How to check the inclusion of international papers SCI?

Before we formally write an international sci paper, we can read more and find more relevant literature, which is also very helpful for the writing process. After the paper is completed and submitted, I believe everyone will be very anxious to wait. How do we check whether the sci paper is included? In this issue, I will share relevant knowledge with you.

1. Find "SCI(ISI)" in the library homepage - resource center, and click to enter the Web of Science platform homepage. It should be noted that although the link name here is "SCI", after clicking the link, you will enter the Web of Science platform containing the SCIE database.

2. Web of Science Platform - From the drop-down menu of "Select Database", select "Web of Science Core Collection"

3. In "More Settings" at the bottom of the Web of Science Core Collection page, select "Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) --1900 to present"

4. After the above operations are completed, enter the title of the paper in the search box. If the information of the paper appears in the search results, it can be determined that the paper has been included in SCI.

SCI (Science Citation Index) is one of the three major retrieval systems in the world. It mainly collects the most influential and important journals in the fields of natural science and engineering technology. It is expressed in printed and CD-ROM versions. SCIE (Science Citation Index Extended Edition) is an extended version of SCI, which includes more journals than SCI. It is provided to users in the form of an online version (accessing the Web of Science platform through the network). In my country, after research by the relevant departments and leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China, it was decided that from the statistical work in 2000, the retrieval system for SCI papers should be changed to SCIE. That is to say, if a paper can be found in the retrieval system SCIE, the paper is included in SCI.

Is it difficult to publish papers in SCI journals?

Publishing SCI papers can be said to be recognized as high difficulty at home and abroad, so the difficulty index is still very high, which is not the same as the difficulty of publishing in domestic journals. The difficulty of publishing SCI papers is not because the review period is long or the cost is unbearable. The review efficiency of SCI journals is very high, and some SCI journals are published. The main difficulty in publishing SCI papers is that the requirements for articles are relatively high. SCI journals are academics that attach great importance to articles, which happens to be what many authors lack. , many domestic authors publish SCI papers mainly in English writing.

For domestic scholars whose English is not their native language, it is very difficult to translate their papers into English. Many English journals receive domestic papers, but a large number of them are language problems. Most English journals are indexed by SCI, which is much higher than that of domestic journals. Since many English journals are indexed by SCI, if you want to submit SCI papers, you are more selective in submitting to English SCI journals than Chinese SCI journals, and the review time of English journals is generally shorter than that of domestic journals.
