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
