I Have a Research Support System

After Chen Wanqing completed the light source test data, her article has basically taken shape. In the past two days, she and Teacher Wei have revised and polished the article.

Xu Qiu sat at his desk and coded, and would always see Chen Wanqing pull out the USB flash drive from the computer, go to room 218, and after a while, come back with various expressions, and reinsert the USB flash drive into the computer , and so it goes round and round.

Until the afternoon of July 30th, when Chen Wanqing came back from the outside, she said excitedly as soon as she entered the door:

"My article has finally been corrected, and Teacher Wei said that it will be rejected today."

"Congratulations, senior." Xu Qiu said.

"By the way, he asked me to read it for you to see if there are any problems." Chen Wanqing handed the USB flash drive to Xu Qiu.

Xu Qiu took the USB flash drive, plugged it into the computer, and saw that there were only two files inside.

JMCA_draft42.docx and JMCA_SI.docx.

He copied the two WORD files to his desktop.

It seems that the first file is a draft paper, with the number 42 behind it, which should indicate that this is its 42nd generation version.

In terms of journals, the senior sister is planning to vote for JMCA, which is a journal under the RSC of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the division is SCI Zone II.

Chen Wanqing sighed lightly and said:

"I feel that the JMCA vote is a bit vain, and I may not be able to win, but Mr. Wei thinks that I can fight hard, and I have no choice."

Regarding this, Xu Qiu didn't know how to respond, so he opened the document of the draft paper and said, "Let me read the article first."

The first thing that catches his eyes is a large line of titles. While reading it, he translated it into Chinese in his mind:

"Ternary Blending Strategy for P3HT:PCBM Benchmark System"

The title looks quite satisfactory, but the senior sister's job really doesn't have too much of a bright spot, and it's hard to come up with a title with a gimmick.

Below the title is the author column:

WanQing Chen, Qiu Xu, FeiFei Wu and XingSi Wei*

Chen Wanqing's first work, his second work, and Wu Feifei's third work. Wu Feifei should have participated in the revision of the thesis, and Teacher Wei was at the bottom of the list and was listed as the corresponding author.

This is also a relatively routine operation. Generally, the tutor will choose to put it at the end and mark it with "*" to indicate that he is the corresponding author, and leave an email contact information.

However, there are also some instructors who compete with students for various reasons.

Fortunately, the school has considered this situation. When a student graduates or evaluates a scholarship, if the tutor is the first work, the student's second work is also regarded as the first work.

Xu Qiu then looked at the abstract and conclusion, because he participated in most of the experiments, so it was not difficult to read.

The conclusion of the abstract seems to have been refined, using a lot of gorgeous words, and it seems to be okay.

The last part is the text, because it is a draft, so it is a single-column typesetting, not a double-column typesetting like after the official publication.

It involved some characterization methods that Xu Qiu hadn't learned yet, such as transmission electron microscope, atomic force microscope, etc., and he just skipped these parts.

The other parts are generally understandable.

Compared with the refined beginning and ending, the English expression in the middle part is really a bit stretched. He found several grammatical problems and highlighted them in yellow.

After reading the text, Xu Qiu opened the supporting information SI file.

There are only a few pictures and tables in it, no problem.

After reading everything, Xu Qiu saved and exited the file, then copied it to his own USB flash drive, and handed it to Chen Wanqing.

"Student, how is it? Is there any problem?" Chen Wanqing said.

"There is no big problem with the content, but there are some problems with the English expression.

In terms of grammar and wording, I think the places that need to be discussed are highlighted in yellow. "Xu Qiu said.

"Okay, I'll go and change it." Chen Wanqing said.

After correcting what Xu Qiu pointed out, she stretched her arms, ready to stretch.

Suddenly, there was the sound of the door opening in the corridor, followed by the sound of "da da da" leather shoes.

Chen Wanqing hastily withdrew her arm, almost reaching her waist.

After a few seconds, Wei Xingsi with his own BGM appeared.

"Chen Wanqing, what's going on, have you shown the article to Xu Qiu?" Wei Xingsi asked.

"I've seen it." The two said at the same time.

"Is the cover letter finished?" Wei Xingsi asked.

"It's finished." Chen Wanqing said.

"Okay, you pack all the files, put them in a USB flash drive, and then operate them on the big computer in my office." Wei Xingsi paused and said:

"Come here, both of you."

…………

Wei Xingsi's office has a large desktop computer, which is turned on all year round, and the screen is locked when it is not in use, and it is not turned off.

He himself uses the Lixingren laptop for his daily office work. If he goes out, he will pack a fruit laptop with official documents.

After entering the door, Wei Xingsi walked to the large computer, entered the lock screen password 218218, opened the browser, found the official website of RSC in the favorites, logged in with his own account, and entered the submission interface.

After finishing, he signaled Chen Wanqing to insert the USB flash drive into the USB port.

After the computer recognized it successfully, he copied the folder in the USB flash drive to the desktop.

Xu Qiu can see later that in addition to the two files shown to him earlier, there is also a compressed package named Figures and an ENDNOTE folder. The former should be all the pictures in the paper, and the latter should be organized. references.

Teacher Wei opened the submission interface again and began to fill in the information one by one.

First, the title, abstract, author, keywords and other basic information;

Then there are the expected reviewers. He filled in several researchers in the field of organic photovoltaics, most of whom are his acquaintances.

He did not fill in the column of reviewers he did not want to meet.

After that was the Cover Letter. He clicked on the text written by Chen Wanqing. After reading it, he changed a few sentences and copied it into the browser.

Finally, upload the text file, SI file, and the compressed package of all pictures.

After Wei Xingsi confirmed that there was no problem, he clicked Generate PDF Preview.

The webpage automatically converts the uploaded text and WORD files into PDF files, but the download speed is a bit slow because it needs to be downloaded from the external network.

During this period, Teacher Wei backed up all the data on his own laptop.

Then, he turned around and took out three cans of coconut juice from the refrigerator, and handed them to Xu Qiu and Chen Wanqing.

The coconut milk comes in long cans, but it’s not a certain brand of coconut milk in China, and Xu Qiu doesn’t recognize the words printed on it, so I can’t tell where it was produced.

"Chen Wanqing, after submitting this article, what are your plans?" Teacher Wei asked casually.

"The preliminary plan is to use Wu Feifei's perovskite material as a transmission layer material, but the experiment has not yet started." Chen Wanqing said.

"Okay, the idea is okay, but it should be a small article," Teacher Wei said:

"Next semester, if you have time, take Xu Qiu to Zhangjiang to do synthesis, the laboratory has already been built there.

In the field of organic photovoltaics, the synthesis of new materials is the foundation, and we cannot always use other people's materials, right? "

"Okay." Chen Wanqing nodded.

The PDF has been successfully downloaded and opened automatically. Wei Xingsi scrolled the mouse wheel up and down, looked at it, and said:

"There seems to be no problem. Come and take a look. If there is no problem, I will submit it."

Xu Qiu and Chen Wanqing approached. Xu Qiu picked up the mouse and read the PDF again with his senior sister. They found no obvious mistakes, so they said, "Mr. Wei, it's okay."

Wei Xingsi took the mouse, clicked submit, and said:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Call Wu Feifei and Duan Yun over."
