English is the international language of science Introduction Publishing in English allows you to reach the broadest possible audience（用英文发表能覆盖最广泛受众） English is the international language of science   \

Before you begin Journal editors want to publish good quality science that is of interest to their readers 说明你的研究在本领域居领先地位 条理清晰，格式规范 遣词造句清晰简洁 遵循伦理规范

Good readers make good writers! Before you begin Good readers make good writers! 建议就是多读，好的读者才能成为好的作者。阅读不仅可以提升自己的英文写作水平，而且可以帮助学者选择研究热点，以确定研究方向。 Writing

Research topics can be identified by exploiting opportunities Before you begin Research topics can be identified by exploiting opportunities 一开始时，你可以查阅本领域的文献。最初可以先看一些大家都感兴趣的期刊，看一些优秀的综述；当然，不要把自己的关注点局限在期刊里，看一本该领域内的书籍也是很有必要的，可以让你对该课题的历史及发展状况做一个全面的了解。 随着知识的积累，开始寻找一些令人困惑的现象 ，关于世界的未解之谜 ，新技术 ，亟需更佳解决方案的问题等。 带着准备好的问题与导师，师兄师姐交流，更可以参加一些学术会议，与该领域内某篇重要文献的作者直接进行交流。

写好文章小诀窍——Cover Letter 文章中所阐述的问题是什么？ 文章中的主要发现是什么？ 该领域最近发表了哪些文章？ 你的结果对该领域有何贡献？ 该期刊的目标读者为何会对你的结果感兴趣？ 你的结果对其他领域又和贡献？ 写明通讯作者信息 如有公开数据须提供访问地址

写好文章小诀窍——标题 短小精炼 避免冗余信息 避免不必要的缩写 文章标题须与内容相符 仔细斟酌关键词！ 好的标题是成功的开始！

写好文章小诀窍——摘要 摘要具体包括： 研究目的，该研究解决了什么问题 主要实验方法和材料 核心结果和结论 抓住读者的搜索习惯！ 不当的摘要可能致使： 编辑忽视研究的重要性 审稿专家拒绝审稿

写好文章小诀窍——图表和图注！ 图表必须搭配注解 许多读者会先看图表和图注，再看全文 排列顺序需合理 一律从上到下或一律顺时针 表头方向须保持一致 图注中要包括图中所有内容 详细的图注有利于读者对关键结果的理解 提交文章前将所有图表和图注发给同事 看是否能理解文章重点

Tip 1 for writing a good paper Read many papers 多读文章 Know the field Join a journal club Read outside of your area to develop broad scope – think about quality of work 阅读自己研究领域以外的文献，拓宽知识面——注重研究质量 Be aware of reporting guidelines

.......Editors and reviewers will be  Tip 2 Be objective about your work 客观对待自己的研究 .......Editors and reviewers will be 

Tip 3 Write in good English 准确的英语表述 Complex language is not needed. Best science is where complex ideas are expressed in a way that people not in that field can understand 用非专业人士也能看懂的方式来表述复杂的想法 Poorly written manuscripts get rejected – reviewers or editors lose patience or can’t ‘see’ the results or advance 表述不明的文章会被拒稿——审稿人和编辑会对该研究的结果丧失兴趣 Use a professional copy-editing service, such as Edanz

Tip 4 Decide early on where to publish 提前决定投哪本期刊 This will help shape your study, based on the goals needed for publication in your target journal. Will help define the form of study and advance required. 针对期刊对文章的要求进行研究，有助于把握研究方向和创新性。 Look at journal’s aims and scopes page 仔细阅读该期刊所涵盖领域及对文章的要求 Think about how you will structure your papers when you design your experimen 在设计实验时就开始思考文章架构 What controls and statistical tests are needed? 设置哪些对照组，使用何种统计方法 What collaborators / co authors should you work with to complete study? 需要和哪些共同作者合作才能完成该研究 What is your aim with study? What are you trying to show / prove? 研究目的是什么？想要表现或证明什么？

Tip 5 Quality is everything 质量决定一切 尽可能发表在质量最高的期刊上 Try to publish in as high a quality journal as you can. 尽可能发表在质量最高的期刊上 One great study is better than several lesser quality ones 一篇高质量的文章>多篇内容相似的一般文章 Avoid trying to publish lots of research papers that provide small amounts of new data from a single research project. 切勿将一项完整的研究分割成若干篇文章发表

Tip 6 Become a reviewer! 珍惜审稿的机会！ Get used to how to critically assess science – it will help you to assess your own study 了解如何批判地评估科研成果，有助于准确评估自己的工作 Ask your supervisor if you can help with the next review they do 向导师申请帮其完成下一次的审稿工作 You’ll become familiar with issues that reviewers raise as you see other reports 看别人的审稿报告，熟悉审稿人如何提问

