I Have a Research Support System

Next, the four undergraduates reported to the group meeting in turn.

Yin Houlang and Xu Xinjie, who belong to the organic photovoltaic team, carried out a rough division of labor, which is somewhat similar to the division of labor between Xu Qiu and his seniors and juniors.

Yin Houlang followed Wu Shengnan to synthesize in the Jiangwan laboratory. The target product was FOIC, while Xu Xinjie stayed in Handan and followed Han Jiaying and Mo Wenlin to learn a series of processes of spin coating, evaporation, and testing devices.

Yan Hu and Yu Ya, who belong to the perovskite team, have a relatively low degree of freedom, and basically conduct experiments according to Wu Feifei's plan.

At the same time, the two school-level projects applied by several undergraduates have passed the preliminary review of the school, and the projects have been officially approved. Now they are starting to prepare the opening report.

For school-level projects, the teachers in the preliminary review only look at the format of the submitted materials, not the content, so it is not difficult to pass the preliminary review.

Moreover, even if the declared materials are flawed, the teacher will point out the problem and give students the opportunity to modify it. After all, the starting point of these projects is to train students. For every student who intends to develop in the direction of scientific research, the school will give the best degree of support.

After passing the preliminary examination, the school-level project imitates the three stages of the opening, mid-term and graduation defense in the process of postgraduate training, and is also divided into three stages: opening, mid-term and conclusion. Assessment, or on-site defense.

At the same time, when distributing funding, it will be divided into three batches.

Take the project with the highest budget of 20,000 yuan as an example:

First of all, the school will directly allocate 8,000 yuan after the students pass the examination/defense of opening questions.

Among them, 4,000 yuan is project research funds. There are usually no restrictions on the use of such research funds, as long as they are used for scientific research, there is no problem.

For example, you can buy materials, you can also go to the school or the public instrument platform of the department to test, and even the taxi fare can be reimbursed with the invoice issued by the platform or taxi company, as long as you claim that you are a cross-campus experiment, or the transportation expenses incurred when you go out for the test That's it.

However, if you want to reimburse the catering invoices, it may be a bit of a mystery. You can't say that you are doing scientific research on the dining table.

The other 4,000 yuan will be paid in the form of labor fees/remuneration, and the students and tutors will each receive 2,000 yuan, which will be directly transferred to the bank card tied to the student number/employment number.

Freshmen of Shanghai University of Shanghai will be advised to apply for a bank card of the Agricultural Bank of China when they enroll. If the student agrees to apply, the school will mail it to the student's home together with the admission notice and other materials after the bank card is issued. At the same time, this bank card will also be automatically bound to the student's student number; if the student does not want the school to handle the bank card for him, he can also use his own bank card.

But no matter what, each student number must be bound to a card, and the situation of faculty and staff is similar, because if the card is not bound, the payment of school remuneration, salary, or scholarships will be affected.

In addition, students' annual tuition and accommodation fees can also be paid through this bound bank card, that is, enough money is deposited into the card, so that there is no need for manual payment, and the school will automatically withdraw from the card when the time comes. deduction.

It is worth mentioning that this kind of deduction does not require students to enter passwords or verification codes, and the money will be transferred directly. Xu Qiu thinks that if it is not because this is a school, the bank would not dare to directly give such a high amount. authority.

So, what if the student neither pays actively nor deposits money in the bound bank card, that is, forcibly refuses to pay the tuition fee?

This situation also exists.

As far as Xu Qiu knew, among the undergraduates and graduate students in the Materials Department, there was more than one student who, due to various reasons such as difficult family conditions, dragged on to pay the tuition fees.

I heard that the way to deal with it later is that the counselors come to talk with each other to understand the actual difficulties of the students, and then extend the time limit for paying tuition fees to before graduation.

I have to say that the school is relatively humane in this respect.

But humanization is humanization, and the money that should be paid can never be escaped. Only by making up various expenses can one get a graduation certificate.

In addition, if malicious speculation is made, it may be that the school is afraid of making news. If it is reported by the media: "A student of a certain major at Shanghai University of Magic was expelled because he could not pay the tuition fees."

At that time, it will definitely trigger a wave of public opinion.

After passing the opening examination/defense, there will be a mid-term assessment/defense. If this is also passed, the school will give another 8,000 yuan. This time, 6,000 yuan will be used for scientific research funds, and the remaining 2,000 yuan will be used as labor costs. Students and tutors Divide equally, 1,000 yuan each.

In the end, the school will give another 4,000 yuan after completing the end-of-question assessment/defense.

