Masao Kudo: how to publish 5 SCI articles a year

Today's hero is Masao Kudo , Tianjin University direct doctoral student , Only in the second semester did Bo Si hit the first article in his life SCI, Since then, he has published periodicals of various levels all the way , graduate , Create your own utilitarianism and study bo ！ He wanted to say ：

“ Take the first step bravely , The victory will belong to you .”

Next, let's walk into the story of Koto Masao .

Masao Kudo said

I believe every doctoral student is interested in SCI Both love and hate , The mood is complicated . Many younger martial brothers and sisters come to me to talk , Say that you are already Bo San Bo si , But there is no SCI, I feel that graduation is far away , More and more anxious . He even regretted that he had made the choice of reading a doctoral degree , And I have deep doubts about my ability , Become less and less confident ！

I feel the same way , Because as a direct doctoral student , I didn't hit the first paper in my life until the end of the second semester of Bo Si SCI, And then it's like that layer of window paper , One after another , One year later, I graduated with a doctor's degree .

Here I want to share some of my experiences , Is more of a SCI Writing skills , I hope it can help the younger martial brothers and sisters who are confused or at a low point at this time ！

1、 I and SCI Love and hate

There is an old saying in the doctoral circles ： No, SCI A doctor is like a concubine without children in the harem ！ I am a direct doctoral student , I have high hopes from my tutor . However , Until the end of Bosi express , I actually wrote one SCI All missed .

It's not that I don't work hard , Actually, from the second semester of Bo San , I started to contribute , But everything was rejected , There were a lot of rejection letters , I can feel the disappointment of my tutor .

I can only put all my eggs in one basket , I got my highest level at the end of the last semester of Bo Si , It took a lot of effort , We also specially invited a touch up agency to touch up , I wrote an article that I was most satisfied with at that time , Cast a second zone SCI.

God did not grant what one prayed for , In March, I received a rejection letter just after the school started , Collapse mentality , Looking at this rejection letter, I began to doubt my ability , Even feel that there is no way to go , The five-year direct blogging period has left more than one year , But my company SCI I didn't even touch the door .

But there is no way to graduate , I have to pick up my mood and harden my head , Let's put this article down , Just in time to go abroad with my tutor to attend an academic conference , It may also be the first time to go abroad , Diluted some sense of loss .

Magical things really happened ！ While waiting at the airport , I got an email , It's a previous contribution , The editor gave an opinion on overhaul .

My tutor was waiting next to me , Both of us can bear the excitement , At the same time, I began to study the modification suggestions given by experts one by one . On the whole, except for one expert who said he would make up the experiment , The rest of the comments are easy to revise .

however , Here comes the question . It is almost impossible to make up the experiment , There is no such equipment in our college . After reflection, my tutor and I decided to meet the requirements of experts as much as possible , Since there is no way to make up the experiment , Just add some simulation data .

In foreign countries, I have been wondering how to say this thing round , As soon as I returned home, I began to revise , And sincerely explain to the experts that we really do not have the equipment to do this test , But in order to meet the requirements of reviewers as much as possible , We also added the corresponding simulation results .

Finally, I also “ Affectionately ” He added a sentence “ This article is very important for my doctoral graduation , Thank you for your understanding ”, Hope to earn sympathy points , I uploaded the revised article with great anxiety .

stay 5 One morning in January , One is abroad 、 Send me a wechat for the senior brother of the co-author , Say congratulations ！ I hired . I'll check my email right away , When I saw the email saying “I am pleased to confirm that your paper “xxx” has been accepted for publication in xxx.”.

It's dawn ！ It was a feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds ！ It's really a relief ！ I flew out of the office , For my girlfriend 、 My dad 、 My mother called , As if to announce to the world “ My first paper received ”！

Good things happened again and again , I became the student who wrote the most articles in the research group , From sending a document “ Difficult households ” Change into “ Upstart ”. Zone one, two, three, four SCI One in each , As of the graduation defense ,5 piece SCI Starting with , Add the original EI And Chinese core , Finally, we can get together 10 piece , graduate ！

This experience made me understand , People who work hard are not so unlucky , The last darkness before dawn , Just hold on a little longer , When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, there will be a bright future .

2、 Why did I succeed ？ The adjustment of mentality is the key ！

Later, I kept reflecting on this paragraph of mine SCI The road to publication , Think about what I did right , Let me finally succeed ？ I think it is the adjustment of my mentality , Avoid entering a vicious circle .

Reading a blog is a hard job , publish SCI It's more difficult to do good things , When I was repeatedly rejected , When you are in anxiety and confusion , I can obviously see that my condition is getting worse and worse , It becomes especially easy to get into trouble , Unwilling to listen to others' opinions , I don't even want to listen to my tutor , Gradually entered a vicious circle .

To get rid of this state , I forced myself to make a mental adjustment , Because I know that no adjustment is a dead end ！ Here I share some of my own experiences ：

First , It is to let oneself take away from the atmosphere of scientific research failure , Separate scientific research from life . I chose to move out directly , Clock out at five or six in the afternoon , I don't think about anything related to scientific research when I go home , Give yourself a buffer zone .

secondly , Lower your expectations . At that time, I wanted to graduate on time , The pressure is very strong , I hinted at myself , It's normal to delay for one year , Two years' delay is acceptable , If the experiment is not ideal, we should start over , There is time .

