Qualified or even excellent editors of scientific and technological journals should have academic foundation. In other words, you should become an expert in the subject direction of editing. Having a certain appreciation and judgment for scientific and technological papers should not be satisfied with the "mechanical" processing and compensation of punctuation and standardized format. If there are obvious errors in symbols, formulas and principles in the paper, or the expression does not conform to the grammar and logic of scientific Chinese, it should be judged intuitively. Some problems may not be left to the reviewers. Occasionally, when the reviewer is negligent, the editor should find the problems in time and make up the table in time. We can't shirk the responsibility or try our best to cover up the problems after the periodical is printed (such as errors in formulas, symbols, etc.); Or just withdraw the manuscript from China HowNet and do not publish or correct it in paper and periodicals. It is obviously a lack of confidence that they dare not publicly correct their mistakes. Perhaps, some people think that as long as they keep hiding, they will be forgotten over time. This fluke mentality has the "advantages" of the ostrich policy. However, the potential crisis still exists, because the crisis has not been eliminated, but has been avoided and covered up. They don't live in a down-to-earth way. They don't say they are worried all day. They also have a sense of guilt in their hearts. This is the harm of lack of confidence.

Of course, editors of scientific and technological journals should also be grounded. This is similar to grounding. Good conductors must be used. To ground gas, we must first understand the ground gas. For sci-tech journals, the so-called geographical climate is nothing more than understanding the academic frontier, understanding major experts in disciplines, understanding the research interests and expertise of young scholars, and understanding the dynamics of academic institutions (research institutes, universities, front-line production units and enterprises). Manuscript source can't sit in the office and wait. It should go to the field to dig, develop, contact and dig like a hard farmer. Sometimes, high-quality manuscripts only show signs, and they can't come out without development and mining. Digging in the wrong way can also be bad. Archaeologists do fieldwork, and so do editors. The place and content of the investigation are different, but the purpose of the investigation is the same. They are all to improve the work, to obtain useful information and to find the power point.

How can we get high-quality manuscripts without grounding and close contact with all kinds of manuscripts? It is unlikely to wait and wait without starvation. The starvation of sci-tech journals is nothing more than the scarcity of good manuscripts; Without high-quality rice, we had to cook with coarse rice. The starvation of scientific and technological journals may also be due to inadequate service, a master's style and the problem of robbing the author. The author is angry and the manuscript source is lost.

Of course, this confidence and local spirit are inseparable from the support of ambition. A journal, regardless of the language, the "level", the "level" of the editor, and the discipline background of the editor, is easy to do as long as the editor has ideas, ambition and is willing to contribute. Conversely, when a monk hits the clock one day, or even does not hit the clock step by step, he tries to sell the old clock all day long in exchange for "material collection", the abbot will not let such a monk find it.
