简介:
中国学术评价体系与发表学术文章紧密相关,相关政策和教育环境在不断改变,而中国出版环境的激烈竞争则给有论文发表需求的学生、学者带来很大的压力。不少博士生、教师、科研人员选择赴国外从事访问学者、博士后研究,为发表高水平论文做准备。
Paper-Publishing Dilemma
突破发表文章的窘境
The Chinese academic evaluation system is deeply linked to academic publishing. Many universities have as a requirement that PhD students publish their research in order to graduate. It is also normal for universities to require applicants who wish to become lecturers in their institutions, to have published papers in journals. Going abroad to pursue a visiting student, visiting scholar or post-doc position could provide scholars with the opportunity of joining a research project and publishing high-quality papers.
中国学术评价体系与发表学术文章紧密相关。许多大学都要求博士生发表论文才能毕业。大学院校在招聘讲师时,普遍要求申请者须有期刊论文发表。通过出国做访问学生、访问学者或博士后,学者们将有机会参与科研项目并发表高质量论文。
PhD Students & Paper-Publishing
博士生&论文发表
Many universities in China require postgraduates to publish papers in high-level journals, such as SCI, EI, domestic core journals in China. The number of journals that meet the set standards is limited, some of them publish academic papers monthly, but others publish on a quarterly basis, making it extremely difficult for PhD students to get a spot. China has the largest educational system of the world, only in 2017 China produced an estimated number of 362000 PhD graduates. Therefore, mathematically speaking, there aren’t enough journals that meet the set standardsfor the rising number of doctoral students to publish their research.
中国许多院校要求博硕士研究生在较高水平期刊发表论文,如SCI、EI、或国内核心期刊等,但国内符合标准的期刊数量有限,它们有的是月刊,有的是季刊,博士生想要在这些期刊上发文变得尤为艰难。中国拥有世界上最庞大的教育体系,仅在2017年,就培养了约36.2万名博士毕业生。因此,从数字上看,中国已经没有足够多符合要求的期刊供与日俱增的博士生发表论文。
The education environment is slowly changing, with top level institutions such as Tsinghua University are removing this type of ‘paper-publishing’ requirement to grant doctorate degrees. However, most universities still hold ‘paper-publishing’ requirements. Nowadays, many doctoral students choose to study in foreign universities or research institutions for 1-2 years, granted they have suitable conditions.This helps PhD students to broaden their academic horizons, accumulate research experience and publish high-quality papers.
教育环境在慢慢改变,尽管清华大学等顶级院校已取消了只有发表论文才能授予博士学位的要求,但是大多数学校对于博士毕业还是有论文要求的。在有条件的情况下,很多博士生选择到国外高校或研究机构从事1-2年的学习交流。这有助于他们拓宽学术视野,积累研究经历,发表高质量论文,使其受益匪浅。
Visiting Scholars & Post-docs
访问学者&博士后
Many scholars have to deal with a great pressure that comes from the competitive publishing environment in China. Certain jobs in academia require applicants to have published their research in high-IF journals; relevant publications continue to be a key component in scholars’ career development. Positions such as visiting scholar and post-doc are perfect ways for scholars to further conduct research, learn new desirable skills, and enhance their expertise. In this phase, scholars can make preparations for publishing articles in well-known journals, such as attending international academic seminars, joining relevant research projects, obtaining advice from foreign supervisors, and polishing their academic writing. Furthermore, scholars can collaborate with mentors and other local and international visitors to create long-lasting academic relationships. Good luck future in your career development!
中国出版环境的激烈竞争给诸多学者带来了很大的压力。学术界的某些研究工作要求申请人必须在高影响因子期刊上发表过论文;论文发表仍是学者们职业发展的关键组成部分。而国外访问学者和博士后等职位是学者们进一步开展研究、学习新技术、提高专业技能的绝佳途径,在这期间,学者们可以为在知名期刊上发表文章做诸多准备,如参加国际学术研讨会、参与研究项目、获得外方导师建议、提升学术写作水平等。除此之外,学者们还可以与导师和其他当地或国际的访问者合作,建立长久的学术交流合作关系。祝您在职业发展上再进一步!
