Agent skill fromyzlin286-wq/Deepscient
Use when choosing where to submit, when a paper was desk-rejected without review, when deciding between a top journal and a solid sub-journal, or when planning the submission chain; covers the three-tier strategy, why scope beats prestige, format red lines, and how to use transfer and portable-review routes.

1# 选刊:先算 desk reject 概率,再谈影响因子23## 第一原则:desk reject 的头号原因不是「不够好」,是「投错刊」45编辑初筛以分钟计,只回答一个问题:**这篇稿子在这个刊的读者群里成立吗?**6所以选刊的第一步永远是 scope 匹配,不是影响因子排序。78用 `science_journal_fit` 跑一次,看三档:910- **reach**:档位更高 **且有主题命中**。没有主题命中的综合刊不会进 reach——那不是冲刺,是碰运气。11- **target**:档位匹配、分数够。正常情况下这里是你的第一投。12- **safe**:降 1–3 档且设计兼容。用于时间压力(毕业、结题、抢 priority 窗口)。1314`science_journal_fit` 的分数可以逐项拆开,投之前先读它给你的 `matchedTopics` / `missingTopics`:1516- 目标刊的 scope 关键词命中 ≥ 一半 → scope 没问题,问题在重要性陈述;17- 命中 0 个 → **换刊,不要改稿**去迁就一个不匹配的刊。1819## 第二原则:格式红线比内容更早杀死你2021`format` 分项 < 1 就是超限。真实退稿里,超字数、超图数、超参考文献数是最容易被"即时退回"的一类,因为它不需要判断学术价值。2223投前必查(`journals.json` 里 `limits` 就是这些):2425- 正文词数(不含参考文献、图注)26- 图表总数(很多刊把"图+表"合并计数)27- 参考文献条数28- 摘要词数、是否有结构化要求2930## 第三原则:三个加速通道比"写得更好"更省时间3132**1. Registered Reports(若你的研究是假设检验型)**3334stage 1 过审即 **in-principle acceptance**,结果不影响录用(除非你偏离注册方案或质量不达标)。300+ 期刊支持。35- 适合:RCT、心理学实验、神经影像、生态学野外实验、任何"结果可能为负"的研究36- 收益:把"结果不好看"这个最大拒稿风险提前消除37- 代价:stage 1 要写清假设、样本量论证、分析计划;中途改分析要标注为 exploratory3839**2. Portable review(Review Commons / PCI / eLife Reviewed Preprints)**4041一次期刊无关的评审,被十几家期刊承认(eLife、EMBO J、EMBO Reports、LSA、JCB、MBoC、PLOS Biology、PLOS Genetics、Genetics、G3、Genome Biology、Genes & Dev、Open Biology、J Gen Physiol 等)。42- 收益:省掉 2–3 轮重复外审,每轮通常 2–4 个月43- 前提:预印本(评审对象是 bioRxiv/medRxiv 上的版本)44- 用法:`science_journal_fit` 传 `needsPortableReview: true`,看哪些 target 刊接受4546**3. Transfer / cascade**4748被拒后用出版社的转投服务,带着审稿意见走,不重新排队。49- Nature 系:Nature → Nature Communications → Scientific Reports50- Cell 系:Cell → Molecular Cell / Cell Reports → iScience51…
