Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

In front of the camera lens, Yang Rui ripped apart the kraft paper-wrapped international mail with a "tear".

This thing feels very good when I tear it for the first time, but after tearing it three or four times, it doesn't feel special anymore.

Zhao Lei thought it was very interesting, and waved her hand gently, motioning for the photographer to take a close-up. She also gently read the English on the package: "This is an email from the most famous American academic magazine "Cell". The papers I wrote for a while were published in this journal."

The photographer gave Zhao Lei a thumbs up to signal the completion of the shooting.

Dean Liu let out a long sigh of relief, rolled on the ground, and was about to get up.

Zhao Lei smiled lightly and blocked it with her hand, pointing to the camera.

The red light for filming was still on.

Dean Liu supported his waist with his hands, and looked at Zhao Lei for no reason.

"Wait a moment." Zhao Lei made a mouth shape, and then waved her hand to let the photographer come forward to take pictures of the things in the mail bag.

Dean Liu had no choice but to support the ground with his hands, and leaned back as much as possible. For a while, he only felt back pain.

However, for the sake of the TV station's publicity, this kind of thing can't be taken care of.

It was Yang Rui who saw it and took two steps forward before releasing it.

Xu Zhengping didn't care about the camera or Dean Liu anymore, he tried his best to help Yang Rui take out the contents of the package, and asked at the same time, "Did you send the paper over again?"

""cell"? No."

"It looks quite thick. Could it be the new issue of the journal that Cell gave you?"

"It's a copy, let me take a look..." Yang Rui recognized the name composed of all capital letters.

Xu Zhengping read it out faster than him, and with a raised voice, he said, "It's the new moon summary of "Cell". Is there a new moon summary sent over so soon?"

"What is the new moon summary?" Yang Rui didn't know, so he had never published such a high-end paper before.

Xu Zhengping had never seen a pig run and had eaten pork before, so he said excitedly: "You know, journals like Cell are typesetting a month or two in advance to decide which papers to publish in the next issue, and the next issue, unless there are Papers that are valued jump the queue,

Otherwise, the layout of the next few issues is actually basically determined. "

"I know this, but what does it have to do with the New Moon Summary?"

"It has a lot to do with it. If the cell confirms the typesetting of its next two or even the next three issues, won't the number of citations of each paper in the cell be known in the next few months?" Xu Zhengping paused and said. : "The crescent summary is to calculate these citations. For the authors of the papers published in the cell, they will send the two-year crescent summary by default. Of course, you must have the number of citations in the current month."

"You mean, my paper might be cited?" Yang Rui's eyes lit up, but he turned around, turned his back to the camera, and said, "The time is too short, how long has it been published. "Cell "The papers on" are all written for a year or two."

Xu Zhengping looked calmly at the camera and said, "Although many papers take several years to write, they don't know how many times they have to be revised before they are published. Naturally, new citations and references must be added every time they are revised. Otherwise, Papers from two years ago still use knowledge from two years ago, and the news will become old news.”

Yang Rui nodded in approval. His paper was also slightly revised before publication. This was the happiest reviewer's opinion other than direct publication. I paid him 600,000 yuan, and it was cash.

To judge others by oneself, those authors who need to overhaul, who need to explain, and who need to redo the experiment may all have it. In the process of writing a thesis, adding one or two citations is nothing.

Conversely, papers that cited few references, or those that cited outdated references, tended to receive lower ratings from reviewers. The worst thing is that if you don’t read the literature, or read the literature carefully, after all, you don’t see the literature in a certain corner, and then the authors who just do the experiment, sometimes, someone has already made a certain middle conclusion of their hard work. , In other words, they could have quoted other people's papers, saving a lot of time and energy, but they did it again, and they were regarded as fools and idiots. If they are lucky, they will be asked to revise , and add references, if you are unlucky, you will be rejected directly.

Dean Liu was more excited than Yang Rui when he listened to the conversation between the two. He couldn't care about his old waist or the presence of the camera, and stomped his feet and said, "What are you talking about? Let's see what is written in it." What."

"Oh." Yang Rui flipped through the purely printed Crescent Summary, sorted them alphabetically, and quickly found his thesis.

On the right side of the paper, there are two numbers, "3" and "11".

"3 is the current citation is 3, 11 is the citation of the next three issues is 11, and there are a few blanks behind, which should be the total number of citations of several databases, such as the American Science Citation Index (), Engineering Index () and the like Yes, it probably hasn’t been counted yet.” Xu Zhengping was half explaining and half muttering, with a rather strange tone.

