I Am the President of the University

Chapter 399 Learn the correct way to open the valve

What is the difference between sending a SCI paper and a CNS paper?

The former can still be done by one person, and the latter, it is completely impossible to focus on personal work!

If you want to publish a "nature" or "science", almost all of them need the cooperation of the entire team.

For example, the big guide who provides direction support, the small guide who provides specific guidance, the school that provides financial support, the brothers and sisters who help you complete data analysis and visualization, the foreign language writers who polish the language of the article, and the scientific research atmosphere group on weekdays. Various classmates with whom you exchange discussions.

Of course, even if it is produced by a team, in which it can become a work together, it usually has outstanding contributions and good abilities.

Of course, as a work, there are usually outstanding contributions. But in order to really go sideways with confidence, at least you need to prove your ability to stabilize output.

Is there anyone who single-handedly produced CNS papers?

Platform-independent single-core leadership is almost a fairy tale, but... there is! It's just that this kind of person can even be said to be a person born to do scientific research.

For example, a big guy like Cao Yuan can lead a team to complete it with a single core.

With this kind of character, you can even say to your mentor: You are the worst mentor I have ever had!

Chen Hao's own scientific research ability is not bad, and after systematic indoctrination, whether it is photonic screen or the industry that extends to related materials, it is no exaggeration that the person is completely the level of the world's first person.

A paper on photonic screens is taking shape.

This paper is the cover article that he is going to publish in "nature". It has been written for a while. Since the task requires ten CNS cover articles, the fastest speed is of course to publish the two journals together, so that at least Much faster than publishing a journal.

But the keyboard sound suddenly stopped.

"There is still a little bit of data to support it, so I have to go to the laboratory." Chen Hao frowned slightly, and without delaying, he got up and prepared to go out.

The weather on Ludao Island at the end of November is the best season. The weather is more than 20 degrees, neither cold nor hot, and the breeze blowing from time to time makes the whole person feel refreshed.

Chen Hao went straight to the Institute of Advanced Materials and then to the Photonic Screen Laboratory.

In the laboratory, there are still many researchers who are busy wearing white coats at the moment.

Although Guanghua University's comprehensive strength is not very good, the scientific research institute is still quite good, whether it is the scientific research environment or the level of the team's ability to say.

In addition, Guanghua's salary is not low, which is very satisfying for these researchers.

In the absence of worries, on the contrary, more energy is devoted to scientific research.

"Let's do this experiment again..." Zheng Haoran, the current director of the Photonic Screen Laboratory, was discussing the problem with the researchers when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

"Director Zheng."

Zheng Haoran looked back, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he was really taken aback. It was noon now.

"Headmaster, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

At the end of the day, Zheng Haoran felt a little uneasy. Could it be that something went wrong with the laboratory staff?

Fortunately, Chen Hao's next sentence dispelled his worries.

Chen Hao chuckled and said, "I need a data support, so I came to the laboratory."

Zheng Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with some enthusiasm: "Principal, what experiment do you need to do? I'll check it out for you myself!"

It wasn't a time-consuming experiment anyway, and Chen Hao told the other party directly.

Zheng Haoran listened, and confidently said, "Principal, just leave this matter to me. I'll send you the data when it's done."

"It's all right, by the way, I have some good news to tell you."

Chen Hao talked about the matter roughly, and finally emphasized: "How long do you have to finish the paper? Try to write as well as possible. This time it is no problem to appear in "nature", but it depends on whether it can be on the cover article or not. Good luck."

But even so, Zheng Haoran is still very excited, there is absolutely no reason to refuse!

This is "nature", one of the top international academic journals. As long as it can be published on it, there is no need to say more about the significance of it.

"Principal, don't worry, I will definitely do this." Zheng Haoran's eyes flashed with excitement.

As the director of the Photonic Screen Laboratory, Zheng Haoran has a good ability, but he is still a little short of the talent hat of "Yangtze River Youth". If you post another one or two articles as the corresponding author or the first author of the official journal of CNS, it is almost the same. Things will settle down.

