How long does it take for journal articles to be indexed by EI? EI is an engineering index, one of the three major international retrieval systems. Many people habitually think that the publication period of international academic papers will be relatively long, in fact, whether it is domestic or international papers. Publication cycles are long and short, and cannot be generalized. The same is true for EI papers. EI retrieves academic journals and academic conferences. The retrieval time of journals and conference papers must be different. Between different journals and different conferences, The time required for retrieval is also different. How long can a paper be published for EI retrieval?
EI publishes 1 issue a month, with 13,000 to 14,000 abstracts. EI is searched quarterly, usually about 3 months after publication. Of course, this is only a normal time. EI papers are published, excluding the time the author writes the papers The most important thing is the review time. The length of the review time often determines the efficiency of retrieval. The review time of EI papers is generally 2-4 months, and more than half a year also exists. Just reviewing the manuscript is still far away. Not enough. After reviewing the manuscript, the author often needs to revise several times before the article is finally accepted. This time cannot be ignored. Some authors have relatively low revision efficiency and take a long time. Simply modify it.
In addition to the above time, there is also certain uncertainty about when a journal or conference will submit an article to EI. The early retrieval of submission will be faster, and vice versa. Therefore, the time for an article to be retrieved has many determinants, and each decisive factor is There is uncertainty. If the author wants to retrieve the article on time, it is best to reasonably arrange the process of writing and publishing the article in advance.
