Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

The researchers in the genetic engineering laboratory were all staring at the journal of "China Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine" to see if Wang Ziang's article could be published.

Although compared with foreign journals, the impact factor of Chinese journals is not good, but for Chinese researchers who do not understand English, first-class Chinese journals are already quite satisfactory results.

It’s no better now than in the future. If it’s 20 years from now, let alone full-time researchers, even university students will try their best to publish in English journals. Everyone’s eyes will be on English journals, and it’s hard to find literature. Check Chinese. It will take another 10 years for good Chinese journals to be reborn and gain attention again.

However, in the 85% Chinese academic community, it is natural to read Chinese journals and publish papers in Chinese journals.

It should be said that this is also the gap between the two eras. Researchers in 1985 are mostly focusing on domestic targets. After their work has continued for 20 years, Chinese people are qualified to focus on foreign targets and make a breakthrough. Out of control - there are more than 200 countries and regions in the world. Before China's scientific research level reaches the level of China's table tennis, no one can ignore the intellectual labor of the other 6 billion people.

However, in the autumn of 1985, neither Gu Qiang nor Sun Zhengchu had to worry about the intellectual labor of the other 6 billion people, and the two sides had hardly any overlap.

The same goes for the papers they write.

It can be said that all the research in the genetic engineering laboratory, except for gender identification, has been surpassed by foreign research.

These papers that simply introduce technology are also the main reason why Yang Rui looks down on them.

It is nothing more than one or a few articles in domestic journals, and it is in the category of animal husbandry. Considering the impact factor, there are almost no ones that can reach 1.0. Even if other people don't write it, Yang Rui himself is too lazy to write it.

However, the gender identification part was done by Yang Rui alone, which is another matter.

In the next few days, Yang Rui was doing his own research, and at the same time guiding other researchers' papers.

Although the researchers in the genetic engineering laboratory are all young and middle-aged scholars selected by Yang Rui, but not counting Ouyang Shi, including Gu Qiang, they are basically half-baked.

Fortunately, the current researchers at least have a correct attitude and are willing to learn, but the progress is quite fast. At the very least, the work efficiency of those juniors is much higher than when Yang Rui was a graduate student.

In a few days, someone's paper was reviewed again.

Sun Zhengchu waited and waited, and finally he got himself.

Early in the morning, Sun Zhengchu put on his shirt, obediently came to the genetic engineering laboratory, and waited to meet the editor of "Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine".

This is of course an uncommon situation. Normal submissions are done through the post office. It takes a long time to go back and forth, but the cost is low. The most important thing is that the editors of the journals are originally irresponsible reviewers and meet with the authors of the papers. Also pointless.

The notice from the "Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine" is somewhat confusing, but Sun Zhengchu still attaches great importance to it.

This is not the first time he has published a paper, but it is the first time to publish such a high-end paper.

Compared with the "Chinese Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine" that Wang Ziang will publish, the "Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine" is even more influential. If measured by the impact factor, the latter will be about 0.2 more than the former, expressed as a percentage In other words, it is 30% more.

Although the influence cannot really be measured by numbers, as far as animal husbandry journals are concerned, this is the top-level data, and if it wants to improve, it is the business of the industry rather than the journal itself.

The status of "Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine" in the industry is also rising, and Sun Zhengchu doesn't mind showing two more smiling faces. In fact, standing in front of the experimental table, his dog teeth are about to smile. Where is there to show a smiling face, it is a smile at all From ear to ear.

Fortunately, Zheng Xiu, the editor of the Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, came early so that Sun Zhengchu's face would not collapse from laughing.

"Researcher Sun." Yang Rui called someone with his job title to show respect.

Sun Zhengchu tried his best to close the split mouth, walked a few steps with his hands and feet, and adjusted after being reminded.

"Mr. Zheng Xiu is the editor-in-chief of "Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine." In the simple reception room, Yang Rui introduced to the two: "Researcher Sun Zhengchu is the backbone of our genetic engineering laboratory in Haidian District. The writer is researcher Sun Zhengchu."

"I have admired your name for a long time." Zheng Xiu casually threw out good words, held Sun Zhengchu's hand, shook it tightly, and said, "I am really sorry to take the liberty to visit."

"No, no, how presumptuous..." Sun Zhengchu was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. He was a small researcher from a local university, and he had never seen such a posture.

Yang Rui coughed, and said, "It's my presumptuousness to make such a request..."

"Look at what you said, it's our job to serve researchers." Zheng Xiu said, letting out the people behind him, and said, "Let the article be read by Professor Mao Chengshuang."

It was only then that Sun Zhengchu noticed that the man accompanying Zheng Xiu was about the same age as him, but had a familiar smell of a laboratory.

"Okay..." Yang Rui replied, and after a while, he returned to Sun Zhengchu's ear and reminded, "Researcher Sun, your thesis."

"Ah? Oh...Okay, I put it on the table." Sun Zhengchu felt like crying, why am I so nervous.

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Go get it first, don't worry."

