Great Country Academician

While everyone in the academic world is focusing on news related to the "Discovery" journal, on the other side is the capital.

Academicians Hou Chengping and Wang Yongnian, who were still meeting at Hua Fusion Energy, also received relevant news.

Looking at the news in the newspapers, Academician Hou Chengping slapped his thigh fiercely, and said excitedly with a rosy face: "How could I forget this!"

From the side, Wang Yongnian looked over with some questioning eyes.

Hou Chengping handed over the newspaper in his hand with a smile and said, "Didn't we still discuss the submission issue of "Exploration" before? We were thinking about asking the research unit of the Nuclear Industry Group to submit articles to Academician Xu to support his popularity. Now look No need to come, he will take care of it himself.”

"It seems that he has already thought about how to go after Discovery is established."

Taking the newspaper from his old friend, Wang Yongnian flipped through it, with a hint of interest in his eyes, and said, "I didn't expect that he had already prepared a backup plan."

Hou Chengping smiled and said: "Based on what I know about him, CRHPC is probably just the first step. Don't forget that he also controls Xinghai Research Institute."

"The development of the moon is also inseparable from him. It is estimated that these projects and research institutes will also join this review mechanism in the future."

"We can look forward to the future of "Exploration"."

In fact, it is not just the two of them who are discussing this matter. Almost all domestic academic circles are discussing the newly established journal "Exploration".

Not only the discussion, but also most scholars like Hou Chengping are looking forward to the development and future of "Exploration".

Discovery!

This name, which is in line with the most basic and core of scientific research, makes people full of daydreams.

Over the past few decades, the development of domestic academic circles, whether it is professional title evaluation or performance appraisal, or even doctoral thesis, has almost always been based on English-based SCI journals.

This is not only because the right to speak in the field of basic science is in the hands of Western countries, led by the United States, but also because there are no academic journals in China that are good at it.

It is no exaggeration to say that domestic academic journals and water journals are not as popular as foreign academic institutions that will adopt and cite the papers contained therein.

Even domestic universities and scientific research institutions, many do not recognize it.

In other words, it is recognized by the regulations, but if you take out the papers you published in domestic academic journals, it is almost impossible to use them as promotion capital such as professional title evaluation and performance appraisal in universities or research units.

Even doctoral graduates from many universities do not recognize submissions to domestic academic journals, but require SCI papers.

This is enough to show the extent to which domestic academic journals are ‘parallel imports’.

Of course, this does not mean that all domestic journals are rubbish. Some journals created by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and top universities are still influential.

For example, the Chinese Chemical Society Journal Platform CCS, a journal in the field of chemistry, is not as good as top journals such as JACS and ACIE, but its impact factor has reached 11.2, and the articles above are still very good.

However, domestic journals have a huge flaw.

That is, it is difficult to get out of the country.

It is no exaggeration to say that more than 99% of the papers in domestic academic journals are submitted by domestic scholars.

Scholars from other countries have contributed only a handful of articles.

This is the flaw of domestic academic journals, which are difficult to internationalize and be recognized by other countries.

Many times, foreign scholars would rather apply to European Chemistry than consider CCS Chemistry, which has good quality articles but lacks internationalization.

If domestic academic journals can influence professional title ratings or academic assessments in other countries, then this will truly be a step forward.

At present, there is no domestic academic journal that can do this.

Therefore, in the eyes of countless domestic scholars, "Exploration" created by Xu Chuan is undoubtedly a challenge to the academic hegemony controlled by Western countries.

Although they are facing a comeback, almost no one has any hope of replacing Western countries in the field of basic science.

After all, the development of basic science has been in the hands of Western countries since the 17th/18th century.

This is an area that is more deeply entrenched than U.S. space supremacy.

It is almost impossible to achieve a corner with just one copy of "Discovery".

But as long as "Exploration" truly leaves China and goes to the world, it will affect the academic development and academic assessment of other countries.

