In the field of academic research, the publication of papers is an important indicator to measure the research achievements and academic level of scholars. Different types of journals have different publication cycles, applicable disciplines and requirements. In order to better plan your academic career, it is crucial to know and prepare your dissertation for publication in advance. The following is a detailed analysis of five types of journals, including core journals, general journals, journals, international SCI indexing and newspapers, aiming to help scholars reasonably arrange the writing and publication time of papers according to their actual conditions.
The latest summary of the publication cycle of core journals, university journals, and general journals
1. Core journals
Core journals, as an important part of national formal journals, cover Chinese core journals, CSSCI (Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index) and CSCD (China Science Citation Database) journals. With its high standards of academic requirements and strict selection mechanism, this type of journal has become an authoritative publication recognized by the academic community. It is relatively difficult to publish core journals, and with the increase of national support for core journals, the publication threshold may be further increased in the future.
Publication cycle: The publication cycle of core journals is long, and it usually takes 8-12 months to get the paper version of the journal or obtain the CNKI search certificate. The differences between arts and sciences and the specific situation are subject to the actual situation.

2. General periodicals
General journals, i.e., non-core journals, also belong to the category of national regular journals, and are divided into provincial journals and national journals according to the different sponsors. Due to their wide range of disciplines and relatively short review cycles, these journals have become the first choice for many scholars to publish their research results.
Publication cycle: The review cycle of ordinary journals is relatively short, most journals can give a response within 3-4 weeks, and some journals even produce results on the same day. It generally takes only 1-2 months from submission to article retrieval on CNKI.

3. Journal of the Journal
The journal, as an academic journal sponsored by universities, is usually named "Journal of XXXX University (College)". According to the level of the host university, the journal can be divided into undergraduate journal and junior college journal. The academic status of the journal is between the core journal and the general journal, and there are certain requirements for the quality of articles and the author's affiliation.
Publication cycle: The review speed of the journal is relatively fast, generally completed within 1-6 weeks. It is worth noting that journals are usually not reviewed during university holidays, and this factor needs to be considered when submitting papers.

4. International SCI search
SCI (Science Citation Index) is an international index focusing on basic sciences, covering 94 subject categories, journals from more than 40 countries and more than 50 languages, including a certain number of Chinese journals. SCI retrieval is regarded as the "gold standard" of the international academic community, and is particularly important for scholars in the field of science and engineering.
Publication cycle: It usually takes 10-12 months to obtain the SCI search certificate, which reflects its strict review process and high-quality academic requirements.

5. Newspapers
Newspapers, as another important platform for publishing academic results, are also suitable for all disciplines. When evaluating job titles, it is often required to publish an article in a provincial or national newspaper. Mainstream media such as People's Daily, Guangming Daily, Economic Daily, etc., are commonly used publication channels in academia.
Publication cycle: Newspapers are reviewed more quickly depending on how often they are published (daily or weekly). The entire process, from manuscript writing to review to publication in the newspaper, can take no more than two months, making it ideal for scholars who need to publish their results quickly.