"Oh, good." Sun Zhengchu settled down, and quickly returned to his experiment table, took out the kraft paper bag he had packed from the locked drawer, took a look around it, and then came back, under Yang Rui's signal, handed over Give it to Zheng Xiu, and then watch Zheng Xiu hand it over to Mao Chengshuang.

This process actually stabilized Sun Zhengchu's mood.

The man calmed down, but Sun Zhengchu felt a little embarrassed. He cared so much about this matter that he was confused. He watched the thesis handed in, and Sun Zhengchu looked at Mao Chengshuang's serious reading of his thesis, and then recalled the whole thing, and suddenly asked Yang Rui incomprehensibly: "We What is this for?"

"Please ask the journal to review your paper." Yang Rui replied naturally.

"Review papers..." Sun Zhengchu repeated, and asked even more incomprehensibly: "Review in person?"

Not to mention face-to-face review, thesis review should be double-blind, that is, the reviewer does not know whose thesis he is reviewing, and the reviewee does not know who will review his thesis.

However, this kind of double-blind paper review is ideal, not only difficult to implement, but also abandoned by many journals in fact.

Because peer review is originally a new game in a small circle, papers from outside the circle will naturally be peer-reviewed in a strict manner, but how to ensure true double-blindness for papers in the circle?

For example, there are only a few research institutes in the country doing research on embryo transfer of cattle, and only one or two research institutes can achieve a high level. A scholar who is not in the animal husbandry circle does peer review, otherwise, double-blindness is nothing more than self-deception, but a lot of ills.

For this reason, most of the papers reviewed by journals just avoid the direct social relations of the person being reviewed. Even if it meets the requirements.

Otherwise, there are only a few dozen high-end scholars in some small circles, and it is a problem to find those outside the circle. Papers on animal husbandry were submitted to professors of medicine for review. They sounded like they were all about biology, but they were actually two blind men playing poker.

I don't even know what I'm touching.

However, the dissertation review can be relaxed, but what the hell is face-to-face review?

Sun Zhengchu looked at Yang Rui with doubts and anxiety intertwined on his face.

He didn't want anything strange to happen to his thesis.

Yang Rui shrugged and said: "Well, it's a bit out of order, but isn't our paper being required to revise? This way we won't be able to meet the deadline, so I asked Editor-in-Chief Zheng Xiu whether we can find a way to speed up the review process."

Sun Zhengchu's thesis did not pass the review, but was required to revise it.

This is perfectly normal in the process of publishing a paper. In fact, Sun Zhengchu was very happy to receive revisions in just a few days.

However, looking at Yang Rui's expression, Sun Zhengchu had no choice but to ask: "And then?"

"Then..." Yang Ruiqing coughed, and said in a low voice: "Then, after hearing my reasons, editor-in-chief Zheng Xiu agreed, and suggested that an in-person review might be possible. Professor Mao Chengshuang was specially invited by editor-in-chief Zheng Xiu. It meets the qualifications for review, so if he says yes, your paper will pass the review, and even if it is not, he can also propose revisions in person, so that even if we make another revision, we can meet the deadline."

Sun Zhengchu was dumbfounded when he heard that, for such a caring periodical agency, does their family sell cotton padded jackets?

"What's your reason?" Sun Zhengchu was both curious and really strange.

Yang Rui didn't react for a while, and gave a soft "en" in his nose.

Sun Zhengchu asked repeatedly: "You said that after hearing your reason, editor-in-chief Zheng Xiu agreed. What is the reason you gave?"

"Oh, I said that if the paper is not published, the researchers in our laboratory can't work with peace of mind, which will greatly affect my scientific research progress. After hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Zheng Xiu wanted to help me with this." Yang Rui said it very naturally .

Sun Zhengchu's thinking became disordered when he heard it, and he couldn't help saying: "Is this also a reason?"

Which laboratory researchers are not like this, it is possible that you have not published papers.

Besides, what do you mean by meeting the deadline? Periodicals are not a place to write novels, and there is no concept of deadlines at all, especially for large journals like "Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine", many of their manuscripts have to be queued for several months, some unlucky small papers, Therefore, there are those who are scheduled to be half a year later or even nine months later.

On-the-spot review published in the current month?

Even the weaker academicians can't be so arrogant...

Sun Zhengchu thought of this, and then noticed the way Yang Rui was looking at him, and suddenly felt restless.

The genetic engineering laboratory in Haidian District seems to be really promising...

Speaking of which, in terms of the domestic environment, it seems that such a large project as the embryo transfer of cattle can indeed be called an academician.

The more Sun Zhengchu thought about it, the more excited he became, his face turned red.

"Well, there is no problem." At some point, Mao Chengshuang finished reading the thesis, stuffed it back into the kraft paper bag, handed it back to Zheng Xiu, nodded to Yang Rui, and began to fill in the form.

Zheng Xiu put away his things, shook hands with Yang Rui, then held Sun Zhengchu's hand tightly, and said with a smile, "Thank you Researcher Sun for choosing "Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine". Next week, your masterpiece should be available."

"No, thank you." Sun Zhengchu was very excited.

"Thank you."

"thank you all."

"Thank you." The two shook hands, shaking back and forth, their faces flushed, and their skin flushed.