Looking at Dean Liu again, he opened his mouth and panted regardless of his image.

He was completely unaware of the change in his appearance.

Zhao Lei said softly: "Excuse me, the number of citations is 3 and 1, is it more or less?"

"A paper, published less than a month ago, has 3 citations in the current issue and 11 citations in the next three issues. Do you think it is more or less?" Xu Zhengping asked rhetorically.

Zhao Lei has an excellent image and temperament. When interviewing male subjects, she doesn't even need to sacrifice her identity as a TV reporter.

Fortunately, she has experience in dealing with emergencies. She adjusted her mood in an instant, smiled again, pointed at the camera, and said, "Can you introduce us to the audience?"

She didn't say whether she understood or not, so as to save herself from arguing again.

Xu Zhengping glanced at the camera, pondered for a moment, and said: "A citation refers to the knowledge involved in a paper, which is originally created by a certain reference. The author lists the references in the references after the paper. 1 A citation means that there is a paper that uses the knowledge in Yang Rui’s paper, or in other words, a citation proves that Yang Rui helped a scholar solve a difficult problem.”

"So, with three citations, it means that Yang Rui helped three scholars solve problems?" Zhao Lei began to pose for an interview.

"Of course there are more than three people." Xu Zhengping said: "These three references refer specifically to the references of the cell, and they refer to the references of the next issue. That is to say, there are three authors who are about to publish a paper in "Cell", using Arrived at Yang Rui's paper, and within a short month. In the next three issues, the number of citations will expand to 11 or even more. Hey... All in all, this kind of situation is rare, which proves that Yang Rui's paper has great potential... ..."

"It means that in the next time, Yang Rui's total citations will increase significantly." Dean Liu puffed up his chest, feeling like a housekeeper of a wealthy family.

"Can you give us a visual comparison? How many citations can an average college student get?"

"An ordinary college student?" Xu Zhengping laughed out loud, and Dean Liu beside him couldn't help but smile too.

Zhao Lei is actually knowledgeable. She studied at Columbia University, and even though she only wrote a graduation thesis, it was published anyway, and she knew a lot about various aspects.

Yang Rui's performance has long been out of the scope of ordinary college students. In fact, few domestic graduate students can publish papers in high-level journals. Cell is more like a fairy tale. reports.

Zhao Lei was also in a moment of anxiety and said something stupid, but Xu Zhengping and Dean Liu made her blush with laughter.

She took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and continued the interview: "As far as I know, the citations of ordinary papers are often only single digits, is that true?"

TV viewers don't know what level they are citing, and they must have a reference for comparison.

"An ordinary paper can have three or four citations. I'm talking about ordinary researchers, not ordinary students. It's normal for a student's paper to have no citations." All blocked.

Other young people might be unhappy at the moment, but Yang Rui didn't want to show off, and stood silently behind, not anxious at all.

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "So, Yang Rui's three quotes..."

"It's 3 cell references."

"Yes, the 3 cell references are beyond the level of ordinary researchers?"

"It can't be compared. I said that the papers of ordinary researchers have three or four citations. I mean the citations accumulated in their papers over several years, ten years or even decades. According to such standards, Yang Rui's current citations The number should be 11, and it is increasing rapidly. Think about it, if there is such a data in a month, what will it be like in a few years or a dozen years?" Xu Zhengping thought so as he said so.

Zhao Lei asked a few more questions, and then interviewed Yang Rui, seeing that he was not in the mood to talk, so she stopped filming.

Nowadays, video tapes are not cheap, so it is a little bit cheaper.

Yang Rui himself was actually in shock.

Zhao Lei asked the question from the perspective of an ordinary person. Naturally, the question was empty and simple, but Yang Rui knew what it meant to have so many quotations in a month.

This is definitely the rhythm of fire!

The impact factor of cell is above 30 all year round, that is to say, the average number of citations of the papers published here in the past two years is above 30.

Although he was sure that his papers were above the average, in the first month, the number of citations for the cell alone reached 11, which was completely beyond Yang Rui's expectations.

You should know that the peak of citations after a paper is published is often 3 months or even half a year later, within one month, it can be said that most of the papers that cite it have not yet been written.

This is also the benefit of Yang Rui's thesis on potassium channels two years in advance. Two years in advance means that I have to solve more problems. Some references to similar projects that were originally in progress will be assigned to Yang Rui's papers, and those project teams may face disbandment or major changes because of this.

"The waves are magnificent." Xu Zhengping stood behind, holding the pure English "New Moon Summary" in his hands, and seemed to sigh and comment.