Changjiang youth + outstanding youth, that is half a step academician!

After staying in the laboratory for a while, I guided the researchers on the spot along the way.

Finally, under the admiration of some young researchers, Chen Hao slowly walked out of the laboratory.

At this time, because of the approaching class time, there were gradually more people on the road.

Zhang Lei and Zheng Tianyu's dormitory were walking on their way to the teaching building.

While walking, they were also chatting.

"The principal is really generous. Even if the award for a paper is 2 million yuan, it is now raised to 3 million yuan. It's terrible!"

Zhang Lei said a little sourly: "If only I could publish a paper on it."

The corner of Zheng Tianyu's mouth twitched, Zhang Lei's words just now made him very speechless, and he couldn't help but complain: "Old Zhang, I think you are thinking of being stupid! You want to send a computer paper and publish it on NS, Do you know how difficult it is?"

Although the two journals of NS are both comprehensive, they generally include highly innovative or high-performance papers, which are still more inclined to biochemical ring materials.

"How difficult is it? Didn't my God Cao post seven or eight "nature" articles?" Zhang Lei said with a look of admiration.

Even though Zhang Lei is only an undergraduate, Cao Yuan's prestige is also known.

The blue veins on Zheng Tianyu's forehead were almost bursting out. Many people who didn't know scientific research thought it would be so clear, but because he was more concerned about scientific research recently, he still knew something about them.

"Many 985 and 211 colleges and universities have not published a full issue of nature and science since the establishment of the school."

Zheng Tianyu gave Zhang Lei a blank look and asked, "Old Zhang, do you think the full professors and doctoral supervisors in those 985 universities are amazing?"

"Amazing." Zhang Lei replied without thinking.

"Then do you know how many official journals these doctoral supervisors can post?" Zheng Tianyu shook his head and said with emotion, "There are only a small number, and even most doctoral supervisors can't post an NS. The official journal, how difficult would you say this is?"

Don't look at Cao Yuan's seven or eight "nature" articles in a few years or Yan Ning's two or three CNS articles a year, but in fact there are only a handful of people who can actually post on it.

"Is it so difficult..." Zhang Lei was a little embarrassed, but he thought that the difficulty would only be achieved in a year or two, so he was envious.

This is also the idea of ​​most netizens, who feel that a paper is very simple to publish.

But in fact, the output of scientific research results is uncertain. Don't look at other people's papers and think it is very simple. In fact, even a low-level SCI will not be less than one year of research.

If you want to publish an official CNS issue, it may take 5 years of accumulation, or even 10 years, and the reward is not one person. In fact, more than two or three million yuan is not much.

"I don't know what happened to the principal..." Zheng Tianyu raised his head and looked in the direction of Guanghua Building with some concern.

Because of the principal's video response in the morning, the popularity of this incident has skyrocketed again, and it is now the fourth place on the Douyin hot list.

Most people don't see the good of others. This time, the dissertation award program launched by Guanghua University has really caused a lot of noise. Even though some people are protecting Guanghua, most of the netizens are still in the black Guanghua.

As the president of Guanghua University, it must be a lot of pressure now, right?

Professor Ruan Jianchang has the same idea as Zheng Tianyu.

Perhaps out of gratitude, Professor Ruan Jianchang and the team of students are working together on the thesis, which originally needed to be completed tomorrow. As a result, at 10 o'clock in the evening, through Professor Ren Hong, the paper was forwarded to Chen Hao's mailbox. inside.

"Corresponding authors: Chen Hao, Ruan Jianchang."

"First author: Lin Dong and Wang Xuan."

"Second Author: Xu Jie..."

Chen Hao looked at his name at the forefront, a little dumbfounded.

"This Professor Ruan is also true. It's useless for me to ask for the corresponding author."

The most important thing in the paper is the corresponding author and the first author. After the second work, the gold content has dropped significantly.

