如何撰写SCI文章，投稿交流用语及状态解释
第一部分：SCI文章的写作 对于没有写过英文的人来说，第一篇文章有些困难。关键还是在于要阅读大量的英文文献。在文章的写作上，最好不要自己造句子。说实在的，大多数中国学者的英文都不好，自己造句子，很可能是中式英语，老外看不懂。所以，写文章，要学会借鉴。也就多看英文文章，看到相关的句型，要做好笔记。要学会使用老外们用过的句型，拿来以后作些修改。 我一般都在写作前阅读大量的文章，一边阅读，一边把自己认为重要的句子分别copy到自己文章的各个部分，然后在写作时进行取舍。
1. Introduction部分，很多可能都是文献。要介绍自己研究的内容的一些相关知识。让大家知道你所研究领域现在的一些进展，以及自己研究的“新鲜”内容。
2. Materials and Methods比较好写，看看文献，应该有相同的内容可以参考，把这些内容找来进行一些修改就可以了。
3. Results部分有些困难。这一部分是要自己造句较多的部分。但是也要尽量借用英语是母语的人所用的句型。个人研究的内容可能很多，要突出指出自己的研究重点。在这一部分，最好不要出现讨论方面的内容。cgw
4. 个人觉得最难写的部分是Discussion女强人英语部分。要把自己的研究与他人的研究结合起来，哪些与他人的研究相似，哪些不一样。从自己的研究结果可以得出什么样的结论或推论。要从研究结果可以引申一些相关的内容，不要完全局限于自己的研究领域，放宽一些。
5. 我一般是在写完这些部分以后，再写Abstract，最后再定标题。一个简洁醒目的标题，事半功倍。 请记住：写文章一定要突出自己研究相对较新的内容。这是一些影响因子较高的期刊所很看重的。 另外，最不推荐的是把文章写成中文，然后翻译成英文。因为这样真的是彻头彻尾的中式英语了。
第二部分：SCI文章的投稿 写好文章后，就要开始投稿了。
1. 选择期刊。 找到一个适合自己文章的刊物很重要。个人推荐：先投一个影响因子较高的刊物，如果能被送审，得到一些修改意见，即使被拒，然后修改后再投一个影响因子较低的期刊，希望更大一些。切记：勿一稿多投.
2. 国外的期刊基本都实现了网上投稿。登录该期刊，找到投稿需知，也就是“Instructions for Authors”，仔细阅读。
3. 根据“Instructions for Authors”，修改自己文章的格式。这是一个比较繁琐的事情。一定要仔细修改格式（语法、词汇方面的错误应该在写作时给解决）。 比如说： 文章一般是要求按以下顺序：标题、作者、通讯方式、Abstract， Key Words， Introduction， Materials and Methods， Results， DIscussion， Acknowledgements， References， Figure Legends， Tables， Figures。 同时要求是2倍行距，图片的像素要求（300dpi），标好每个页面的行号...... 微小说大赛不同的期刊，对于参考文献的安排方式不同。有的按出现顺序排列，有的要求按字母顺序排列，有的要求列出所有的作者，有的要求列出4entry是什么意思－5个作者，然后加et al.；要求根据期刊而定。 在投稿前，还要检查文章中一些不太“重要”的部分。
有关写作，个人认为还是广泛阅读！但一定要看英文的，而且不能翻译，就这样看，看多了自然就明白了。写作地道与否，这还要看英语水平，以及阅读量的多少。其实许多文章都有固定句型的，部分句子不会写，可以直接拿人家的句子，语法来套，其实也不失为一种方法。因此平时注意将一些优秀的表达的句子，收集起来，多读几遍，评味一下，自己写的时候自然有感觉了。 一般来说，大部分文章都是按普通的写法，如多用复合句，写得要严谨，定义要清晰，表达的词一定要精确，如show， indicate，suggest等词都有细微差别，需要体会的。另外，句子要变化。语法方面，基本原则是引用别人的都用过去时，ab
stract， discussion部分也用过去时为宜，文章正文用现在时，当然也可以用过去时，用过去时，表明尊重编辑和读者的意思，不过一般大牛写文章则用现在时，体现自信.
