For first-time academic friendsCore periodicals“, the terms “publicity” may be confusing. Many people say that i want a core journal before they pass the title, but they can't accept it at first glance, and then ask in detail that the original author wanted a good journal and an authoritative journal。Academic journalsClassification by academic status into core and general periodicals, as criteria for the award of merit. So what's the core? What's a popular issue? What is the difference between core journals and universal publications
I. What are core periodicals
Core periodicals are those that have been identified as highly influential in a disciplined field, after rigorous screening and evaluation. Core periodicals are usually used only when they are considered positive, lecturers, associate professors and professors, and core periodicals are demanding of authors. The core journal consists of the following abbreviations: great north, great south, science and technology, etc。
There is a system of selection of seven core (or source) periodicals:
Beijing university library, chinese core journal; abbreviated as north core or chinese core。
University of nanjing, “cssci source journal; abbreviated “south core”
China institute for scientific and technological information, journal of statistical sources of chinese science and technology papers, also known as the science and technology caucus。
The documentation and intelligence centre of the chinese academy of sciences, “the chinese scientific quoting database (cscd) source journal”。
The centre for documentation information of the chinese academy of social sciences, “central chinese journal of humanities and social sciences” — core of the faculty of social sciences。
Chinese society of humanities and social sciences, “central journal of the chinese society for humanities and society science”, ami。
“china core journal selection database” by all china data inc。
Selection system of core foreign periodicals (or source periodicals):
Sci (united states scientific index), ssci (united states index of social science index), ei (engineering index)
Ii. What are ordinary periodicals
Universally known as cn refers to legitimate journals that are not recognized as core journals by authoritative bodies (e. G., north, south), usually divided into two categories: provincial and national. These publications are registered and made public in the general press and publication service and have legitimate national and international titles. The academic level and influence of the issue are generally lower than that of the core journal, but still have some academic value and recognition。
Iii. What are the differences between core journals and general publications
1. Different word requirements for articles
The number of words required for general core periodicals is higher, at least 5,000 words, more than 7,000 words for cssci periodicals, and more than 10,000 words for some periodicals, or more than 15,000 words, which undoubtedly makes it more difficult to write articles. The number of words required for a universal publication is less, usually less than 5,000 words, the summary and references are removed, and fewer words are actually available in the body of the text, which makes it much less difficult for authors to write, although the number of words is small, to make the subject clear。
2. Different publication cycles and difficulties
Most of the core journal papers have a review cycle of between one and three months, with a publication cycle of about six to 14 months, which is also a longer publication cycle, given the quality of your articles, if they are of average quality. In order to ensure the publication of core periodicals, authors need to be prepared at least one year in advance. The shorter cycle of popular publications at the provincial and national levels, from review to presentation, is usually three to five months。
3. Differentity of review rates
Repetition rates for articles vary between universal and core periodicals, with lower generic requirements, which are generally within 30 per cent and some periodicals require within 20 per cent; while repetition rates for core periodicals generally vary between 5 and 15 per cent, depending on the type of journal。
4. Quantified ratings vary in level
In the evaluation rules of most units, the core periodicals have a three-to-five-fold base rating. The scores for a university of higher education show that the chinese core journal is 10 points per book, the north core is 8 points, and the universal journal is 2-3 points. More critically, core journals also receive an “impact factor plus” — an additional 30 per cent for journals published in impact factor > 2, without any additional points in the publication。
The value of the core journal lies in its “academic credibility”, which can hardly be replaced by a universal journal, which has emerged from a rigorous peer review. The popular publication, more than anything else, is a “knock-in-the-door” at the beginning of research that does not support competition for high-level titles. For filers, the key is to develop strategies based on the stage of their functional title; the initial stage is based on universal publications, the intermediate stage is a trial of core periodicals, and the secondary level and above must capture the high-quality core. At the same time, it is important to bear in mind that the “real value of the results” is always more important than a mere “level” for both core and universal publications. After all, the ultimate goal of the review is not "number of papers", but rather to determine whether your academic abilities meet the requirements of the corresponding title -- to understand this, so that every paper published becomes an effective aid for promotion。
The publication of the core paper is a recognition of individual scientific capabilities and is difficult. The majority of masters and all doctorates in the country have requirements for dissertations, and the required periodicals tend to influence core periodicals with higher factors. At the social level, the promotion of doctor, teacher, researcher, senior engineer, etc., has required academic research and the publication of thesis, and every year there is a rigid demand for millions of core thesis in the country, while every year the core thesis is published in hundreds of thousands of places, with a small number of porridges. It's often used in popular magazinesReview of functional titlesSuch scenarios as the presentation of academic results, particularly in the absence of an explicit request for core periodicals. While the academic influence of the publication is limited, the publication of the paper still provides some evidence of the author's academic qualities. It's useful if it's available to you. However, some periodicals of relatively high quality have to be published. The impact factor for core journals is generally above 0. 5. Even if the core periodicals are not available, the publication will select a universal publication with a high impact factor。
