There are always many authors who will ask, why is it so expensive to publish ** now, when it used to be published in hundreds, but now it has risen directly to thousands at the beginning!Indeed, in the past, even if it was a CNKI journal, when the first edition was launched, one article could be completed by several hundred and one thousand. But that was before, after all, what wasn't cheap before?Housing prices are not so high, vegetables and fruits are not so expensive, and oil prices are not so high that people dare not even drive a car. Now, let's talk about journals, even the journals included in Wanfang VIP have to start with two or three thousand (more than two thousand journals are still a minority), and CNKI basically has to start with three or four thousand, and many journals have directly increased several times compared with the ** in the previous two years. Why did it rise so much?It is mainly related to the rectification of journals. In 21 years, the magazine "Photo Geography" published an article on the "rebirth of cooked eggs", which directly led to a major rectification of the entire periodical industry, and this rectification can be said to have not stopped until now.
Add ** annotations, no more than 140 words (optional) and the direct consequence of rectification is: now many journals have adjusted the starting page to at least 3-4 editions, so even if the single edition fee remains unchanged, after multiplying by three or four, the total cost of a single article ** has also risen.
Add ** annotations, no more than 140 words (optional) and increase the number of starting pages, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of ** articles that can be arranged in each issue of the journal, and one less article will be charged less moneyAnd the price of the first is the same, will the rent, water, electricity, and printing costs of the magazine's office space also have to rise?Can the magazine's expenses remain the same?In addition, when the number of articles available for the journal is reduced, the demand for publication has not decreased, and how to control the number of manuscripts received when the supply exceeds the demandOr a price increase. The above are the most direct reasons for the price increase of journals. And some journals are helpless to increase their prices, after all, if everyone increases their prices, it will not rise, then everyone will definitely give priority to it when submitting, because it is cheap, so that the number of manuscripts will naturally increase, and editors will not be able to bear it. But to be honest, this year's journal price increase is indeed too outrageous, really any messy journal can rise to sky-high prices, purely to follow the trend, in short, now the cost of publishing a ** is getting more and more expensive, and the price increase momentum has not stopped at present. Finally, in the past, publishing ** was not only cheap, but the difficulty of submission was not as great as it is now, basically as long as the topic of the article is appropriate and almost written, it is not as demanding and restrictive as it is now, this is not accepted, that is not accepted, this topic is sensitive, and it is best not to write about that topic. Therefore, it is recommended that if the publication is just needed, the sooner the submission, the better, cheap, easy, and early, and the difficulty and cost of submission are expected to continue to increase in the future, which can be seen from the receipt of manuscripts this year. PS: The above discussion scope is limited to the general journals included in CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP, and the publications included in Longyuan or the journal network are not within the scope of discussion. Teach you how to publish** and what to look out for in one go.
