Basic steps for EI to retrieve contributions

First of all, carry on the literature retrieval work to obtain the latest reference materials, then determine the topics of the papers retrieved by EI, draw up the topics, and then select the journals to be invested, find out the impact factors of these journals, and at the same time find out whether the scope of these journals include the contents of your papers. Then look for the contribution instructions for the publication to be submitted, and write academic papers according to the requirements of (contribution instructions) (Notes for Contributions).

(1) choose a publication

Journals with high impact factors are more likely to be indexed by EI. The steps for selecting the journals to be contributed from the source journals searched by EI are as follows.

① first looks up the subject catalogue of source journals in EI to determine the subject scope of manuscripts, and checks the latest impact factors of journals included in JCR to select which of these journals are suitable for the "grade" of their contributions.

② comprehensive evaluation. Find out the organizer, contact information, publishing form, publication cycle, report content, contribution requirements and so on, so as to meet the requirements of the publication as far as possible in order to improve the hit rate of the contribution.

③ in recent years, EI retrieval has also included some electronic journals. Generally speaking, electronic journals require researchers to send manuscripts to the editorial department of the electronic journals through the network. Striving for the publication of sci-tech papers in electronic journals included in EI retrieval is also a way to be included in EI retrieval.

④ uses the influence of discipline leaders or the conditions of international academic exchanges to find journals that best understand Chinese academic research and trust Chinese scholars. About 1 / 3 of the journals selected by EI are American journals, and American journals should be chosen as desired.

(2) understanding of publications

Before writing and in the process of writing, we must read a large number of references of the major, especially the foreign literature in recent years, in order to get an understanding of the recent research situation of the major. If similar data or similar conclusions have been published, your chances of publishing your article will also be reduced, in which case at least do not contribute to the same magazine. Even if it can be published in other magazines, the value of the article will be reduced. Be sure to skim through the relevant papers that have been published, and read the directly relevant ones in more detail, especially to compare your conclusions with those of your predecessors.

(3) address query

After the target journal is determined, the contribution address of the journal can be queried by the following methods:

① looks in the latest issue of the target journal.

② searches the websites of large publishers, such as IEEE, Elsevier, Springer, etc., for contribution guides for journals included in the database.

③ individual journals should be searched by search engines, generally searching for the name of the issue or ISSN number, plus Manuscript Submission, Author Information, Author Guide, Author Instruction (S), Author Resources and other words.

(4) online contribution

In recent years, EI has also included some electronic journals one after another. Generally speaking, electronic journals require researchers to send manuscripts to the editorial department of the electronic journal through the network.

Before submitting a manuscript, we should first understand the structure and format requirements of the magazine, such as the format and readability requirements of the paper, the format of titles, drawings, tables, figures, thanks, references, etc. If you revise the manuscript according to the requirements of the contribution journal, you will have more control over the publication of the paper.

Online contribution has the advantage of fast prescription. The author can submit the article directly to the appropriate editorial department by email. The method is that on the front page of the journal, click "contribute online" and pop up a retrieval interface. At this time, as long as you enter keywords in the search box of the journal name, you can find out the e-mail mailbox of the relevant journal and its editorial department, and submit the contribution by e-mail.

The degree of interest of each magazine and the requirements for the length of articles are more or less different. Choosing the right magazine will improve the hit rate. It is necessary to properly estimate the level of your article and choose a magazine of a certain level that suits the level of the article.

(5) waiting for review

The review of papers in international journals is very strict. After the manuscript arrives, it must first be examined by the staff of the editorial department (language, writing format, etc.), and then sent to the relevant judges for evaluation. The judges are 2-3 people, all of whom are world-class experts in the same research direction. The judges usually spend 3 months reviewing the paper, including the references listed after the article. Then send you a review opinion and a lot of questions for you to answer, and even suggest you do a supplementary experiment. After several exchanges of views, you can decide whether your paper will be adopted or not. In other words, after spending a lot of energy and financial resources, there is a great possibility that they will not be published in the end, and those who contribute to international journals should be prepared. Of course, you can learn a lot while exchanging views with the judges. Generally speaking, it takes more than a year from contribution to publication.
