I Have a Research Support System

Chen Wanqing held a stack of CDs in her hand and pushed the door open.

"Senior sister, why did you come back so late?" Xu Qiu asked, the scheduled test time ended at five o'clock sharp.

"Don't mention it, I forgot that the computer over there can't insert a USB flash drive, you can only use a CD to copy," Chen Wanqing said:

"I went to the place where I got it, got the CD, and then copied the data back."

"Which of your computers has an optical drive?" Chen Wanqing asked.

"Nowadays laptops rarely have optical drives, anyway, mine doesn't." Xu Qiu shook his head and said.

"Me neither." Han Jiaying also shook her head.

"Don't look at me, neither do I." Tian Qing said.

"No." Wu Feifei said.

"You don't have CD drives, haha, I do!" Duan Yun said excitedly.

Xu Qiu took the senior sister's CD and put it in the CD drive of Duan Yun's computer.

"You bought this computer for a while, right?"

"I've used this computer for six years. How about it? It lasts forever."

"Indeed, long enough."

Duan Yun helped to copy the data in the CD with a USB flash drive.

"By the way, I haven't asked you how the equipment is doing today?" Chen Wanqing said.

"you guess?"

"You ask me to guess, then I guess 12%."

Xu Qiu choked for a moment, why didn't senior sister play the cards according to the routine.

Han Jiaying next to her snorted and laughed.

"Up to 10.18%." Xu Qiu said:

"Sister, don't you be surprised."

"Looking at your frightened look, I guessed that you broke through 10% early on."

...

The characterization experiments expected before the National Day have all been completed.

On Sunday, Xu Qiu summarized the test structure for the week, processed data, drew pictures, and made a PPT meeting with the team.

At night, Duan Yun came to him, scratched his head and said:

"Xu Qiu, I need to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" He was a little puzzled, and Duan Yun rarely behaved like this.

"It's the group meeting tomorrow, can you report behind Wu Feifei."

"sure."

Hearing that it was not a big deal, Xu Qiu directly nodded in agreement.

Duan Yun left satisfied after receiving the reply.

Usually, the order of reporting in the group meeting is Wu Feifei, Duan Yun, Tian Qing, Chen Wanqing, and he is the last one.

Xu Qiu calculated in his mind:

"Duan Yun asked me to speak behind Wu Feifei, that is, to speak in front of him, could it be because his equipment has not been set up yet.

Mostly so.

Let me talk about the good data first. When Mr. Wei is happy, maybe he won't pay too much attention to Duan Yun.

But, will it have the opposite effect? "

...

Monday group meeting.

"let's start."

"I've been writing articles this week, and I don't have any experimental data to talk about," Wu Feifei said.

"The article is almost finished, throw it away before the National Day?"

"it should be OK."

"Okay, show it to me after the group meeting, who will speak next?"

Xu Qiu stood up, looked back at Duan Yun, and began to report.

He deliberately put the J-V curve chart characterizing the performance of the device on the second page of the group meeting report, preemptively.

Seeing the 10% efficiency data, Wei Xingsi immediately stood up with a smile on his face.

"Not bad."

After praising Xu Qiu's work, he continued to ask:

"Have you thought about which journals to submit to?"

"AM?" Xu Qiu asked tentatively.

"AM is a relatively stable choice. Why don't you try to make a breakthrough and vote for NC?"

NC?

Definitely not what I thought.

After thinking for a while, he finally understood what Teacher Wei meant. NC should refer to the Nat. Commun. journal of Nature Communications, NC for short.

Although the impact factor of this journal is not high, it is only in the early 10s.

But with the word "natural", in terms of grade, it is generally considered to be half a grade higher than AM.

Xu Qiu remained silent and didn't answer. Let Teacher Wei worry about this kind of question.

"Then vote for AM, be safe," Teacher Wei said:

"It is more difficult for organic photovoltaic materials to submit to NC, and they are more inclined to accept theoretical submissions."

"Okay." Xu Qiu nodded in response.

Different journals, in fact, also have a focus on the manuscripts they receive, which is relatively obvious in sub-journals.

For example, AEM is a sub-journal of Adv. Mater. (AM) on energy classification of "Advanced Materials".

"You can write according to Wiely's template first, but please note that there is no Article in AM, and the format should be written in Communication."

"OK."

Next, Duan Yun reported:

"Ninety percent of my device has been completed and is still being debugged.

The last problem is to ensure that the temperature at both ends of the thermoelectric material is constant during the test. "

"Hurry up, you've been dragging it out for two months."

Teacher Wei only said one sentence and let him go.

It seems that Duan Yun's strategy has taken effect and has no counterproductive effect.

It should be that he has figured out Teacher Wei's temper and prescribed the right medicine.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy.

...

October 1st is Wednesday, so I have three more days to work this week.

Xu Qiu concentrated on writing the article, and handed over the rest to Chen Wanqing and Han Jiaying, mainly because the seniors brought the juniors to make devices.

There's still a lot to unearth in his system.

Now based on the work of P2FBT4T-2OD, it is a big job, and I plan to vote for AM.

For this article, Xu Qiu must be the first author, the senior sister is the second author, Tian Qing is the third author, the junior sister is the fourth author, and Teacher Wei is the last one as the corresponding author.

As for whether the author of the article should hang Duan Yun and Wu Feifei, it depends on Teacher Wei's intentions. Of course, this is not very important.

In addition, there are still some leftover work, such as the previous idea of ​​the senior sister, to study the light absorption properties of these donor materials as a function of temperature.

For another example, the comparison between PBT4T-based devices and P2FBT4T based on different branches can also be published as two small articles.

Even if Xu Qiu is not the main participant in these tasks, he can at least get two jobs or share one.

As for why not take care of these tasks, on the one hand, human energy is limited, and there are too many tasks to be busy.

On the other hand, the senior sister also paid a lot during the whole experiment process, and she couldn't even leave a mouthful of soup for others.

...

On Tuesday, Wu Feifei's article was submitted, and as expected, she chose the CM journal, with an impact factor of around 10, which is not bad.

At the same time, Xu Qiu and Chen Wanqing co-authored the article that was submitted to the journal "Macromolecular", and the comments were returned.

The three opinions are all positive, and the final editor made minor changes without supplementary experiments.

The revision work was mainly handed over to Chen Wanqing.

Xu Qiu continued to code, and Han Jiaying got the opportunity to make the device independently.

Wednesday, which is National Day.

Teacher Wei called everyone to have a small meeting in the morning.

Because it was not long before the last group meeting, there was nothing to report.

It mainly talks about everyone's National Day plans.

Tian Qing plans to travel.

Chen Wanqing also said that she wants to travel.

Wu Feifei and Duan Yun said they would go back to their hometown.

When it was Xu Qiu's turn, he said:

"I don't have any plans. I plan to stay at school."

"Remember to come back in the afternoon on the 7th, and those who go out to travel should pay attention to safety." Wei Xingsi said:

"Xu Qiu, you will work hard during the National Day holiday to structure the article as a whole. After your article is submitted, I will give you a holiday."

this……

Seems sloppy?

No wonder they all said that they were not at school during the holidays.

This is a time to be an honest person.

However, he had originally planned to write seriously during the holidays, so it was nothing.
