摘要：In the early 1960's in America, the phrase " Publish or perish "was coined to typify the tremendous competition among the academics in the universities to beat each other in their publication records. It is the publication record that determines the progress in the career as well as the ability and success in obtaining research funding. As someone who has survived in this system for over 50 years, I would like to share with you a few tricks of the trade and how to use the system to your advantage. The methods I outline are completely legal and are above board. With dogged persistence, I was able to turn an initially terrible publication record into a reasonably successful record over the years. As Hillary Clinton said" never let a crisis go waste, use it as an opportunity". I benefitted from my initial bad reviews and learned how to improve my manuscripts. As Nelson Mandela said" Work with your enemies, then they will become your partners". Authors and referees are basically enemies, but by working with my referees over the years, I was able to improve the quality of my papers.