Last , To increase your sense of accomplishment , Enhance positive feedback . In the months when submissions were deadlocked , I signed up for an online Japanese class , Use the time to go home every night to learn Japanese . Try to pass half a year N3, This is the goal I set for myself . And no matter whether the scientific research is successful or not , Every night when I learn Japanese, I am still .

After a series of operations , I became less anxious , Every day is full , Even if there is no gain in scientific research , But I took another step in Japanese learning , Such positive feedback , Let me go to sleep with satisfaction instead of guilt , Gradually I found the confidence I had lost .

After regaining confidence , I immediately got one “ Return fire ”, I reexamined the jobs that I thought were difficult , Some problems are miraculously solved , It's really a matter of mentality .

It was because I was confident enough , And there are low enough expectations , There is a kind of “ It is normal to do well , Doing well is making money ” After thinking about , I succeeded in the end ！

3、 Take the first step bravely ,SCI It's the wheel fight

If you can't get out SCI The first step in writing , Do not fall on the head of the pen , Then you are destined to write SCI I can't write a thesis , Not to mention hitting . So as long as you have an idea, you must write it down , Even a few words , You have to force yourself to write it down , Many a little make a mickle , The paper came out naturally .

SCI After the throw , There is no need to check the progress of the manuscript every day , What you should do is jump into the next article SCI In my writing , Do experiments 、 Analyze the data 、 Write an article , Just write one by one , One by one , The formation of wheel warfare .

Received comments from reviewers , If the manuscript is rejected, you can change it to a poor journal and then submit it , After the overhaul, it was seriously changed . You just have 5 piece SCI On the pitch , You are not far from a bumper harvest .

in addition , Many younger martial brothers and sisters wrote about themselves SCI No confidence , Always worried SCI No innovation , He even said that his articles were academic rubbish . My idea is whether it is innovative , Is it academic rubbish , Throw it first , Take a look at what the reviewers say .

If you don't write or vote for it , If you can improve the quality of your articles , I suggest you take action as soon as possible ; But this is your highest level , Then you should write it down and throw it out , Don't waste too much time in your hands , Because it is not your opinion that decides whether to record this article , It's the reviewer's opinion .

4、 Write SCI It's a blank question , Multiple threads should go hand in hand

From my own SCI Writing experience , I think SCI The easiest part to write about is the materials and methods （Materials and Methods） part , Basically, it is to explain which equipment was used in the research ？ What are the subjects ？ What are the specific test steps ？ All belong to descriptive discourse , No difficulty at all , You can find several similar papers , You can write it according to the gourd painting .

SCI The second easy part of the book is the introduction （Introduction）, Because the introduction is a summary of the research status , You don't have to do any experiments , Analyze any data , It is a summary of the literature of other researchers , As long as you abbreviate the abstracts and conclusions in the literature , This part can be done easily . Finish these two parts , That's probably SCI It is also written that there is one third of them .

after , You can summarize and analyze the experimental data in your hand , Make the picture first , Then look at the picture and talk , Describe the change trend of each curve in the figure , Then by reading similar Literature , Explain the trend of the curve , Analyze the deep reasons , So the results and discussion （Results & Discussion） Part is finished . Then we just need to compare the results with the discussion （Results & Discussion） The content under each sub heading in the is condensed into one sentence , A natural conclusion （Conclusion） Part is finished .

Finally, the full text will be refined , Write a summary （Abstract）, choose 3-5 Key words （Key words）, Add the necessary references , Finally, modify the format according to the submission requirements , A piece of SCI And it's done .

Why did someone just finish the master test ,SCI It was written and delivered in a few days , They just use multithreaded writing mode ：

The introduction and materials and methods of an article do not have to wait until the experiment is completed , You can write while doing experiments ;

Data analysis method , As long as there is part of the data, you can run through the processing method ？ Then we can process the data while doing the experiment . You can't do experiments 24 Do it for hours ？ You must have some waiting time during the experiment ？ Experts will use this time to analyze data , Map making , Write the results and discussion section , After each part of the experiment , It's natural to write a section corresponding to the results and discussion , When all the tests are finished , Basically, the results and discussion are almost finished .

Conclusion and summary , It can be done in one day , Add some references in another day 、 Modulation format , You can contribute ！ You can calculate this kind of writing SCI It's much faster than writing after all the experiments have been done ？

5、 summary

“ No one has cried in the middle of the night , Not enough to talk about life ”, The same is true of reading a blog ,“ No one has cried in the middle of the night , Not enough to get a doctorate ”.

difficult 、 bottleneck 、 Confusion is definitely encountered in the process of reading a blog , You can't hide if you want to . If you want to get a doctorate , We can only be hard headed . So adjusting your mind is the most important thing , It's the foundation ; And on the foundation is skill ; After mastering the skills , Take the first step bravely , The victory will belong to you ！