That is to say, a total of 20,000 yuan is allocated in three installments, of which 10,000 yuan is for scientific research funds, and the other 10,000 yuan is for labor costs, and the tutors and students will split the accounts 50-50.

If two students complete a project together like now, the 5,000 yuan labor fee distributed to the students will be divided equally between the two students, and each will get 2,500 yuan.

Of course, if the progress of the project does not continue, for example, if the student runs away halfway through, then the money will not be available later, and it will also reduce the project team’s evaluation of the tutor, and at this time, the tutor needs to manually apply for the abolition of the project, and then the Have the student apply again to the program of the same name.

Like before, if Xu Qiu hadn't taken over, one of Mr. Wei's projects would have been unfinished.

In addition, the 10,000 yuan scientific research funding is the level of mosquito legs for most research groups, and many projects require money from the group to progress.

But even so, the doors of most research groups are open to undergraduates all year round, and they are welcome to come to do projects at any time, because the tutors of the research groups mainly value the value created by the labor of undergraduates.

After the group meeting ended, Wei Xingsi did not rush to dismiss everyone, but asked: "Xu Qiu, have you dealt with Zhang Jiang's laboratory? The department said that we should hand over the keys to the laboratory and office there." .”

"This is the key to Zhang Jiang's office, and the key to the laboratory is in the office." Xu Qiu took the key off his keychain, handed it to Teacher Wei, and continued, "Everyone in Zhang Jiang has Everything has been dealt with, and now everything that can be taken away is taken away, and the remaining fume hoods, cabinets, furniture, etc. are all left to the departments according to the previous plan."

"Okay." Wei Xingsi took the key, and asked again: "Where is Jiangwan, now we move there, is everything normal when doing experiments? Is there any problem with the equipment?"

Xu Qiu looked at Wu Shengnan and motioned for her to answer. After moving in last week, she was mainly conducting experiments.

According to Xu Qiu's estimate, there shouldn't be any problems. After all, Zhangjiang is an organic laboratory, and the instruments inside are relatively durable. There are no glove boxes or evaporation equipment like the electron microscope or the laboratory in Handan. Relatively "delicate" instrument.

"Everything is normal." Wu Shengnan simply replied.

Wei Xingsi nodded without asking any further questions, and instead said: "By the way, the articles of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been divided into sections. I took a look at several new journals related to us. Adv.Sci., which is the same series as AM under Wiley, is now In addition, ACSEL under ACS is also in the first district, and the divisions of other mainstream journals have not changed much.”

"I'll post the document to the group later, you can take a look..." After a pause, Wei Xingsi continued:

"How about this, Wu Feifei, please list the journal abbreviations, impact factors, and divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that are commonly seen in the research fields of organic, perovskite, and thermoelectricity in our group, and post them on the wall of the office. You are usually fine. You can also take a few glances at the time, and it is also more friendly to newcomers, and you can quickly get familiar with the grade differences between different journals."

After Wu Feifei nodded, Wei Xingsi announced the end of the group meeting.

Xu Qiu felt that the approach proposed by Teacher Wei was more meaningful.

Like when he first joined the research group, his eyes were darkened when he read the literature. Every time he encountered a new journal, he had to manually search the Internet to confirm the grade of the journal. If he had this form, he would undoubtedly Save newcomers a lot of effort.

Back in the office, Xu Qiu downloaded the partition file of the Chinese Academy of Sciences sent by Mr. Wei in the group, and began to read it. The format of the file is an EXCEL table, and each line corresponds to a journal, including the journal name, impact factor, category, partition, etc. .

This time the Chinese Academy of Sciences updated the zoning situation, and the journals related to Xu Qiu are only ACSEL.

The change of ACSEL to the first district means that the number of articles in the first district in his hands has increased by one more, reaching eight articles, which is only one step away from the mission goal of ten articles in the first district.

In addition, after the division results came out, Tian Qing was the biggest winner.

On the one hand, she has an ACSEL and an Adv. Sci., these two journals were new journals without divisions before, and now they are both promoted to the first district journals.

On the other hand, her recent work on "ITIC Series Exciton Binding Energy and Exciton Diffusion Distance Test Collection" submitted another article to ACSEL.

If this ACSEL can also be accepted, plus the previous review published on CHEM.

For a master student, there are four first-district articles in less than a year and a half after entering the university. Such achievements are indeed fruitful.

Some people seem to be paddling, but they are actually paddling, but when they come out at the critical moment, they find that they are more powerful than those who have not paddled and worked hard.

I have to obey.
