First, the author contributes directly to the magazine (you can check the phone number of the agency on HowNet and send it to the mailbox).
Second, through the agent (the author does not need to find his own publications, and the agent will recommend suitable journals, saving time and effort. )
Third, through Taobao Tmall merchants (convenient and fast, the cost may be relatively low, but the merchants are mixed and need more identification)
Specific advantages and disadvantages analysis:
First, submit directly:
Advantages: direct contact with magazines, the cost is relatively low (generally speaking, magazines have no other fees except the corresponding page fee, and a few publications will charge a certain fee for reviewing manuscripts and testing, etc. )
Disadvantages: the author needs to know the direction and purpose of the published publication, and it takes a long time to reply to the review and the pass rate is low. In addition, pay special attention to those who contribute through the magazine website. Not every publication has official website, and not many publications have official website. Here, the author needs to distinguish between true and false official website and be deceived.
Second, agent publishing: agents are divided into network agents and offline agents.
1. The network agent (personal agent or company organization) contacts the author through the network (website, QQ, Weibo, etc.). ).
Advantages: Regular companies have been dealing with magazines for a long time, are familiar with the situation of publications, can recommend suitable publications according to the writing direction and content quality of articles, and have corresponding remedial measures for a few manuscripts that do not meet the requirements of publications, thus improving the success rate of publications; Long-term cooperation with the society, giving priority to peer review and quick review.
Disadvantages: the cost is relatively high; Publishing expenses are remitted by banks, and the safety of funds cannot be guaranteed; There are tens of thousands of agents on the website, plus QQ, Weibo, etc. Among them, the author needs to polish his eyes and distinguish carefully. A simple way to know the strength of an agent: talk more, ask more questions, don't worry about the reward, and find more agents. )
Relatively speaking, the guarantee coefficient of corporate institutions is much higher than that of individual agents. Corporate institutions are supervised by the industrial and commercial departments, which are large-scale and formal. All funds are paid and credited from the company account.
Personal agency is more casual.
2. Offline agency, that is, through colleagues, classmates, relatives and friends in life.
Advantages: It is relatively more secure than network proxy.
Disadvantages: when friends around you don't have such resources, it's difficult to get to know these people.
Third, Taobao Tmall merchants released:
Advantages: Many Taobao Tmall merchants have strong team operations, rich publication resources, low prices (Taobao Tmall platform has great competition and high information disclosure), Alipay guarantees transactions, and funds are safe and secure; The release speed is fast and the success rate is high (not much explanation).
Disadvantages: Taobao Tmall's credit evaluation system has caused serious fraud, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
However, at present, Taobao merchants are affected by many social factors, and they basically close their stores.