Chen Hao himself is the principal, not a promotion, so there is not much difference.

But he did not revise it, but sent an email to Owen, the editor of Science.

If you add your own name to this paper and send it with your own email address, it will be a completely different review result!

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Since the academic circle has a circle character, it means that some human rights and wrongs are indispensable.

For example, foreign countries always criticize China's academic level. Is this true?

it is true!

For example, the recent rebirth of a boiled egg can be published in a journal, which is really ridiculous!

But is the buttocks of the beautiful country and the cherry blossom country clean?

It's all fifty steps and a hundred steps!

When Chen Hao was still a Ph.D student at MIT, because his mentor, Professor Stephen, was a great man, he often participated in peer review of journals. He helped Professor Stephen review many papers, one of which was a vine from a beautiful country. The school professor, who is nearly 70 years old, is an absolute leader in the industry!

This Daniel submitted the manuscript to a journal with more than 12 points, and the editor gave it to Professor Stephen to review the manuscript, and then Professor Stephen was busy with work, so he handed it over to Chen Hao to review the manuscript.

Most science and engineering subjects are single-blind, that is, the reviewer knows the author, and the author does not know the reviewer.

When Chen Hao watched it, he really had a headache. Journals with 5 points for this article are reluctant, let alone 12 points...

So Chen Hao wrote down detailed comments and handed them over to Professor Stephen, and suggested rejecting the manuscript. A few days later, Professor Stephen also read it again, and felt that the level was indeed worrying, and also suggested rejecting the manuscript.

Peer review generally requires 2 or 3 industry experts to review. Not only Professor Stephen made this choice, but the other two experts also chose to recommend rejection of the manuscript. The editor-in-chief rejected the manuscript without much thought.

It will be interesting later... After this Daniel received the rejection news, he was very dissatisfied. He personally called the editor-in-chief to criticize, and the editor-in-chief contacted three experts for a second consultation, but Professor Stephen still insisted on rejecting the manuscript. , the other party is a big cow, and so is Professor Stephen, don't you need to be counseled at all?

Later, the editor-in-chief rejected the manuscript again, and the article failed to appear.

Only, it's reversed.

Half a year later, Chen Hao saw this article in a journal with more than 16 points, almost unchanged...

I did not vote for 12 points, and I changed to a journal with a higher score, and the result passed... What does this mean?

Just kidding, could it be that Professor Stephen, the winner of the Turing Award, has misunderstood?

This is not an exception, a friend from Stanford University that Chen Hao knows.

Prepare to issue an SCI paper in a top journal in the industry, and then this friend's mentor is a pioneer in this field, a fighter among the big cows.

At first, I used my own account to submit the manuscript. The corresponding author was himself and his mentor, but he was rejected in seconds.

This guy has a nasty operation behind him.

I re-submitted with my tutor's account, not a word was changed, but the account of the submission was changed.

The result will be different immediately, and it will be submitted for review... directly through the acceptance...

Will this happen to the three top international academic journals "science", "nature" and "cell"?

Professor Xiao Baoqing from Sakura Country submitted a manuscript to "nature". It only took 3 days from submission to acceptance, and he directly cut the queue and published it in the latest issue.

This kind of speed like a rocket...

Anyone who understands understands.

What is a school valve?

If an article of the same quality is submitted to the same journal, the editor and reviewer must first look at the identity of the corresponding author, and then look at the content.

The more famous journals are, the more they value the position of the corresponding author.

Therefore, Daniel can pass the draft through the green channel, and students under Daniel can also make Daniel's name, and also quickly submit the draft.

This acts as a school valve.

Students of ordinary tutors can only climb up from low-scoring journals step by step if they want to be famous; while Daniel’s students can skip these links and climb to the top one step at a time.

Therefore, if you go to graduate school and find a mentor, it doesn’t matter whether the other party has time to train you under the Daniel’s door, as long as your mentor is a leader in the industry, you will get an admission ticket.

ps: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
