第19章如何向SCI期刊投稿
C 4eQ.ep 1.准备投稿信
Ve[&_
(fP SCI期刊的编辑往往需要一些有关作者及其论文的信息，而作者也希望给编辑提供一些有助于其全文送审及决策的信息。这些信息都应该包括在投稿信（covering letter）中。投稿信应包括以下几方面的内容：

oS#PBql4 许多论文因SCI期刊编辑部往往找不到合适的审稿人，致使稿件一再拖延。提供审稿人名单和详细通讯地址，会加快审稿人速度。因此，在投稿的同时，提供一些熟悉论文内容的审稿人是必需的。

vhKHiw9L 2.阅读投稿须知
vMeB2r< 从相应的SCI期刊网站的homepage下载Instruction for Author,并且按照要求准备好原稿所有文件，如投稿份数、论文格式、长度、图表、参考文献格式、配图说明（Figure legends）等，逐条遵循。一般SCI论文可分为回顾性文章（review article）、普通论文（regular/research article）、快讯（short communication）等。不同的学科，正文的内容和形式会有所增减；图表、公式的数量也会有所不同。此外，不但原告的内容要符合SCI期刊的的要求，而且在数字、页数、格式、文件储存形式等方面，均需与投稿的的SCI期刊要求一致。否则，论文在初选阶段会很快落选。
u{%dm5 3.向SCI期刊投稿的方式
(e _ l1O? （1）邮寄形式。即通过国际快件或航空将论文的原稿邮寄给期刊的主编或编辑部。
cN %@
nW0i a）稿件包装：一般应按以下顺序备齐资料：
_o'a|=Osx> ⊿投稿信。
EC lx+tz;` ⊿论文稿拷贝份数。以打印稿（hard copy）投稿。
T*jQzcm~? ⊿版权转让申明（可以在论文接受后追加）。
)8 *}-z b）稿件邮寄。邮寄稿件应注意：
@cu#rWiG
⊿正确的投稿地址及收稿人（见“投稿须知”）。有的SCI期刊在“投稿须知”中特别指出投稿地址与定刊或订单行本地址不一样，以免造成时间耽搁。
eNu]K,rT 邮寄稿件的形式曾经是SCI论文投稿近乎唯一的方式，现在采用这种方式接受来稿的SCI期刊越来越少了。
^"] ] rZ) （2）电子邮件形式。即作者将SCI论文E-mail编辑部。现在有许多SCI期刊已经告别了邮寄和电子邮件的时代，开始只受理网上投稿。某些期刊仅允许一些没有图表的短文、特邀论文（reviewer，book chapter）或“给编辑的信”通过E-mail投稿。几乎所有的SCI期刊均不接受fax投稿。
Fuy"JmeR
（3）网上投稿（online submission）。网上投稿方式速度更快，而且稿件不会丢失。网上投稿常需要作者online注册。一旦作者在网上登记注册投稿，每个主要步骤都有记录，很受SCI期刊作者的欢迎。
vC!B}~
RG 4.网上投稿
_t?# （1）网上注册（online registration），也叫作者注册。网上投稿（online submission）时，要把自己的姓名、单位、联系地址，包括电话、传真和电子邮箱等登记准确无误。注册成功后，作者会收到E-mail回执。

U3~rtc* （2）按部就班的输入论文的各个主要部分。如题目、作者、摘要、关键词、正文、图表等。在输入每个部分的时候，一是要通过该部分的有关要求，再次要确认自己输入的文件是否符合要求。这听起来并不难，但实际上作者在这方面的疏忽却很多。
A$70!5* （3）确认每个部分输入的完整性。有些作者在输入文件时过于匆忙，十个图只输入一半，这样的稿件即使能到了编辑部也不能送审，只能返回作者补漏。如果审校员一时疏忽或主编没有察觉，将所有欠缺的文章发出送审，则审稿人因为缺图，不能正常审阅文章。这样造成的麻烦所耽误的时间会更多。
<RuLIu （4）输入文件完毕后，也就是所有的部分成功地输入后，不要忘记点击投稿发送键（【Sending】或【submitting】）。否则，稿件只会存储在作者自己的文件夹中，而不是发送到编辑部的文件夹里。论文提交成功后，作者会收到E-mail回执。

T_ [ 目前，许多SCI期刊网上投稿，需把文件有一种存储形式转换到另外一种存储形式，比如Word文件变成PDF文件。在这个转换过程中，计算机屏幕上会显示停滞状态，看上去好像死机了。其实不然，只需耐心等待。如果有问题，屏幕上则会出现问题预警或解决问题的提示。如果作者不能自行解决故障或问题反复出现，作者可与出版社的在线投稿支持系统的相关部门（online submission support team ）联系，求得帮助。此外值得一提的是，部分著名出版社的网页上除附有投稿须知外，还有专门设计了针对网上投稿的指导示范文件（）。总之，网上投稿并不难，关键是准备充分，而且在实际上机操作时按部就班，不能单纯求快，否则欲速而不达。
<Vl`EfA( 网上投稿后，编辑部还会给你一个正式的回执和稿件编号。
Cd|rDa （5）稿件编号可用于稿件追踪（following-up）。因此，要保存好。

g){gF( 网上投稿通常是快速并相对地容易。然而，如果作者疏忽遵守期刊的要求，可能延迟或停止发送和审稿过程（The submission and peer-review process）。网上投稿常见的问题有：
