SCI论文投稿前28个细节检查

在投稿之前，你是否做过以下的检查？

CHECKLIST TO USE BEFORE SUBMITTING A PAPER TO A JOURNAL Have you --------------?

1 spell checked the whole paper?

2 rewritten your paper at least three times? 3 stopped working on your paper for a day?

To see and hear your words better when you look at it again. 4 put your main point into your title?

5 put your most significant findings first? Your gold first?

6 made it easy for readers to tell from your title and your abstract what is new and important about your work?

7 made sure all your verbs and subjects match?

Plural verbs have plural subjects? Singular verbs have singular subjects? 8 spelled the same name exactly the same way throughout your paper? NOT “Bragg. . . .Brag” BUT BRAGG every time!

9 asked a friend or a native English speaker to read your paper and tell you what’s confusing or unclear?

10 changed nouns to adjectives when necessary? NOT “three dimension ordered array” BUT “three dimensional ordered array”

11 used active verbs rather than passive verbs as much as possible? NOT “The effects were investigated. . .” BUT “We investigated the effects”

12 found a way to break a sentence that’s much too long (over 4 lines) into two sentences?

13 broken up a paragraph that is way too long into two paragraphs?

14 tried to reduce your paper to its skeleton by making a one page outline of it? Might help you see if your paper is organized in the best possible way. 15 Made all equivalent items look the same? NOT “scheme 1 . . . .Scheme 2” BUT “Scheme 1. . . Scheme 2”

16 removed all contractions, such as “can’t” or “couldn’t”? and changed them to “cannot” or “could not”?

17 checked the columns of numbers in your Tables and made all the decimal points in the same column line up vertically?

18 put a noun right after “this” or “these” every time you use one of those words? 19 moved “however” away from the beginning of sentences to a spot later in a sentence where it sounds better?

20 made all your abbreviations the same? NOT 48 hrs 3 hours 2 h five h BUT 48 h 3 h 2 h 5 h

21 used strong definite words?

NOT “We have been interested in” BUT “We have focused on”

22 used parallel wording where you lead your readers to expect it? NOT “not only for fabricating. .but also for reduction” BUT “not only for fabricating. . .but also for reducing. . .”

OR “not only for the formation of. . .but also for the elimination of. . “ Don’t mix words ending in “ing” with “ion” words. 23 proofread your paper 3 times? At least! 24 read your paper aloud to yourself?

25 Did you use “later” when you meant “latter”? 26 looked for fruit in your figure captions?

A fig is a fruit you can eat, but “Fig.” is the correct abbreviation for “Figure.” Don’t forget the period in the abbreviation.

27 proofread your references? Made sure that a journal title, no matter how often it occurs, is always spelled the same way?

28 followed the reference format for the journal you are submitting to?

概述

·SCI（Scientific Citation Index)是美国科学信息研究所（ISI)编辑出版的引文索引类刊物，创刊于1964年。分印刷版、光盘版和联机板等载体。印刷版、光盘版从全球数万种期刊中选出3300种科技期刊，涉及基础科学的100余个领域。每年报道60余万篇最新文献，涉及引文900万条。

·进入SCI这一刊物的论文即为SCI论文。SCI论文，顾名思义，即为被SCI索引收录的期刊所刊登的论文，目前我国科技界对SCI论文概念模式，小部分研究者误认为SCI是一本期刊，而由于南京大学率先引用并愈来愈成为各大高校和科研机构学术评价和奖惩的一类刊物。就SCI论文本身来说，我国科研工作者大多面临英语匮乏的缺陷，尤其对于年龄大和专业性强的科技工作者来说，内容不是问题，英语往往成为了制约的瓶颈。SCI论文对我国大部分科技工作者来说依然是神秘的，难于发表的，正基于此，大部分科研机构、高校等单位引入作为评价标准，这也是比较公正，缺少人为干预的评价标准，科研工作者在工作的同时，用心于SCI论文的写作与发表，一方面使得我国科研可与国际接轨，另一方面提高了我国的科技水准，同时我国科技工作者也需要经常善于运用SCI官网进行现有论文和科技成果的查询与搜索。

编辑本段影响因子

SCI选录刊物的依据是文献分析法，即美国情报学家加费尔德提出的科学引文分析法。该分析法以期刊论文被引用的频次作为评价指标，被引频次越高，则该期刊影响越大。

在一定时期（通常是前两年）内，某一刊物发表的论文，被已经进入SCI刊物的论文所引用的总次数，除以该刊物这一时期内的论文总数，即为该刊物的影响因子。 编辑本段刊物指标

ISI对全球的自然科学刊物进行考察，凡影响因子大于某一临界值的刊物，则可以进入SCI系统。 进入SCI系统的刊物分为两类，即内圈和外圈，前者的影响因子高于后者，前者称为SCI刊物，后者称为SCIsearch刊物。 SCI刊物还分为影响因子高区（大于1.105)、中区(在1.105和0.422之间）和低区（小于0.422)3类。 衡量期刊特性的，除了影响因子外，还有及时指数（Immidiacy Index)和被引用半衰期（Cited Half Life)。

及时指数是指一种期刊当年发表的文献在当年被引用的次数与当年的文献总数之比。此指标

表示期刊论文所述的研究课题在当前的热门程度。 被引用的半衰期是指一种期刊各年发表的文献，在当年被引用次数逐年累计达到被引用总数的50%所用的年数。 被引用半衰期反映期刊论文研究题目的延续时间，即期刊论文时效性的长短，或知识更新的快慢。

综合SCI刊物的各个指标，可以看出一篇SCI论文的学术价值及影响力！ 编辑本段重要性

1.随着经济全球化，科学研究也日益全球化，SCI论文是进行国际科学交流的重要方式，也是使国际同行了解我们的主要渠道。

2.发表SCI论文，可以向世界显示我国基础研究的实力，提高我国在世界科学界的地位。在世界著名刊物如Nature和Science上发表一篇重要文章，对于某一学科而言，其意义不亚于在国际体育比赛中取得一块金牌。

3.发表SCI论文的多少和论文被引用率的高低，是国际上通用的评价基础研究成果水平的标准。是招聘、提升、考核、评奖的重要指标。

4. 就基础研究而言，在什么样档次的刊物上发表的论文，便具有什么样档次的水平，一目了然，一般不再需要鉴定。成果不是在国际知名的SCI刊物上发表，便很难被认为是国际水平的。

5. 发表SCI或SSCI论文是地理与资源所基础研究领域博士生取得博士学位的必要条件。也是联系出国深造时使国外导师了解自己的最好方式。 编辑本段基本要求

·Clear: 思路清晰、概念清楚、层次清楚、表达清楚

·Complete:内容完整、结构完整匀称，切忌虎头蛇尾，有始无终 Correct：科学内容正确（不出错）、资料数据正确（数据可靠、可信）、语言正确（无语法错） ·Concise：论述深刻、充分揭示其科学内涵、使用定量方法

只有克服心理障碍，建立自信心， 熟悉SCI文章的思维方式及语言风格，勇于尝试，才能取得成功！
