Identifying a new species is not an easy task. First, you have to check whether there are any repetitions of the predecessors. This alone can exhaust people in the age of computers. network

If you look at the book of plant taxonomy, behind a lot of animals and plants, there are a lot of "synonyms", there are three or five different names, or more animals and plants with different names are too numerous to enumerate. , and the meaning of "different name" can basically be said to mean "low oil, mistaken".

No matter how serious the taxonomists are, given that there are so many species on the earth, the appearance of heteronyms is still inevitable. In order not to become a member of the heteronym group, Professor Xie had to work harder.

However, with the electron microscope from the ion channel laboratory and the research dog from the ion channel laboratory to drive, Professor Xie is willing to help.

Just being able to use the new electron microscope is not easy.

Unlike Yang Rui, who spent millions of dollars to buy equipment, although Professor Xie is also a professor at Peking University, his annual funding is only less than 100,000 yuan.

In fact, this is the normal funding allocation model. Those who do plant taxonomy can have tens of thousands of yuan a year, which is quite a lot.

Naturally, the money is not for Professor Xie to purchase equipment. If he wants to use equipment, he will go to the public laboratory. A large part of the funds will also be handed over to the public laboratory to buy equipment for everyone. .

This is naturally not very cool, but it is also impossible.

When Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory was first established the year before last, it was still a machine-building model of one instrument and one instrument. No one expected that he saved it so quickly, and it took only one or two months. Let his laboratory become the top biological laboratory in China.

There are many things that are better than his laboratory, but it is impossible to say that it is more comprehensive. Anyway, the instruments in Yang Rui's laboratory are all newly purchased.

As a researcher, the ownership of the instrument is certainly a good concept, but it is also very happy to be able to use it occasionally. This is like a dutiful son going to Disneyland to play. Of course he wants Disneyland to be his own. However, if he didn’t work hard when he was reincarnated, it would be useless to urge his father the day after tomorrow. with pleasure.

In addition, Professor Xie also learned the basic use of pcR from Yang Rui. It is naturally rare for a pcR expert to teach the use of pcR face to face.

Therefore, when the new species of "Zhang Feilan thornhead" appeared in the paper, Professor Xie, who was in charge of writing the paper, handed over the first author to Yang Rui cleanly.

Yang Rui accepted it without any hesitation. Although the folks are very interested in the discovery of new species, from an academic point of view, a paper on a new species is very common. It would be a bit powerful if a new group was identified, which is just a new species of the genus Blue Echinococcus. It can only be published in Chinese journals to enjoy the fun. Professor Xie's exchange of appraisal work for Yang Rui's pcR teaching is also a fair trade.

On the other hand, relying on Yang Rui's reputation in the biological world, he published a Chinese paper on a new species, which was even more green light.

Usually it takes two to three months, or even four or five months to review manuscripts, but it only costs 9.8 yuan, and it only takes ** days, and the review is completed.

Needless to say, the editor of the Journal of Plant Taxonomy certainly did not abide by the two-way anonymity standard, and revealed Yang Rui's identity to the reviewers.

In China, or in other words, on a global scale, this is unavoidable, especially when a big man publishes a thesis, it is a story of joy and sorrow.

If the standard of two-way anonymity is strictly followed, who knows if the scholar in charge of reviewing the manuscript will reject the manuscript in a jerk? Maybe even write a fierce review.

Scholars like Yang Rui are already at the top level in the field of Chinese biology. Nets has declared it again, he is also a member of the GMP committee, and he has a good record, his reputation is almost broken, and he has the management rights of two laboratories under his name. It can be said that his move is entirely possible Changed the direction of Chinese biology.

If such a scholar is rejected by a Chinese journal, what will happen?

If Chinese journals have sufficient reasons for rejecting manuscripts, it goes without saying that both the journal and the rejectors can gain a great reputation. However, in terms of the quality of Chinese journals, they want to find someone who can be on par with Yang Rui It is impossible for biologists to review manuscripts, so what qualifications do they have to reject manuscripts?

It was as if Dalbecco had submitted a manuscript to an ordinary journal in the United States, but was rejected by an unknown professor at the University of Colorado.

There will definitely be a sensational effect in the academic world, but it is definitely not what the journals want.

From the perspective of journals, the more papers from top-notch scholars, the better, and the papers from top-notch scholars cannot be rejected. Do something.

If the reviewer happens to be too busy or too lazy, and ends up handing over the review to the students under his hands—this kind of cheating is normal—then the rejection incident will be interesting, It is equivalent to saying that the paper of a top scholar is rejected by the dog. Even if Christmas is not good, the dog has no reason to be so happy.

It is also because journals, reviewers, and even authors of papers have various concerns. The standard of two-way anonymity has always been the patent of ordinary scholars in the academic world.

Yang Rui may not have privileges in the world's top journals, but it is natural to get privileges when he occasionally steps into the field of botany.

Within a few days, some social media reported the "Zhang Feilan thorn".

So, recently, the media who have been wanting to interview Yang Rui and ask about him and the Nobel Prize suddenly found out, good guy, no wonder Yang Rui couldn't be found, this guy has gone to the wild.

If you say that if you go to the wild, you will go to the wild to avoid the media. Ordinary people rarely see it, and media reporters see it less?

However, if normal people run away, no matter how they think about it, they will not discover a new species.

Moreover, the new species was named "Zhang Fei"?

Are you trying to hide your name from the media? Or seduce the media to interview?

The reporters fell into deep thought.