Then China can gain a firm foothold in the field of basic science, create a world of its own, and ignite a spark.

And this will have far-reaching and significant impact on China's future academic community and even the world's academic community.

As Academician Hou Chengping expected, CRHPC's announcement to recognize the journal Discovery is only the first step.

Following closely behind are Xinghai Research Institute, China Fusion Energy, China Space Administration, Lunar Biosphere Project, and Lunar Outpost Scientific Research Station.

Almost all the scientific research institutions and cutting-edge international cooperation super projects with huge influence around the world have publicly spoken out after the CRHPC organization, recognized the "Exploration" journal, and included it in academic reference standards, assessment evaluations, and reviews. Waiting system.

After a series of public releases, many Chinese research institutes or projects that are at the forefront of the world and have great influence have included "Exploration" in the academic reference standard, which has once again set off a huge wave in the academic community.

If the occurrence of the CRHPC institution only made the physics community crazy, then the occurrence of research institutions such as Xinghai Research Institute, Lunar Biosphere Project, Lunar Outpost Research Station, and Sichuan Hai Materials Research Institute has spread this madness from the physics community to the entire academic community.

You must know that whether in the theoretical physics community, in the aerospace field, or in other fields, experimental resources are always in a situation of more monks and less porridge.

For example, the large particle collider in the physics community.

Even if there are two large particle colliders, CERN and CRHPC, it is still impossible to satisfy all physicists, and even one-tenth of the applications cannot be realized.

Therefore, CRHPC and CERN institutions have established a council to review the resource applications of physicists participating in the research, as well as physics institutes and laboratories.

The purpose is to use precious collision resources and experimental resources as much as possible on theories that are more worthy of exploration.

Therefore, the CRHPC's approach has a huge impact on the entire physics community.

Everyone hopes that their theories can be verified by experiments, so even a little bit of priority is precious to many physicists.

As for fairness?

As Professor Frank Wilczek said, there is never absolute fairness in this world.

CRHPC has done a good job.

Even papers published in "Exploration" and "Exploration Physics" will not interfere with higher-level experimental resources.

Priority at the same level is not something that destroys "fairness", and it is easier to be accepted by the academic community and attract a large number of scholars to submit papers.

It is foreseeable that when the CRHPC makes this decision, in the academic community, at least in the theoretical physics community, the emerging journal "Exploration" will be fully accepted, and even leap up to become a top journal in the physics community.

And now, this development has spread from the physics community.

For example, astronomy, biology, materials science, and other fields where China has built cutting-edge scientific laboratories or super projects will begin to provide huge influence to the "Exploration" journal with these announcements.

It is foreseeable that even if it is simply for the experimental resources and quotas in these research institutions or super projects, many scholars will take the initiative to submit articles to "Exploration".

This is an open conspiracy, the purest and most difficult means to counter.

Because Xu Chuan took out resources that are scarce and coveted by the academic community and all countries.

Xingcheng, Taohualing CRHPC headquarters.

In the office, Lin Feng and Xu Chuan sat face to face on the sofa and chatted.

"CRHPC, Xinghai Research Institute, Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, Aerospace Administration, Guizhou Sky Eye, Nuclear Industry Group, Nanjing University. Tsk tsk, the number of research institutions and universities that have participated in it so far has exceeded double digits."

"Your "Exploration" has taken off directly on the spot."

"After this, I guess those foreigners will be crazy about submitting articles to your "Exploration".

Although he is nominally only a formal researcher of CRHPC, as Xu Chuan's representative in CRHPC, Lin Feng here

Looking at the news on his mobile phone, Lin Feng smacked his lips and shook his head.

Xu Chuan didn't care too much. He took a sip of the brewed tea before speaking: "It's not a takeoff. It's just a preliminary opening of a window to the outside world."

"What "Exploration" can develop into in the future depends on its growth."