Tip 7 Respond to reviewers and editors 如何回复编辑和审稿人 Ensure you understand what reviewers and editors are asking for (if unsure make an informal query to the editor prior to submitting your response). 明白评审和编辑提出什么要求 Provide a full, and concise point-by-point response to the reviewers and editors. 提交完整的回复，将评审和编辑的要求逐点说明 If you disagree with an issue, provide a clear rationale for your argument within the response. Back up with references where possible. 如果对评审提出的问题有异议，需在回复中提供详细的论证， 最好附有参考文献 Give clear indication where revisions in the manuscript have been made (tracked changes, highlighted etc). 指明对文章的哪些部分进行了修改

Tip 8 Learn to live with rejection! 正确看待被拒稿 All scientific careers are faced with rejection 被拒稿是每个研究人员的必经之路 Take reviewers advice and improve the study / manuscript 根据审稿人的意见进行修改 If you are invited to resubmit, do the revisions that the reviewers request. Don’t argue for the sake of it 如果有重投的机会，一定要根据审稿人的意见进行修改，切勿进行过多争论

Electronic submission Submitting Electronic submission Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times万事具备，那么可以开始投稿了。目前常用的 投稿方式是通过在线投稿系统投稿与通过电子邮件投稿，在Springer期刊的主页上 ，作者会方便的通过Springer的在线投稿系统进行投稿，通过在线投稿系统的好处 就是作者与编辑可以方便的对稿件进行进程控制，缩短发表周期。

Journal publishing timelines can vary depending on editor and reviewer Peer review Journal publishing timelines can vary depending on editor and reviewer 一般的投稿周期在3个月到12个月，主要视作者的文章质 量而定，如果文章质量好的话，修改的内容很少，就会很 快发表。审稿人也是影响发表速度的重要因素，如果审稿 人回复比较慢，势必会影响发表速度。而且一些比较小的 学科领域，由于专家较少，这些专家可能会收到大量的审 稿请求，那么就会时间比较长。再就是投稿时机，有时碰 到暑假或者圣诞假期，由于很多外国专家学者都会休假， 那么可能会影响审稿速度。 Manuscript submitted Editor assigns reviewers Revise manuscript Editor elects rapid rejection OR peer review Reviewers evaluate accept, revise OR reject Article Publication!

DO NOT… AND I REPEAT, … DO NOT Publication ethics DO NOT… AND I REPEAT, … DO NOT Data fabrication and falsification捏造或篡改数据 Plagiarism剽窃 Multiple submissions一稿多投 Redundant publications“重复发表”（或“切香肠式”发表） Improper author contribution or attribution署名不端

Text recycling (self-plagiarism) 重复使用文字 Duplication of text from authors’ own previous publication 复制作者之前发表的文章 Usually without attribution 通常未注明来源 Acceptability depends on journals’ policy 是否被接受取决于期刊政策 Try to avoid repeating your previously published text, but if it is unavoidable: 尽量避免重复使用自己之前发表过的文字 Be transparent Tell the editor Cite the original article

Text recycling (self-plagiarism) 重复使用文字 该作者此前已发表过一项临床试验的首要结果（primary outcome）， 现使用同样的试验方法检验次要结果（secondary outcome），作者在 论文中应如何描述这项试验？ How can they report the methods in their new paper?   Original published article methods: This study was a randomised controlled trial (RCT) conducted in four teaching hospitals in London. Patients were recruited between January 2007 and December 2008. Patients were eligible for inclusion in the study if they were over the age of 18 and had undergone an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy…..  (the methods would then be described in detail)

Text recycling (self-plagiarism) 重复使用文字 Transparently!    Methods (new article): The full methods of this study have already been reported in our previous article [6]. Briefly, we conducted a randomised control trial involving patients over the age of 18 who had undergone and elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 2007/8 in one of four London teaching hospitals. 不需要重复全部的方法，只需简要描述和引用原文为参考文献。这样做 是为了将本次研究作为上次实验的后续，而不会让读者误以为这是个全 新的试验。

Is it ok to submit to more than one journal at once? Submission 重复投稿 Is it ok to submit to more than one journal at once? 是否可以将一片文章同时投给多个期刊？ Consequences of duplicate submission: 一稿多投的后果 Rejection of both manuscripts 被双方期刊拒稿 Editor may contact the authors’ institution 编辑会告知作者学校 Duplicate publication 重复发表 May lead to retraction (14.2% of all retractions) 被撤稿 Wastes editors’ and reviewers’ time 浪费编辑和审稿人时间
