5. How I struggled through my career • My first journal paper (in English) published in 1970 in ChinIChE • In the years of 1970~1980, most papers are published in domestic journals. • My first paper published in an international journal in 1980---Chemical Engineering Communications (Gordon and Breach). • First paper appeared in I&EC journal in 1985, • First paper appeared in Chem. Eng. Sci. in 1986.* • First paper in Int.J. Control was published in 1987.* • First paper in AIChE was published in 1990. • First paper in JPC was published in 1994.** Since then, papers were published mostly in many well known Journals. For example, AIChE, I&EC, CES, JPC, IEE, Computers &ChE, etc. In last five years, I am the author or co-author of 42 journal papers.

9. Questions to remind author: • Is the subject of the paper consistent with the scope of the journal to be submitted? • Has this material been published before in English? • Does the scientific content justify the space it will occupy? • Can any parts of the paper be shortened or omitted without loss of scientific content? • Are there any errors of fact or logic? • Are all the figures necessary?

10. Questions to remind author (Continued): • Is the number of significant figures in the tables justified? Is it necessary to include both graphs and tables based on the same data? • Does the summary (normally 50-150 words) bring out the main points of the paper? • Is the title suitable and adequate? • Are the literature references adequate and publicly accessible?

11. Features of a publishable paper • New and good idea • Sound theory with good illustration or experimental validation • Reproducible results • Good logic • Easy reading English---use simple sentence, precise wording, and proper length

12. How to publish good papers • Work hard • Work with heart • Have good luck
