听说现在我校规定博士要发影响因子在1以上的SSCI才能毕业,吓了一大跳。赶紧去查学校的公文,查了半天以后发现是“科技类要求影响因子在1以上;社科类只要是SSCI就行,不管影响因子”。放心了。
对于那个criteria和criterions的问题,我给老外写了个邮件。他的回信如下:
Dear Dr. Dai,
Thank you for the opportunity to assist you further. "Criterion" is one of those words in English, like "datum" (plural form data), that does not follow the common rules for pluralization."Criteria" is the proper plural term for "criterion". The term "criterions" is sometimes used incorrectly when "criteria" is intended. If you are ever unsure of whether a word or phrase is common in English, Google Scholar can be a good reference. In this case, "criteria" is found over a million times, while "criterions" only approximately 65,000 times.
Please let me know if I can answer any more of your questions or provide any further assistance.
Best Regards,
Kim
