In the office, upon hearing Tian Liangwei's inquiry, a rare trace of hesitation appeared on Xu Yun's face.
He was silent for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth:
"Teacher, if I have the chance, I would like to publish a journal for District One."
"District 1..."
Tian Liangwei tapped his index finger on the table, without feeling too surprised, and muttered:
"Xiao Xu, you should know that imidacloprid, as a nicotine pesticide, has a substance name, but its patent has expired in 2011.
So if you want to publish a journal article in the first area, four generations is definitely not enough, five generations is the most basic requirement, is that okay?"
Xu Yun nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
When talking about papers, the words SCI and nature may come to most people's minds.
But in fact, the former and the latter are not the same category of concepts.
SCI, many people mistakenly think it is the abbreviation of "Science" magazine, but this is actually wrong!
The full name of SCI is Science Citation Index, which refers to a journal directory index operated by Clarivate Analytics and is not a separate magazine.
If a journal is included in this index, it means that it has a certain quality. You can go to this website to check whether the target journal is indexed.
Clarivate Analytics also developed an indicator called impact factor based on the citation data of each journal in the past two years.
Taking 1992 as an example, calculate the impact factor of a certain journal in that year:
X = Taking 1992 as the base point, the total number of papers in a journal that were cited in 1990 and 1991 in 1992.
Y = Taking 1992 as the base point, the total number of papers published in a certain journal in 1990 and 1991.
IF1992=(X(1990,1991)/Y(1990,1991)).
Clarivate has assigned partitions to different disciplines based on their impact factors. This partition made by Clarivate is called the JCR partition.
The impact factor ranking in the top 25% of the journals in the corresponding discipline is Q1, the top 26~50% is Q2, and so on.
In addition to Clarivate Analytics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also divides journals into different zones. The full name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ zone is the "Journal Partition Table of the Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences", which also divides journals into four zones.
But it is pyramid-shaped, with the top 5% of journals in Zone 1, 6% to 20% in Zone 2, 21% to 50% in Zone 3, and the rest in Zone 4.
The zoning of the Chinese Academy of Sciences mainly considers influencing factors, but there are also certain artificial adjustments.
Make a vivid metaphor:
Posting an SCI article can be compared to climbing a mountain. There are many mountains, some high and some low.
The mountains at your doorstep are mountains, the hills are mountains, the Five Sacred Mountains are mountains, and the Himalayas are also mountains.
SCI journals have many divisions, and these divisions correspond to different mountains. Whether it is difficult to publish an SCI article mainly depends on what mountain you want to climb.
The SCI in the third and fourth districts are probably the mountains that are difficult to climb in small counties or prefecture-level cities, the second district is some famous regional mountains, and the first district is the Five Mountains, which are majestic but deep and beautiful.
The Nature sub-journal is almost like the Himalayas. As for Nature, Cell and Science, it is the well-deserved Mount Everest, also called CNS.
The above is the detailed relationship between the papers, and useless knowledge has been added.JPG.
Most of the divisions currently used in China are the divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but most people are exposed to divisions three and at most two.
At the same time, when talking about thesis, we have to talk about another thing:
The price of essay writing.
Friends who often go to Weibo to eat melons should know that two major things have happened in the thesis world in recent years:
First, a large number of local SCI papers were exposed for fraud, and secondly, after the incident involving an actor surnamed Zhai, the paper plagiarism checks became more stringent, which resulted in some graduate students being forced to publish SCI papers to avoid duplication of themselves and their own papers.
In addition, the competition in scientific research is becoming more and more fierce, and it is becoming more and more difficult to publish papers. Naturally, the price of SCI papers has also increased.
At present, the price of ghostwriting for domestic core journals is about 8k, the price of junk SCI with 1 cent or a fraction of a cent is 30,000+, the price of about 2 cents is 60,000+, and the price of 3 cents or more is more than 100,000.
As for those with five points or above, the minimum is 200,000!
