The specific differences are as follows:
1. Academic level: The academic level of national journals is relatively high, because national journals are usually sponsored by national key disciplines or key laboratories, and the academic level of editorial teams and peer reviewers is relatively high. Provincial periodicals are relatively weak.
2. Influence: National journals have greater influence, because the articles published by national journals have attracted more attention and been cited by more people. The influence of provincial periodicals is relatively small.
3. Quality: The quality of national journals is higher, the peer review standards of national journals are stricter, the requirements for papers submitted are higher, and more funds and human resources will be invested. The provincial journals are relatively low.
4. Honor: In academic circles, articles published in national journals are often more likely to win academic honors, such as funding from the National Natural Science Foundation. For articles published in provincial journals, it is relatively difficult to obtain these honors.
In a word, the difference between national journals and provincial journals is mainly in academic level, influence and quality. Generally speaking, national journals are more important, but not all research work needs to be published in national journals. According to your own research direction and needs, it is most important to choose the appropriate journals to publish papers.
