I. Notes for submission:
Most newspapers and magazines have relatively stable author groups and manuscript sources. We must win in the fierce competition for manuscripts, win a place for ourselves, make our own works into types as much as possible, let our research results be recognized and benefited by more people, and let everyone share the joy of success with you. Pay attention to the following five questions when submitting a manuscript:
1. Submission should be on the right track.
Every newspaper and magazine has its own specific policy and purpose (periodical) and its own readers. Before submitting a manuscript, we should understand this and find out whether its publishing cycle is bimonthly, quarterly, monthly or bimonthly or weekly. If it is a newspaper, it is a daily newspaper, a Tuesday newspaper, a weekly newspaper or a bimonthly or monthly newspaper. Next, we need to know which columns have been published in various newspapers and what articles have been published in each column. If possible, you should also learn about the history of newspapers and periodicals, see what articles have been published in recent years, compare your research questions with your papers, whether anyone has studied and written them before, what is the current research situation, from what angle you have published such articles before, and whether your articles have been innovative and developed. In addition, we should also study the trends and trends of newspapers and periodicals, and what kind of hot manuscripts will be next. Finally, it depends on which newspapers and columns your article is suitable for. When submitting a manuscript, it is best to indicate the column name on the envelope so that the editor can handle the manuscript timely and accurately. In order to do this, we must read more newspapers and periodicals at ordinary times, at least know the latest catalogue, so that we can be targeted when submitting articles, and we will not send the manuscripts of chemistry teaching in middle schools to newspapers and periodicals suitable for primary school students.
Step 2 pay attention to the timing
Teaching and research papers can be divided into two categories according to timeliness: one is time-sensitive and coordinated with teaching progress (for example, chemistry teaching in middle schools refers to new teaching materials and various synchronous exercises, etc.). ), the other is not effective and has nothing to do with the teaching progress. The latter can contribute at any time, while the former must master a certain amount of advance payment. In the end, how long to contribute in advance, the general newspapers and periodicals will remind readers and authors through newspaper enlightenment. Under normal circumstances, if there is no provision in the newspapers and periodicals, the bimonthly and monthly manuscripts should be 4-6 months in advance. Generally speaking, the more timely the news articles, the better. The shorter the publishing cycle of newspapers and periodicals, the smaller the advance payment. "Monday morning quarterback" is the most taboo and generally not a very good manuscript. Monday morning quarterback is difficult to publish. For example, manuscripts related to the content to be learned at the beginning of next semester are generally distributed during holidays at the end of last semester at the latest to provide reference for teachers to prepare lessons. If you wait until you have finished teaching this part and then throw it out, it will be "Monday morning quarterback", and such a manuscript is not very valuable. This creates a contradiction, because most of the manuscripts related to the teaching progress are studied and written after problems are found in teaching, and the opportunity to contribute has already been missed. What shall we do? The author's experience is that we can write first and then process it carefully.
