that your research is ready for publication, but not before! If you are co-authoring a paper with your adviser, then he or she may be handling the submission details as the senior co-author. If so, ask your adviser to use the submission process to teach you how it is done, so you will be able to do this yourself in the future. However, if you are submitting a paper as the sole or senior author, then you will need know how to handle this process yourself. Over the years, there have been advanced graduate students who could have benefited from some general advice about the submission process. This letter has been written in the hope that you will navigate the publication process smoothly. Remember that any papers based on your dissertation research should include a grateful acknowledgment - either in the introductory section, as a footnote, or at the end. State that this work is part of your doctoral dissertation at Louisiana State University and thank your adviser. Your acknowledgment of the role of your doctoral adviser may help to insure that a journal editor takes your work seriously, since it has at least passed the scrutiny of your adviser. If other mathematicians have helped, thank them too. Most mathematicians are generous about sharing their ideas, but they will surely notice and remember if you fail to acknowledge them. This is good advice to remember for the future as well. You should give careful thought to your paper's introduction. The introduction to your paper should explain clearly what your main results are and why they are interesting or important. The introduction should tell your audience how your mathematical work is related to recent research in the area. It is very important to properly reference these works. A referee for your paper may be chosen from among the researchers whose work you cite. You would like the introduction to motivate readers to read more. Read the introductions from leading researchers in your area to give you ideas about what you should include in your introduction. Ask your adviser read your entire paper and listen carefully to his or her suggestions. It takes much experience to know how to write well for a research journal. It is likely that you will need to go through several thorough revisions before your adviser is pleased with your writing. Expect this to happen and learn from the process. It will benefit you for years to come. It is important that your paper be sent to referees with current expertise in the field of your research. With this in mind, the first thing to do is to ask your adviser to suggest a suitable journal and a suitable editor to whom to send your paper. Your adviser may know that a certain journal is an active venue for publication in your field. Before you and your adviser make a final choice of the journal to which you will submit your paper, you may be well-advised to check the backlog of the journals that you are considering. Especially during the early years of your career, you may have a practical need to get several papers into print without very long delays.Backlog information is often available at the journals' websites, as explained below. Another useful type of information which is available is the Mathematics Citation Quotient(the ratio of the number citations to the number of papers in a given journal) which is available on MathSciNet through any LSU campus computer,or from home through PAWS and the LSU Library resources.For instance, in 2004 the MCQ of Transactions of the AMS is listed at a bit more than 0.6, whereas for the Journal of the AMS it is above 2. Another citation index is available through the LSU Library. From the LSU Libraries Indexes and Databases page, which is available through your PAWS account even from home, select Web of Knowledge in the Frequently Used Databases menu.Then select Journal Citation Reports from the menu at the top of the ISI Web of Knowledge page. Many journals have websites, which you should visit to read their instructions for authors. For example the AMS Journals use this page: Information for Authors. Here is a link to a page for Transactions of the American Mathematical Society: Submissions to Transactions. You will note

SCI投稿全攻略

SCI投稿过程总结、投稿状态解析、拒稿后处理对策及接受后期相关问答综合荟萃目录 （重点是一、二、四、五、六）： （一）投稿前准备工作和需要注意的事项、投稿过程相关经验总结 （二）SCI期刊投稿各种状态详解及实例综合（学习各种投稿状态+投稿经历总结） （三）问答综合篇（是否催稿、如何撤稿、一稿两投及学术不端相关内容等） （四）如何处理审稿意见（回复意见、补实验、润色、重整数据、作图及调整、申辩及其他）（五）Reject 或者Reject and resubmit后的对策和处理 （六）稿件接受后期相关问题（作者信息、地址版权、单行本、彩图费、版面费、如何汇款、清样相关等） （七）进阶篇（如何选投SCI杂志、各专业方向期刊选择、SCI写作经验） （一）投稿前准备工作和需要注意的事项、投稿过程相关经验总结 1)第一作者和通信作者的区别： 通信作者（Corresponding author)通常是实际统筹处理投稿和承担答复审稿意见等工作的主导者，也常是稿件所涉及研究工作的负责人。 通信作者的姓名多位列于论文作者名单的最后（使用符号来标识说明是Corresponding author)，但其贡献不亚于论文的第一作者。 通讯作者往往指课题的总负责人，负责与编辑部的一切通信联系和接受读者的咨询等。 文章的成果是属于通讯作者的，说明思路是通讯作者的，而不是第一作者。 第一作者仅代表是你做的，且是最主要的参与者！ 通信作者标注名称：Corresponding author，To whom correspondence should be addressed,或The person to whom inquiries regarding the paper should be addressed.若两个以上的作者在地位上是相同的，可以采取“共同第一作者”（joint first author)的署名方式，并说明These authors contributed equally to the work。 2)作者地址的标署： 尽可能地给出详细通讯地址，邮政编码。有二位或多位作者，则每一不同的地址应按之中出现的先后顺序列出，并以相应上标符号的形式列出与相应作者的关系。 如果第一作者不是通讯作者，作者应该按期刊的相关规定表达，并提前告诉编辑。期刊大部分以星号（*）、脚注或者致谢形式标注通讯联系人。 3)挑选审稿人的几个途径： 很多SCI杂志都需要作者自己提出该篇论文的和您研究领域相关的审稿人，比较常见的是三名左右，也有的杂志要求5-8人。 介绍几个方法： ①利用SCI、SSCI、A&HCI、ISTP检索和您研究相关的科学家； ②文章中的参考文献； ③相关期刊编委或学术会议的主席、委员； ④以前发表的类似文章的审稿人； ⑤询问比较熟识的一些专业人士； ⑥交叉审稿，邀请以前的作者； ⑦若是团队序贯研究，斟酌考虑自建期刊审稿人专家库。 PS: 如果有熟悉的同领域的专家，可以推荐一两位为宜（若你全部推荐熟人也无可厚非，但编辑基本不会全部考虑，可能对你还有点特殊“眼色”了）。考虑推荐自己文章的参考文献作者较为常用，当然，如果你是负面引用的话，务必慎重了。
