如何发表顶级期刊论文 (转)
吴信东 博士（美国佛蒙特大学计算机科学系正教授和系主任， TKDE 等多种国际著名学术杂志的主编和编委）
最重要的九点：
1 、技术贡献、证据
2 、切忌打击面太广、针对的问题多，切入点不能超过 2 个
3 、知道你的敌人是谁
4 、选题
5 、实验结果、说服力
6 、好的前言
7 、相关工作、引用（该期刊）
8 、修改文章（详细说明各点）
9 、宽容态度、坚韧不拔
九条信息最重要
1 、注意你的贡献，说明你的证据
2 、 idea 有两种：
—-Your technique solves a problem for the first time 第一次，在某一点上第一次，革命性的，创造性的
—- 如果不是第一次， Your technique performs better,in one or more of the the following dimensions:
1)Behaviour 效果比他好
2)Coverage 覆盖面广
3)Efficiency 速度快、占用空间少
4 ） Useability:Users find X easier to use than its rivals 使用方便
You should avoid claiming too many dimensions but one or two with in-depth evidence.
技术贡献不能多，要针对性，更深入。做得更加深入，切忌打击面广，别人反驳更多。
论文的架构（ typical structure of a research paper ）：
title: Catchy and indicative of your research contribution
Catchy 引入注目 indicative 特殊性
题目越长，被拒的可能性越高：例如：爱因斯坦提出“相对论”，就三个字， 接下来就是“相对论的能量公式”字多了
indicative—- 说文章的大意，不要太抽象。例如：计算理论 — 太抽象了
abstract:A summary of the research problem,your chaim,and the evidence 以上三部分
introduce: 将 abstract 中的 A summary 的两三句话展开
1 ） motivation 动机
2) significance 意义
3 ） an outline of the rest of the paper
Related work:
1) A critical review 评判几大典型算法，各存在什么问题
2 ）我们的方法对于第一类问题怎么解决，对于第二类问题怎么解决
（批判别人，显出自己）
主编看摘要、前言就基本判决
Problem statement and algorithm design:Explain your ideas in detail
Evaluation:evidence to support the claim of your research contribution—unless you can provide proofs for a theoretical on theorems,experimental results and always expected
Conclusion: 画龙点睛、说你发出文章之后，此刻正在做的，接下来要做的，实验中还有哪些值得接着做的。
How to write and publish Research papers for the premier forums
国外期刊没有长度限制，这是和国内的期刊，例如“计算机学报”有区别
what to know and how to write a top-quality paper
前言最重要，能给审稿人留下印象，就是成功的一半了
1 、 A promising topic ( 一个有前途的主题 )
2 、 A convincing case （让人信服的例证）
3 、 In-depth analysis of empirical results( 经验结果的深度分析（例如，经验值、参数的设定） )
4 、 the most important part:the introduction ( 最重要的部分，前言 )
Scientific Paper 的撰写（这类论文需要有自己的想法，不是综述文章，如 review ）
Why write a scientific paper
1 、 Advance knowledge in your research field with evidence 有证据表明，在你研究的领域有了提高 / 前进
2 、 Explain your ideas and make them accessible to others 介绍你的主意，使他人理解
3 、 Two key components in a research paper
–An explicit claim on your contribution on a research problem
针对某个研究问题，直接陈述你的贡献 ( 自己做的工作要写出来 )
–Your contribution can possibly be a refutation of a hypothesis on the research problem
针对某个研究问题，你的贡献有可能被通过假设来驳斥。例如：你这么做，会不会造成数据丢失（在数据挖掘领域）
光有想法不行，要证明你的想法正确
What to know before you write
1. 考虑读者是谁：根据所投的期刊
To whom are you writing?why will they be reading your writing?
2.Assess the purpose:What should the reader take away?
让读者带走什么
3.Read other people\’s writing from the forums that you are targeting
从要投的那个期刊上去找相关文章参考
4.Know your enemy:Check who are on the program committee or editorial board,and cite their relevant work with due credit
找编委的文章来参考，毕竟他们在这领域很牛
5.Follow the rules—-length limits,formatting standards,etc
投会议，长度多长，可能自动放入一堆，直到截至时，才告诉你论文过长
choose a promising topic
与外国教授（有名的）交流，看他们的论文，问他们在这方面有什么新的进展，是否有往下做的可能
10 challenging problems
—–How to present a convincing case?
—–How are your ideas significant (to justify a paper)?
—–Some ideas are so simple that have been used many times W/O being published.
—–Is all related work referenced and reviewed?
要与主流的方法进行比较
—–Are the comparative studies with previous work convincing?
—-Have your system been implemented and used,and if so what did it demonstrate from the real world.
—–Enough details for your experiment setting.(so that other researchers can verify and improve your results)
—–What were the alternatives considered at various points of your experiments?Why and how have you made the choices for your experiments?
( 让别人知道你各种实验参数设置都考虑到了 )
consistent and conclusive 一致性和总结性
—–Can you fine-tune some key parameters to get better or worse results?If so,use figures and tables to show their impacts on your system performances
公平比较，要别人最佳的情况进行比较
——How do the experimental results correspond to the motivation of the paper?
——What have you found surprising and tried to avoid in these experiments?How generally applicable are these lessons?
如果论文是 8 页纸，那么 4 页是做实验的。
——The 1/3-2/3 Rule from a reviewer\’s perspective.
如果论文是 8 页纸，那么前言占 1 页
1 ） 1/3 time to read your introduction and make a decision
2) Remaining 2/3 time to find evidence for the decision
—–A good introduction with a good motivation is half of your success.
what to cover in the introduction
—-The research problem
—-The movivation of your research on the research problem
—-The claim of your contribution
—–A summary of your evidence to support your claim
—–The significance of your contribution
—–An outline of the rest of the paper
Most important of all:the uniqueness of you research in the field!
最佳投稿方式：
首先投顶级的会议，若被录用，则对论文进行扩展，在题名上加“ * ”，说明：论文缩写版已经被某国际会议录用，投国际期刊