He still attaches great importance to "Exploration", otherwise he wouldn't have mobilized so many research institutions and super projects to support it.

As for commissioning articles, take your time.

To be honest, Xu Chuan didn't expect to make "Exploration" as good as "Nature" and "Science" now.

Even if there are institutions such as CRHPC to help provide some resources behind the scenes, unless it is about theories that really need experimental resources, foreign scholars will still be more willing to submit their papers to their own journals.

After all, the current influence of "Exploration" is simply not comparable to those old journals.

But he is not worried that "Exploration" will lack manuscripts.

Xinghai Research Institute, CRHPC, Sichuan Hai Materials Research Institute, aerospace field, and other research institutions and international cooperation projects can provide papers.

Especially Xinghai Research Institute and CRHPC.

The former is currently the second largest academic research institution in China after the Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

The four major research institutes of energy, aerospace, information, and materials + the Xinghai Academic Research Institute in the field of basic scientific research produce a large number of research results every year.

Among them, there are many that are qualified to be published in the sub-journals of "Exploration".

Before "Exploration" was established, these research results that did not involve confidentiality and did not affect national security would be submitted to journals such as "Nature", "Science", and "JASS".

After all, for the current situation in China, these journals are important conditions for the title rating, academic assessment, promotion and salary increase of researchers and scholars.

But now, with "Exploration", these papers naturally do not need to be submitted to foreign journals.

Coupled with other domestic scholars, "Exploration" actually has no shortage of papers.

Like other domestic academic journals, it lacks contributions and influence from foreign scholars.

However, the booths of scientific research institutions and projects such as CRHPC, Xinghai Research Institute, and Lunar Biosphere Project made up for this last shortcoming.

It also gave "Exploration" a higher foundation and allowed it to occupy a corner in the international academic community in the first place.

In the office, two fellow disciples were chatting. At this moment, Xu Chuan's cell phone thrown on the table suddenly vibrated.

Bending over to touch the phone, Xu Chuan glanced at the ringtone display and saw that it was Zhao Guanggui, director of the Xinghai Research Institute and Materials Research Institute.

His thumb lightly swiped across the phone screen. As soon as the call was connected, a voice of suppressed excitement came from the other end.

"Academician Xu, the latest result is that in the study of lunar soil, a brand new material was discovered while studying the lunar rocks collected from the 'Yaochi Crater'. When conducting experimental tests on it, it was unexpectedly discovered that naturally formed Relatively neatly arranged carbon nanotubes!”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan's face looked a little moved. He couldn't help but sit up straight and asked quickly: "Are you sure?"

Naturally ordered monolithic carbon nanotubes!

If this is true, then there is no doubt that this will be their biggest achievement in the development of the moon!

It can even be said that this is the largest and most important discovery in the history of spaceflight in the world!

Because it interferes with another important development path of mankind in the field of computers, and this, without his excessive explanation, I believe anyone who knows something about the semiconductor industry will be very clear.

Zhao Guanggui nodded seriously and replied: "I personally used a focused ion beam electron microscope to cut this new substance, and repeated the experiments through a variety of equipment such as a single crystal diffractometer, an X-ray diffractometer, and a scanning electron microscope. Observations confirmed the presence of a small number of naturally ordered carbon nanotubes in the material."

"From the statistical point of view, there are a total of 112 neatly arranged carbon nanotubes in this material, with obvious layering. Among them, 22 carbon nanotube crystals form the top layer structure, and 57 carbon nanotubes The tubes constitute the second level of ordering, and the thirty-one constitute the underlying structure.”

"It is currently unclear whether these natural carbon nanotransistors have semiconductor properties."

A series of reports were quickly passed from Zhao Guanggui's mouth.

Xu Chuan took a deep breath and said quickly: "Send me the latest test data and I will rush back as soon as possible!"

"good!"

Zhao Guanggui nodded and said forcefully: "I will send it to you through a dedicated mailbox now."
