Many university teachers know that associate professors and professors, and core journal thesis, are hard currency, but core periodicals are hard to write and have low rates of admission, and many teachers have dropped their papers several times and are losing confidence. Share with you today the three core periodicals' writing skills, all of which are from the past, to help raise the recruitment rate and not turn around

First trick: selecting a periodical is more important than writing a good paper. Many teachers contribute to periodicals, regardless of their location, their columns, their blind contributions, for example, in scientific journals, and in purely scientific journals, so that they are rejected even if they are of better quality。

It is recommended that you carefully study the target periodical before making your contribution, looking at the layout of the journal, the direction of its publication, recent papers, and confirming that your papers and periodicals are located in the same direction. For example, you teach pedagogic subjects, you go to the core of educational periodicals, and focus on whether they have recently published papers that are relevant to the direction of your research. In addition, the review cycle of the periodicals, the cost of their layout, and the choice of their needs are considered in order to avoid delays in their evaluation。

The second technique: grinding the dissertations and keywords and capturing the editorial eye. The editor does not have the time to read the full text word by word at all, and the abstract and keywords are key to the editor's understanding of the core content of the paper and directly determine whether or not your paper can enter the review section。
It is important that the summary be concise, summarizing the core views, research methods, research results, not stacking irrelevant content, and contained in 300 words; and that the selection of three to five keywords be limited to the subject matter of the paper, rather than too broad and too cold, such as “higher education”, which is less targeted than “upgrading the scientific capacity of young teachers in higher education”, which makes it easier for editorial and editorial experts to focus on。

Third technique: regularizing the paper format to avoid low-level errors. The core periodicals were demanding the format of the papers, and many teachers had no problems with the quality of their papers, but it was a shame that they had been rejected directly by the editors because of the irregular format. For example, reference formatting errors, irregular font numbers and inconsistent paragraph spacing are common low-level errors。
Before making a contribution, it is important to refer to the contribution of the targeted journal and to adjust the paper format in accordance with the periodical's requirements, carefully checking references, symbols and syllables to avoid low-level errors. In addition, the title of the paper should be concise and attractive, not too long and too obscure, which would also increase the recruitment rate。

Although hard to contribute to the core periodicals, the three skills of choosing periodicals, polishing abstracts and regulating formats can significantly increase the recruitment rate.