So why do some people start essay companies? Because they do make money...
His gaze returned to its original position.
After understanding Xu Yun's goals or aspirations, Tian Liangwei seriously helped him come up with ideas:
"Xiao Xu, if you plan to apply for a regional journal, you must first make it clear that you will definitely have no chance in the main journals of "Cell" and "Nature". Is that okay?"
Xu Yun nodded and said calmly:
"Understand that the academic value of the fifth generation imidacloprid is much lower than its commercial value. I knew this from the beginning."
When Tian Liangwei heard this, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. The most important thing in doing academic work is to have a clear enough positioning for yourself:
"In this case, let me recommend several journals to you, "NUCLEIC ACIDS RES", "TRENDS IN BIOCHEMICAL SCIENCES", "EMBO JOURNAL" or "CURRENT BIOLOGY"."
Xu Yun held a pen while listening and taking notes. After his teacher finished speaking, he first crossed a line in the middle of "EMBO JOURNAL":
"Forget about "EMBO JOURNAL". Although it is an old journal, it mainly deals with DNA, which is somewhat inconsistent with proteins..."
Tian Liangwei didn't say anything. He only gave suggestions. The final choice had to be made by Xu Yun himself.
Xu Yun then excluded "NUCLEIC ACIDS RES":
""NUCLEIC ACIDS RES" is pretty good...but the review cycle is too long, and teacher, I remember that its editor-in-chief said some not-so-good things last year?"
Tian Liangwei was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head, annoyed:
"Look at my memory, why did I forget about this? I deleted it quickly. If I submit this book to this company, I guess it will get a 404 on the first day it goes on the shelves!"
When Xu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
In recent years, due to well-known reasons, some academic magazines have gradually put on some colored glasses, and the entire international academic environment has begun to become somewhat repressive, with various local remarks and even conspiracies following one after another.
You said that some magazines do not engage in good academic work, so why would they get involved in this kind of thing?
Then Xu Yun took back his thoughts and moved his gaze to the remaining two journals, with hesitation in his eyes:
""CURRENT BIOLOGY" is indeed a good choice. Its IF has been rising since 2016, and the review speed is also very fast.
As for this "NUCLEIC ACIDS RES"...Teacher, if I remember correctly, it seems to be a journal for manuscripts?"
Tian Liangwei nodded and said:
“Yes, IF13.8 is very authoritative and influential, but it is mainly in the form of commissioned articles, with only more than 70 articles published a year.
But Xiao Xu, if you want to apply for this journal, I can recommend it to you."
Xu Yun suddenly looked at his teacher with an expression that said, "You still have overseas connections?"
Seeing Xu Yun's somewhat surprised look, Tian Liangwei raised his chin in an arrogant manner, strategically picked up the tea cup and took a sip:
"Isn't this surprising? Your teacher's H-index is 77. Do you understand the value of a biomedical professor's H-index of 77?
To tell you the truth, when your teacher goes to visit other countries, his editor-in-chief has to pick him up at the airport and accompany him to dinner."
After showing off his gold content, Tian Liangwei's expression returned to calm:
"I know the editor of "NUCLEIC ACIDS RES" and several external review professors. One of them is a top Chinese scholar. Recruiting and reviewing manuscripts is not difficult."
After hearing this, if Xu Yun still doesn't understand Tian Liangwei's thoughts, then he might as well stop studying. After all, the review time for regular papers is really too long:
"Then teacher, I will prepare the paper according to the requirements of "NUCLEIC ACIDS RES"?"
Tian Liangwei nodded and said:
"I personally recommend that you vote for "NUCLEIC ACIDS RES". After all, it is easy to do things if you have acquaintances. Now you can prepare the relevant papers of the fourth generation first. If you break through the fifth generation, you can directly add them to the back page. In this way
There is still some effort left."
After explaining the matter about the journal, Tian Liangwei briefly chatted with Xu Yun for a few words, and Xu Yun said goodbye in a sensible manner.
